    Speed

    Rated 2 out of 5 stars

    Slow, but it worked.

    I thought this would be a great addition to my living room TV but unfortunately after only 1 day of use I decided to go Apple TV instead. It does what it says but it is terribly slow compared to the Roku 2 and Apple TV. Spend the extra money on the Roku 2 or Apple TV (if you have iOS devices), it's worth the speed.

    Roku is a good product but it was not compatible with the app I was looking for so I had to return it.

    The Roku streaming worked just fine except for the remote which took a dump. Exchanged at Best Buy with zero problems.

    Not worth it, poor shipping time

    While I was waiting for the Streaming Stick to become available, I bought a Roku 3. At $99, it is twice as expensive as the Stick, but works very well. I bought the Stick online on 3/30. It shipped on 3/31 but did not arrive till 4/8! UPS shipped it to SLC on 4/2, and it took the post office 6 days to deliver it. The Stick was easy to setup, although it took two tries to connect to my wifi. Since I already had a Roku account, the rest of the setup was easy but SLOW. I started up a TED.com video, and it immediately started to buffer/reload after just a minute of playback. The Roku 3 does not do that. I decided then to return it and keep the Roku 3. There is no sense in having a device that under-performs. A hint for those of you using the included remote: download the iOS app as it has more functionality and a keyboard.

    It bent when I inserted it in the back of my TV and when I contacted the company online they informed me to take a photo of it and email it the email address, which I did. That was a month ago and nothing , no reply very disrespectful Company, I emailed them 3 times by the way.

    We had to send the first one back, because remote did not work after about 5 hours. Got the second one and the same thing happened. I would not recommend this stick at all.

    At first I liked it. It replaced my Apple TV. The picture is OK. definitely not as good as the Apple TV. The remote ate through half a pack of AAA batteries in less than a month. I'm getting something different.
