How to use your iPhone as a Roku remote
Connect your iPhone to the same Wi-Fi as your Roku, open TV Remote+, and choose your Roku. There is no code to enter, and you can move and hide the buttons to make the remote yours.
Connect in a minute
- Connect your iPhone and your Roku to the same Wi-Fi.
- Open TV Remote+ and allow Local Network access.
- Choose your Roku from the list. That's it: Roku needs no pairing code.
A remote you can make your own
Move the buttons you use closer, hide the ones you don't, and type searches with your iPhone keyboard. TV Remote+ also controls Google TV and VIZIO SmartCast TVs, so one app can run every TV in the house.
When a phone can't help
A phone remote works over Wi-Fi, so your Roku must already be on your network. If it isn't, use the buttons on the TV or a working remote first. If the remote stopped pairing, reset it in five steps.
Questions
Does my iPhone need to be on the same Wi-Fi?
Yes. TV Remote+ finds your Roku on your home network. Guest Wi-Fi can stop devices from finding each other.
Can I control the volume?
On a Roku TV, yes. With a Roku streaming stick or player, it depends on your TV and its HDMI-CEC settings.
How much is it?
You pay once, with no ads and no subscription. The App Store shows today's price.
What if my Roku is not on Wi-Fi?
A phone can't reach it. Use the buttons on the TV or a working remote to connect the Roku to Wi-Fi first.
