What reviewers said
Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.
Trial converts to a charge
This has nothing to do with Roku and it is a complete scam — This is not a Roku remote and if you get the free trial it will auto renew and constantly try to take money from you even if you delete the app. It’s a scam that markets itself…
DOWNLOAD THE ROKU REMOTE(official) with the white background. It’s Free you will love it. — I have no clue who in there right mind would spend $100 just for a remote control. When I downloaded it was working fine then of course comes the…
Cancelation — I’m 16 and I haven’t been able to find a remote so I was looking for apps to use and found this one. I decided why not and subscribed to the free trial and used it but during the time I used it everything single time i would…
Misleading advertising
Predatory App-Bait and Switch — I just selected the “3 day free trial” for this app, and was immediately charged $12.86. That’s the very definition of bait and switch. And the charge is fraud. This is a predatory app
BS false advertising — It told me I’d be able to use it without internet, but when I went to use it without internet, it didn’t work.
What a scam — This is advertised as not needing WiFi but it does require you to connect to the WiFi and also there is no free version except for the free trial which only lasts 3 days apart from that you can’t use the app at all. There is…
Paywall blocks the basics
Lame — Cant do anything without paying 😭??
You have to pay to use everything — Seriously, you can’t even use the power button 😭💔 total scam
you have to pay for everything — this app is so stupid you cant do anything without having a subscription anything you click on take you to buy premium
Paywall with no way past it
Won’t let me freely use it — This shi is so bunz I literally can’t use it without money bro
Dumb — Can’t use any of the remote without paying.
Does not work — I don’t know how this has that much reviews. You can’t use the remote without a subscription
What this app sells
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.
Show 3 more purchases we couldn’t categorise
These are really on sale; we just can’t tell from the name whether they recur.
How a review signal works
A review signal is produced automatically from public app reviews by a classifier — never by a hands-on Appworthy test, and never by a human analyst. It exists so a real, not-yet-audited app can carry more than a blank “Not yet tested” listing, without ever being mistaken for an assessment.
A theme only appears above once at least 5 distinct reviews corroborate it — one angry review can never tag an app. These thresholds are published settings and may be tuned as coverage grows.
It carries no confirmed findings — reviews are one kind of evidence, and nothing here has been hands-on tested. The moment Appworthy publishes a full assessment of this app, it replaces this signal, permanently.
A human review replaces this review-derived signal with hands-on, recorded measurements.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
