-Auto-scan of all wired Roku devices, manual scan for wireless devices -Navigate directly to any channel using Channel button (New) -Supports multiple Roku players -New Back, Info & Replay buttons -Landscape & portrait -Fast text entry -Home screen widget -Multiple Skins (New: custom skins)
To use your own custom image as a background skin, copy any image into the RokuRemote folder in your SD card. The image name must be one of the following: Custom1.jpg, Custom2.jpg or Custom3.jpg. You can then select Custom1, Custom2 or Custom3 for your skin in Device Preferences. If you select a custom image from the preferences screen that doesn’t exist, the default skin will be used. The bundled images are 320 by 480 pixels, but any image should work and scale to fit the screen.

Great remote Works better than the original roku remote
★★★★★
Love it! This app is worth the $. Very handy, easy to use, & I've had NO issues with it on my G2X. Never even use the remote my Roku came with anymore. Thank you dev!
★★★★★
This remote rocks! Love the channel shortcuts. Get text searching. Just 2 things I that could be better 1. Ability to edit/rename certain long text channels 2. What is the secret menu?
★★☆☆☆
It did not work. Could not find roku
★★☆☆☆
Huge Lag Time In my environment the application successfully controlled my Roku 2 but there was a significant (1-5 seconds) lag time between clicking a remote button and execution of the action on the Roku. Also, device had to be manually added by supplying the IP address and then did not pick up the device name. All in all, a complete waste of time.
★★☆☆☆
App fails on every level. Want refund. Doesn't control Roku box well at all. In fact, it does something so wrong that my other remotes won't work either until I force close this app. Secret menu and bitrate functions don't work either. Don't waste your time or money.
