Re: The new layout is disappointing. Bring back Swipe
This is the new layout they’re referring to. The “volume up/down” and the “+/-“ handlebar controls appeared with the newest app version, and the option for “swipe controls” is no longer available. This is really aggravating because swipe controls have been around for a long time, and they make it easy to navigate without looking down at my phone.

Re: The new layout is disappointing. Bring back Swipe
If you click on that little gear icon (controls) next to the keyboard in the upper left, are you not presented the options for "traditional" and "swipe" under Remote Type ?
I am not seeing the handlebar volume change to my app for Android 13 though. (app ver. 11.1.0.4045211).

Nope. The option is gone now. I’m running 11.3.0 on iOS.

Thanks for providing the screenshots. That should allow @RokuRiamie-D the info needed to forward to the Roku team to address.

Roku Mobile App Swipe Layout
I understand there is a new layout and the swipe option for the remote is supposed to have gone away. I'm disappointed, but that's fine. What's a little less fine is that on my app, it's not gone away. It's just stopped working. And, because it is supposed to have gone away, the option to change my layout to buttons is gone as well. What's up with that? Do I need to reinstall the whole app to get a remote that works now? Is this an Android vs iPhone thing?

Re: Roku Mobile app new layout
Agreed! Please bring back the swipe remote! This traditional remote drives me crazy. And now being forced to use it…not a fan. Give us the option please.
