Quick Start:
At Google Home or Google Assistant:

• It will ask you to link your Google Home/Assistant to Quick Remote account:
-- When using Google Home or Google Home Mini, look for the Quick Remote link card to popup in the Google Home app
-- You can find Quick Remote in the Google Home app's left menu > Explore > Search for 'Quick Remote' > Link

Easy to install, works fine. I had a bit of an issue with the subscription but support team helped me right away. You will blow through your 50 free commands really fast but the full pass is only $1.29. Worth it.
App works great when it's working. Is there a way to stop it from signing out of Google account sporadically?
I installed it for my Roku TV and Google Home. The remote works when I tap the buttons on my phone, but it will not work with Google home voice commands. I signed in on the app to my google account, but when I try to use it on Google home it asks me to link my account to google. I then click the google email account and I get a message "Unable to link your Google account to quick remote! Please try again. I tried many times on my phone and then on my computer with the help link they gave me, but I get the same message. I wanted this so I can give voice commands, but it won't let me. I only gave it 3 stars because the onscreen remote works. I do not need this because Roku has it's own onscreen app.
Great idea, but trying to control a Roku TV with your Google home via quick remote is more of a hassle than it is worth. Every time you want to press any button via voice prompts, it is a two step process then times out. If you want to then hit another button, you have to go through the two step voice commands process again. I could not get my Google home to play specific channels or videos on YouTube.
I just got the app and I log in to my Google account but I can't find my Roku tv. I try entering the IP address didn't work.
