Remote for Roku

Normally $0.99.

“Remote for Roku” is an iPhone/iPod Touch app that can remotely control Roku video players. The app has a simple and elegant interface, it automatically discovers the Roku players connected to your WiFi network and can control them just like the physical remote that came with the box. It also adds functionality like keyboard support (e.g. for video searches by name) and a channel launchpad.

There is no configuration needed, as long as your iOS device is WiFi-connected to the same network your Roku player is on. Notable exception are some (e.g. Qwest/Actiontec) routers, which do not support the auto-discovery protocol – for those the player will have to be added manually by tapping on “Other” in Settings.

COMPATIBILITY: Remote4Roku works with all “Roku” digital video players. This includes
Roku1, Roku2, Roku3, Roku Streaming Stick (HDMI or “Roku-ready” MHL variety), RokuTV, as well as the previous generations (LT, HD, XD, XS, XDS, DVP, SD, HD-XR, NTV250).

YouTube and Hulu+ do not respond to the iOS keyboard commands – this is an unfortunate limitation of the channels; to type, use the on-screen keyboard instead. Most games work well with “Remote for Roku” app but there are a few (like “Angry Birds”) which cannot be controlled remotely with any app, since they are locked to require an “enhanced game remote” hardware. TV sound volume cannot be controlled with the app.
