    Works fine but the process of returning to previous choices is tedious.

    Its pretty awsome for watching movies, however, they do lose connection alot, it is nearly impossible to miracast to them from a pc, so the quality of the product does not equal to its value.

    It was nice having a bunch of apps I could use but it was very annoying having to login to each individually especially when the keyboard is on screen and you have to use the up, down and left, right keys to get around.

    it works fine, but the unit seems to get hot over time the batteries seem to drain out of the remote if you charge by USB.

    I guess this would be good for waiting rooms but with no volume control its not worth the trouble. Roku is a great product! just this one, no!

    It works better than the phone app. Sometimes it doesn't respond and we have to reset. May not be compatible with older ROKU devices.

    I needed a product that would Supply basic channels as well as streaming apps on a tv not connected to cable. I got half of what I wanted. It allows for some basic channels but not all.

    I was excited to get this roku streamer. However, it doesn't work well for me. On a daily basis, I have issues connecting to the WiFi when no other device in my home have an issue.

    Great! Just what I needed at the price I needed. Especially since I needed two, one for each bedroom. He can set his up for sports, highlights chanels with old movies and TV. Other models offered longer Wi-Fi range, but this one works just fine.

    Wish I would have just gotten a Apple Tv -- this thing works okay, but apple tv app always logs out and you have to restart for the app to work -- very annoying. Also, this remote will not turn on/off tv or adjust volume, so you need to get the upgraded remote if you only what one remote.

      Posted .

      Hi, Riley. Thanks for sharing your input! We understand how you feel, and we're here to help. Please check the latest version of the app to ensure it's up to date. You may also try to remove, restart, and reinstall the app. Also, some devices have a Simple Remote that doesn’t have TV controls (Power and Volume), so you'll need your TV remote for those functions. The only new Roku devices available are the HD Roku Express and non-plus(+) models that typically come with a Simple Remote. We recommend the Roku Voice Remote to control your TV's power and volume with the Roku remote. For a comparison of remote features, please visit https://www.roku.com/products/accessories/compare. If you have further questions or need assistance, contact us at https://support.roku.com/contactus. Happy Streaming! Bernie, Roku Customer Advocate roku

    It works fine. Only problem is, I hate that you have to scroll through the arrow key pad rather than have the option to enter numbers when changing channels. It needs a key board.

    It was not that easy to setup. Then the services offered were just OK but most of the shows you still have to pay for. It is not that it is a bad unit I just would rather have my Chromecast

    it struggles on YouTube live videos & casting from phone is a bit of a hassle, other than that its perfect for a Non-Smart tv.
