Overview
Roki Remote for Roku turns your iPhone or iPad into a full-featured virtual remote for Roku Streaming Players and Roku TV. The app enables quick connection to your streaming device and provides the common playback and navigation tools you expect from a physical remote.
Main features
- Quick text entry using your iOS keyboard for faster searches on services like Netflix and Hulu
- A responsive touchpad for smooth cursor movement and channel browsing
- Standard media controls such as play/pause, fast forward, rewind, and volume adjustment
- Automatic scanning of your Wi‑Fi network to locate and pair with your Roku device
- Designed for both iPhone and iPad to give a consistent experience across Apple devices
How it connects and works
Roki scans your local network and finds available Roku devices automatically, so there’s no need for manual IP entry or complex setup steps. Once paired, the virtual remote presents play/pause, skip, rewind and volume controls, while the touchpad and keyboard speed up navigation and text input when entering search terms or account info.
Who it’s for
If you prefer using your phone or tablet instead of a physical remote — for faster typing or a more intuitive touch interface — Roki is a convenient option for movie watching, music playback, and casual gaming on Roku devices.
