For real-world use, this app proves valuable in scenarios like quickly silencing an ad, navigating to a different app while the physical remote is across the room, or powering the TV on and off. The interface is generally simple, mimicking the layout of a standard remote. However, some user reviews indicate the connection process can occasionally be finicky, requiring a stable network and sometimes a restart of the app or Roku device. The free version is supported by ads, which some find intrusive, but the core functionality remains accessible without payment. It does not offer advanced features like voice search or private listening, but for basic navigation and control, it serves as a reliable stopgap.
