The Roku remote that works the moment you open it

Roku is the friendliest platform there is for phone remotes: no pairing, no PIN, no prompt. Remote Pro finds your Roku on the network and controls it instantly — including volume and power on Roku TVs.

What you get

Built on the Roku protocol, not a workaround

Zero pairing

Roku devices accept local control out of the box. Scan, tap, control — you’re pressing buttons within seconds of opening the app.

Roku TV volume and power

On Roku televisions (TCL, Hisense, Onn, Sharp, Westinghouse) Remote Pro controls volume, mute, power and even channels — because the TV itself is the Roku.

Keyboard search

Roku search with a D-pad is alphabet soup. Type from your iPhone keyboard straight into Roku search and sign-in fields.

Instant response

Roku’s local control API is fast and reliable — presses land immediately, over your own WiFi, no cloud round-trip.

Setup

Connecting to a Roku

  1. 1

    Put the iPhone on the same WiFi network as the Roku.

  2. 2

    Open Remote Pro and tap Scan — every Roku on the network appears.

  3. 3

    Tap yours. That’s the whole setup — Roku needs no pairing approval.

The honest part

What you should know before installing anything

Volume only works on Roku TVs, not sticks and boxes

A Roku Streaming Stick or Ultra sends its picture to a television — the volume lives in that TV, so no network command can change it (the physical remote does it over infrared/CEC). On Roku TVs, where the Roku IS the television, volume and power work perfectly. Remote Pro detects which type you have and shows the right buttons.

If the Roku refuses control: one setting

Some Rokus have “Control by mobile apps” set to disabled. On the Roku go to Settings → System → Advanced system settings → Control by mobile apps → Network access → Default. Remote Pro detects this case and shows you the exact path.

And yes — there’s an official free app

The official Roku app is free and includes a remote plus extras like private listening. It wants a Roku account for some features and is a bigger app doing many jobs. Remote Pro opens straight onto the remote and also covers Samsung, Fire TV and Android TV — one app for the whole house.
