A Free Roku Remote App for iPhone
TV Remote is coming soon for iPhone. Email us for a launch notification. This guide previews how to use the app when it is available.
Roku is the easiest platform to control from a phone. Roku TVs and Roku streaming players accept commands from apps on the same Wi-Fi with no code and no prompt.
TV Remote finds your Roku, connects straight away and gives you a full remote, including the keyboard.
What works on Roku
Roku gets one of the fullest remotes in the app:
- D-pad, OK, Back, Home and the playback keys
- Typing from your iPhone keyboard, and voice search that goes straight to Roku search
- Your installed channels and apps in one grid
- Volume, and on Roku TVs, channel up/down and input switching
- Find remote: makes your Roku remote play a sound so you can track it down
If the app can’t control your Roku
Roku has a setting that blocks phone apps. On the Roku, open Settings › System › Advanced system settings › Control by mobile apps, and set Network access to Default. Then reconnect from the app.
