Roku app feedback
The Roku TV "power button menu" needs an option. "Connect to app". Movie night saved. Let me explain; I can't be the only person to have a lost remote and downloaded the Roku App thinking, "this will help until my new remote ships, I find mine, or I happen upon one in a store". If you have had this idea, it is quickly dashed when you realize that the app can't actually connect to the TV without a remote to set that up. I've learned to plan ahead now, setting this up in anticipation of a lost remote. Still, I shouldn't have to. I should be able to push the button on the TV and have an option of connecting to the app or making the TV discoverable from that power button menu. I know the Roku TV UI people and the Roku App people are probably not the same groups within the company, but how about having them work together and make it happen? No telling what other cross-department/team ideas are waiting on such a collaboration to discover. Alternatively, maybe just let the app search whatever wifi it's on for other roku devices also on that wifi for those who have the sticks rather than the whole Roku TV. There has to be a way to make that app connect without a remote. I'm convinced this problem is both common enough that plenty of people have had it, and solvable easily enough that nobody ever should.
Better trivia questions
In my many weeks of playing trivia I’ve noticed all the questions are “what actor played this” or “who said this” and honestly I’m not sure if anybody knows the answers to those questions. I think half the people who play trivia just guess on most questions anyway sooo it would be better and more fun if there were questions more people knew. Personally there should be questions about trending shows like Outer Banks, or Suits, etc. Idk. it could be just me but this is what I think :)Roku simple remote feedback
I moved Mom's TV subscription to Sling so everything is on Roku—for me, the remote is so simple I can use it in the dark. My poor mom is confused by it and has trouble with small buttons. I found EZclicker in Amazon. Looks like a good solution, but it is only for Roku TVs. 😕 PLEASE, Roku, make something for (cognitively-impacted) seniors OR fix your licensing so that 3rd party companies can make remotes for your devices.
Remotely controlling grandparents' TV
I was wondering if the Roku app would work to change TV shows/movies on streaming services (like Netflix) remotely from another house, if already connected to the intended TV? My grandad has been having difficulty changing channels himself, and we thought that the Roku app may be an option. I appreciate any information that you have!
