I totally get what you mean! I had the same problem a while back—the Roku Remote app on Mac was super unreliable for me, freezing all the time and sometimes not even detecting my Roku at all. After some digging, I found a helpful guide on how to fix common Roku Remote app issues on Mac here. It covers everything from checking your network connection to reinstalling the app properly, which helped me get it working again. However, if you’re still looking for alternatives, I’d recommend trying apps like “Unified Remote” or “CetusPlay.” Both support Mac and can control Roku devices smoothly. Unified Remote offers customizable buttons and even keyboard input, which is handy for typing search queries on Roku. CetusPlay has a nice clean interface and works well even on older Mac versions. The key is to ensure your Mac and Roku are on the same Wi-Fi network and the firewall isn’t blocking the connection. Also, some of these apps have free versions with basic features, so you can test before committing. Have you tried any other apps so far, or stuck with the official Roku one only?
