Your right you can’t because Apple isn’t in the business of creating interfaces for other people’s hardware... Apple’s Remote app is intended to control Apple Hardware, where Roku’s iOS app is intended to control ROKU HARDWARE...You can’t use the Apple remote app to control the AppleTV app. It sees it but does nothing.
Yes you can use the roku app but my point is the Apple app is a 1/2 arsed implementation and not what Apple or Roku was promising this past spring.
I had the same issue. Turned out my FireTV Stick needed a software upgrade (hidden under the Settings/My Fire TV/About). Needed multiple downloads to get current. Sign on worked after upgrades.Has anyone been able to successfully login to the app on a Fire stick today? I've tried both the mobile option ("verification failed try again in a few minutes") and entering the password manually, which just results in an endless "logging in" screen. Rebooted Fire, same thing. Was able to go login to a Roku Apple TV app fine just after this, so it seems to be Fire specific (and not a password typo). Hoping I'm not the only one so it'll get fixed faster lol.
Your Apple ID is probably the most valuable digital user identity account out there - it holds EVERYTHING (your Mac, your iPhone, iCloud, film & music purchases, software purchases) and you are willing to share your password and details to a cheap, horribly made Amazon or Roku or Samsung product that's constantly connected to the Internet with zero or very few security updates. Are you crazy?
What a terrible idea.
Let's see how long before these devices are hacked!
This is a tragic mistake. Why put your ecosystem on competitors’ inferior products... it’s the same mistake then Apple CEO Skulley made.
Strategically, it makes far more sense to allow top-in-class products like Apple Watch work with an Android phone than to put Apple software on inferior hardware.
Also, Apple is missing the opportunity to seize the markets by not having its own TV at a much higher price point. And utilize AppleTV to capture those who want to use Samsung TVs and etc.Whatever happened to Steve’s epiphany about TVs and the experience?
I don’t understand taking a company that’s all about innovation and forgetting how to innovate. They cannot figure out how to differentiate anything right now. Just riding on Steve, Jon, and Scott’s hard work, Tim needs to go...
He’s a good person, but a terrible CEO for Apple at this point in time. The executive team has let all the talent go so they can reap as much stock as they can using the same old hardware. The software is starting to suck as bad as old Microsoft software - the new Microsoft is doing great.
I want to see some new innovators come out and lead the company to new heights. Make Apple Great Again.

Will this app appear on older Samsung TVs? I have a (high end) Samsung and it's about 3 years old.
nah. just recent ones like 2018
As someone that has had multiple Apple TV’s in the past, I wouldnt recommend getting one at this point. Unless you’re planning on playing a few games on your tv or something, just get a fire stick. I have one in the bedroom and it’s every bit as good as my Apple TV’s were And shockingly, Alexa is more useful than Siri

Per this article, it appears it does. And for about a fourth the priceI don't now if the AppleTV libraries on a FireTV Stick will support Atmos or not as of yet (it does it differently than some with PCM + Matte layer Atmos or something like that). I do know that both AppleTV movies from iTunes and Netflix give me Atmos in my home theater even without a 4K projector (plus I got it for free for trying out DirecTV Now for 3 months; you can't beat free...)
I don’t agree in regards to Fire TV or Fire Tick being inferior. I have all 3 devices and a 4K Roku and I consistent reach for the Fire remotes. They're faster And have a better interface (in my opinion) and the remotes are much better than the Apple TV remote. That thing is terrible.This is a tragic mistake.

Personally I don’t mind about buying stuff through the app. Like the other night when I bought John wick 3 I just pulled out my phone, bought it with Face ID and it appeared in my what’s next on my fire stick. Super easy and it means I don’t have to give amazon my Apple passwordI don’t agree in regards to Fire TV or Fire Tick being inferior.

I also find it hilarious that you can't buy anything through the Apple TV app. Looks like Apple feels the same way about paying a percentage of in app purchases to others. It's effin side splittingly hilarious 🤣
Yeah I agree but what I find hilarious is that so many posters here bashed Netflix and Spotify for the same exact thing. Made it sound like it was such a bad user experience and how they were going to quit those apps and eff them etc...🤗Personally I don’t mind about buying stuff through the app. Like the other night when I bought John wick 3 I just pulled out my phone, bought it with Face ID and it appeared in my what’s next on my fire stick.
