I’ve been using the Eltima TV Remote App on my iPhone for about two months now, mostly to control my TCL Roku TV, and while it's been pretty solid overall, I can't help but feel like it's missing a few features that would take it to the next level. For example, there’s no option to add custom shortcuts for frequently used apps like Netflix or YouTube. It’s just a bit clunky when I’m trying to switch between apps quickly. Anyone else feel the same or got ideas for what could be improved?

I use the app daily with my Hisense Roku TV and while I appreciate the simple interface, it does feel like there’s untapped potential. Personally, I’d love to see voice control integrated — not Siri, but something native in the app that lets me just say “open Netflix” or “volume down” without fumbling with buttons. Also, why not add a way to create app groups or scene shortcuts? Like, “Movie Night” could dim the lights (if connected), open Netflix, and set the volume. Right now, everything’s a few extra taps. I also wish the remote layout was customizable. The current layout is okay, but I never use the directional pad much — would rather have big buttons for my top apps. Here’s the app I’m talking about, for those who don’t know it yet: use a Roku iPhone remote. It’s got potential, but a bit more user-centric customization would make a big difference.
