About
The remote that came with your Roku device is under a cushion again. Your phone isn't. Hero Remote turns your iPhone into a complete remote for Roku TVs and streaming players: every navigation and playback key, a touchpad, a keyboard, and on Roku TVs the power, input and channel keys too. With Remote Pro you also get volume and mute, and you can cast your own photos, videos, music, IPTV streams and compatible web videos to the TV. It finds your Roku device on Wi-Fi by itself, or enter its IP address. No pairing. Just make sure control by mobile apps is turned on your TV/Player THE REMOTE - Navigate, play, pause, skip, rewind, search, go home or back, open Live TV - Touchpad: swipe to move, tap for OK - Keyboard: type straight into the TV's on-screen keyboard, passwords included - Channels: every channel on your device is one tap away, favorites on top CAST PHOTOS, VIDEOS AND MUSIC (REMOTE PRO) Pick photos, videos or songs on your iPhone and they play on the TV in seconds. - One item at a time, or up to 50 as a slideshow or playlist - Casting Controls appear the moment you send something: play/pause, skip, volume, restart - Photo albums show live progress, such as "Photo 3 of 12", in step with the TV - Your files stay on your devices: they stream straight from your phone to your TV over your own Wi-Fi APPLE WATCH AND HOME SCREEN WIDGET Apple Watch: navigation, playback and volume on your wrist, relayed through your iPhone. Home Screen widget: your TV's name and the keys you reach for most, without opening the app. IPTV & WEB VIDEO CASTING (REMOTE PRO) Paste your own stream URL or open your own M3U playlist and watch compatible streams on the TV. Browse the web inside the app and, when a compatible video is detected, tap CAST to send it to the TV. Nothing is downloaded or saved: the TV plays the video directly from its source website. DRM-protected services such as Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Prime Video and Spotify cannot be cast this way; use their official channels on the TV instead. Hero Remote does not provide, sell or recommend channels or playlists. You are responsible for having the right to watch what you stream. Casting uses CastHero App, our own free channel in Roku's Channel Store. Hero Remote helps you add it with two OK presses on the TV. BEFORE YOU START Open Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Control by mobile apps > Network access and choose Enabled (Default on older software). If your device reports "Limited mode", Hero Remote shows you these steps. REMOTE PRO The remote is free. Remote Pro removes ads and unlocks volume and mute and all casting features: a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. The monthly plan starts with a 3-day free trial and the yearly plan with a 7-day free trial; after the trial the subscription renews at the price shown unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial ends.
