Roku users can control their devices through a mobile app, eliminating the need for a physical remote. The solution is available at no cost to existing Roku customers.
The Roku mobile application provides full remote functionality, allowing users to navigate menus, adjust volume, and select content directly from their smartphones.
The app works across iOS and Android devices, syncing with Roku streaming players and compatible smart TVs. Users can launch the application, connect to their Roku device on the same network, and begin controlling their entertainment immediately.
This feature proves particularly useful for lost or damaged remotes, offering a practical alternative without requiring replacement hardware purchases. The mobile app mirrors standard remote capabilities, including voice search on supported devices.
Roku has integrated the remote functionality into its ecosystem as a standard feature, making it accessible to anyone with an existing Roku account and a compatible smartphone. The app can be downloaded free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
