Original ROKU at less than half the price has a built in free media app to play movies or view photos from the USB port

Downloaded my family's favorite TV apps

Not to mention all my apps in in one spot and it works excellent with my echo dot or any Alexa device

The apps work well and I like that it can be hooked directly to my router for stronger bandwidth

The native apps on the TV are all horrible when trying to watch 4K

Add all the apps you like, thousands to choose from

It makes your TV much smarter than the smart apps that come pre-installed

Watch thousands of movies free with the free apps

The video quality is noticeably better than our previous setup (using smart TV apps), and the remote "just worked" out of the box for good measure

The Roku Channel is a great free channel (app) that has hundreds of free shows and movies

With the Roku, you lay out your apps the way you want, and that’s the way they’ll be every time

For cord cutters I cannot recommend Pluto TV app enough (again free so don't be scammed and pay for something that is free).

Can’t get popular apps in like tubi Pluto

The app would solve the search and watchlist issues, but Roku doesn't allow it -- even though it is available on Fire, Apple, and Android

Tivo Stream 4K is really good and has HBO MAX and Peackock, plus Tivo app is amazing for aggregating all streaming apps in one.

But it looks like I’m headed back to smart tv apps again

After a period you can't use apps like Hulu without buying a newer one.

From the smart phone app one can activate the "find remote" ping so the remote pings with a sound to locate it

Love all the wonderful apps some are free and others you have to pay a small amount of money but

but Spectrum doesn't support their app on it, so I just got this one

The UI on Hulu and other apps like Netflix, etc... is crowded and not intuitive because the Roku remote is limited in functionality.

Many apps available

However I like using the Roku app on my smartphone for private listening since I can then connect a Bluetooth headset to my smart phone to listen

Especially when apps stopped supporting older tv software versions

Had I known that Roku would restrict the apps that you can add over demands from the app makers for money, I would never have bought this

The headphones sound like symphony hall, the mute button on the remote is a nice addition to last year's model, and the two numbered buttons let you store two voice commands like "Launch Youtube" for instant access to your two favorite apps that might not be included on the four pre-programmed instant access buttons.

The Firestick 4K had bugs authorizing half its apps and Disney+ never worked at all.

The ONLY draw that Roku had was supporting ALL the apps i use slightly better than the built-in apps of my TV

There are a variety of Free apps although most require a subscription

fast - apps (channels) load WAY faster than fire stick, menus load faster, and streams load faster.

It's not difficult to use, it has a lot of User Options so you can have as much control of how it works as you want

I have never lost a

The remote works as a TV remote (power & volume as well as for navigating the Roku home menu and apps
