About Remote Gear for Roku
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!

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.

It is great but alot of times when I go to use it I get a connection error. So I have to get my phone to get it to work again, so why would I need it on my watch if I have to get my phone all the time?

Works, but no power button for TVs. Otherwise would be a 5 star.

It's a great idea, but it is executed poorly. It is completely reliant on the phone app. If I close the phone app, it stops working. If I do anything else on my phone, it stops working. It won't work unless I fist open the phone app. If I get to far away from my phone, it stops working. Essentially, the watch app just controls the phone app to control the Roku. Honestly, you might as well just use your phone since you're going to need it to do anything with the watch app.
