Reviews around price (4.48 of 5)

  • If all you want is standard Roku functionality for a great price, then by all means purchase this

  • The price was unbelievable good for what you get, just wish there was a more polished model available with better remote.
  • Roku Express works well, good price and gets my Subscriptions up in my TV fast

  • This product was great at first but could stand to use a little improvement
  • It is a very great product and has little to no problems during streaming
  • Is this product so useless that I have to buy a new one every year

  • I would never purchased it if I knew there was a one time fee to activate it, looked like false advertising when I question
  • I don't like the smaller remote (also have a Roku 3 from 7 years ago) as it's easier to lose and there is no headphone

Reviews around picture (4.13 of 5)

  • I missed several plays due to buffering, and probably over 90% of the time, the picture was grainy.
  • We switch to another input device and the picture is fine
  • Fantastic streamer and low price; works great, super picture and sound!
  • It is about about the size of a pack of gum and delivers a great picture
  • Good HD picture & works good on low speed internet also.

Reviews around tv (4.10 of 5)

  • Other than that it works perfectly and turns my tv into a smart tv
  • I love being able to use my hip and Netflix accounts in my room with out having to pay for a costly smart tv
  • , so it's absolutely a good choice to fix a not-smart-any-more TV.
  • And I don't like my phone and my tv on the needing to be on the same Wi-Fi.
  • Use it everyday instead of the stupid "smart" LG featured TV.

Reviews around device (4.08 of 5)

  • No other device, computer or cell phone has trouble with my internet
  • A good streaming device but not as feature rich as another device out there.
  • I have a faulty device, but really frustrating regardless.
  • The other issue I have with it is the small device needs to be level with the remote or the signal is not as strong
  • Over all, really like it, but looking back, if Roku has a unit that also offers a remote control and a lost beeping sound device, I might purchase something like that

Reviews around app (3.94 of 5)

  • I have a smart tv, but not all the apps were available for it.

  • Some apps are slow then others are just like watching cable
  • The Roku smart phone app is excellent and negates the need for the IR remote
  • Absolutely no issues, has many great apps and was very simple to install, literally power plug and an

Reviews around star (2.94 of 5)

  • So ding one star,even though when I downloaded the comparison chart from Roku, it was obvious
  • It gets two stars instead of one because it actually works.
  • This one is much better but not as fast as when I'm watching cable
  • It will miss one star for taking out this useful feature.

Reviews around connection (2.18 of 5)

  • for use in a secondary location as more features and processing power as well as stronger wifi are available for very little more money with the Roku Stick and wired as well as wireless connection with the Ultra.
  • but it continues to lose its connection to the internet.
  • The phone/tablet remote app worked OK in place of the actual remote, but it's slow and frequently lost connection
  • It hasn't happened again since and the connection seems great
  • In five different hotel rooms, I was only able to get a successful connection and stream in one

Reviews around bite (1.61 of 5)

  • Initial set-up, connection to wi-fi, and logging in to your various streaming services is a bit tedious with the basic remote, but once it's set up it remembers the settings & passwords even through re-boots and power cycles.
  • Easy to use, lags a little bit but not terribly long to where it interferes with anything
  • This can be a bit annoying but not enough to mark the product down.
  • Works great, but a bit tough to get set up.
  • They could engineer the remote a bit better but not to worry, the phone app is excellent!
