Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play
How to set it up
- Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi as your Roku, and turn it on.
- Open EveryRemote and tap your Roku in the list.
- Newer Roku software ignores phone apps until you change one setting. On your Roku remote, press Home, then go to Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Control by mobile apps.
- Open Network access and choose Permissive. (On some versions the choices are Limited, Enabled and Permissive: choose Permissive.) EveryRemote walks you through this when it's needed.
Good to know
- On a Roku TV, turn on Settings > System > Power > Fast TV Start so the phone can turn the TV on.
- Streaming sticks can only turn the TV on and off if the TV supports HDMI-CEC.
Questions people ask
Why does my Roku ignore the remote app?
Roku software from late 2024 blocks button presses from phone apps until you change Control by mobile apps to Permissive. The steps are above.
Does it work with Roku TVs from TCL, Hisense and onn.?
Yes. Any TV with Roku built in works the same way as a Roku streaming stick.
Can I type on my Roku from my phone?
Yes. Type in EveryRemote and the letters go to the Roku's search box.
