Changing my review to say the app works much better now. Went from not working at all to working consistently. only took them a long while lol. Im very thankful for it (when it's working properly) because evidently my household can keep track of a single remote. I can't even find the remote I just bought. It's still in the box🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️. So I, and other family members can use the app as a remote when needed! Thank you roku😘

the TV and movie experience isn't bad, lots of ads. as far as their new Howdy goes, paying the 2.99 gets those ads removed, but don't think its completely ad free as howdy advertised. movie & TV shows still have plenty of Roku's ads. all ads for roku based programming. if you want to run roku ads at the beginning or the end that's fine. but once the show or movie starts it should be 100% ad free as described. in a 90 min movie there were 5 to 6 roku ads. that is NOT ad free!!!

useless at worst, unoptimal at best. I tried connecting to my TV and it didn't show up. Then Itried to do it manually by IP address—nothing. It took 20-30 minutes of restarting my phone and my TV, unpliggimg my router, reconnecting everything, then searching for devices again. eventually it worked for a while, but had a couple seconds of latency for every input. then it disconnected and I couldn't find my device again. I spent more time trying to use the app than actually using it.

Issues watching on your mobile device. Will go through part of a show and after the commercial break will start from the beginning. If you try to fast forward to resume where you left off, you have to go through the commercials again and it still takes you right back to the beginning. Have tried restarting/reinstalling the app but the same thing happens.

It's SO close to 5-stars & also just 1-star. There is a fatal flaw. I have a credit card on file for subscriptions. One day when the card expired, the app reminded me to update my payment method. I did so within a short period of time - there were no charges pending & no "active" subscriptions. But from that time in May-2025 until now I continue to get that same app notification. I've rechecked the method, cleared the cache, uninstalled it for a few months etc. Nothing works. Like, Dudes!!

I love Roku-have for years now. I remember when they had numbered channels. Alot of throwbacks/classics I used to love mixed with new or recent things. Love how they have channels dedicated specifically to one single show and movie channels. Last but certainly not least, you can't beat the fact that it's FREE(the service/app and free live TV). REALLY hope the introduction of Howdy doesn't cause things to change where it's not available for free anymore (although Howdy is only $2.99).
