    • Brand response from Roku Team
      Posted .

      Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience. It's a bit unusual to have to change your batteries so frequently under normal usage and we have a few tips that may help. It may help to utilize a different power source. For example, if your Roku player is currently powered by the USB port on your TV, we would recommend that you connect the USB cable directly to a wall outlet or power strip. We also recommend power cycling your player regularly and invite you to contact our team if this continues at support.roku.com/contactus so that we can assist you directly. Happy Streaming! Bernie, Roku Customer Advocate roku

    Functions very good and snappy. Only issue was the request for credit card info. But besides that an excellent product.

    Basically a good product but it is hard to work around the Roku platform. Apple TV is much friendlier but pricier.

    Not all it’s cracked up to be. Can’t get much local. Some things cost money. Actually for $50 it is pretty much useless.

    I like it and have others. However, the remote could be larger with the control buttons spaced further apart and easier to operate.

    Bought this mainly so I could watch a free trial of AppleTV+ and it works fine for that. And I wanted the stick version so I didn't have another piece of equipment cluttering the area in front of the TV. However, the stick does not stay secure in the USB slot and I have to constantly adjust it and sometimes re-install the Roku system. Luckily it is a 3 month trial for the streaming service and will toss the Roku after that. I do have another Roku system with the box in the bedroom and it works fine. I just don't recommend the stick version.

    Directions for setup by novices are very poorly written. Also decided not to use it based on how it works. I will not be paying subscription prices for multiple sites.

    I recommend a different unit for a high TV as the stick gets warm and shuts down. The other units do not.

    The service is fine to make an older TV a smart TV, but my rating is lower due to the minimal abilities of the remote.

    I like the stick but for some reason it keeps freezing and I either have to reboot it or unplug it, that’s annoying.. other than that I have no complaints

    We have roku devices on all our TV's and this rechargeable remote is a fantastic addition to our main tv setup. I will probably add more late to save batteries but very pleased so far. It easily holds its charge for weeks at our house. Great product. Highly Recommend
