About this app

Developer Description

Control your TV from your Samsung smartwatch!

Remote Gear lets you control your Roku from your Samsung smartwatch! It connects your Roku and smartwatch through your mobile device. It consists of two parts - the phone app and the smartwatch app. In the phone app you can select which Roku device you want to control. You can control your Roku from both apps.

To make sure the watch app works when the phone is off, please turn off battery optimization for "Samsung Accessory Service" and "Remote Gear for Roku" apps under Android Settings > Battery Optimization.

Quick Start:
* Install the Remote Gear watch app in your smartwatch using Samsung Gear app
* The watch app only works with Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch and newer models
* Install this Remote Gear phone app in your phone
* Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi network as your Roku device
* The phone app will detect the Roku devices in your network
* Select the Roku device you want to control in the devices menu
* Use the remote to control it from your phone app
* Open the remote app in your smartwatch and control your Roku from your wrist!

Upgrade to the Timeless Edition to control your Roku devices without time limits. In the free version, the phone app contains ads and the watch app offers a 5 minute trial. After the trial period you can close the watch app and start a new 5 minute trial!

I love it so far, would get 5 stars if volume functionality would be added as well as possibly a power button but otherwise great app.

$1.99 for an app this ugly and lacking so many features seems like a joke to me. Redesign the GUI and add volume control and it would be worth it. In it's current state, it looks more like a proof of concept rather than a final product.

Great idea, but the execution is lacking. In order to use, I have to first open the application on my Note 7, then open the application on my Gear S2, then on the phone connect the two. But you have to do this EVERY TIME. Not every session, but every time. Meh- it's a whole lot faster to just use Roku's phone app and be done with it.

I finally got it to work... kinda ...1 minute before the 5 minute trial was over. Honestly, I probably would have paid for the upgrade if the trial was at least 24 to 48 hours. I mean $2 is not a big deal, but when the 5 minute trial message came up ... no. 5 minutes is sketchy. That paints a clear picture that the developers do not actually care if the app will work for you. I don't have a problem paying for an app that will benefit me, but 5 minutes is offensive to me.
