||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very powerful device, even more powerful than the steaming stick 4k. The only downside is it requires some table or dresser space. Still very good and comes with a pro remote.

Roku Ultra
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. I reLly like the backlight feature on the remote.
I would recommend this to a friendSlick and fast
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super slick and fast interface, I would definitely buy again (I have 3 Roku)
I would recommend this to a friendI wanted to love it, but...
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It could be great, i love the simple menu, but... It limits what apps you can install. you'll find that roku dictates what apps it allows you to install, and some of the ones we like can't be loaded onto this device. So it's quite limited in that regard. The other thing was , ours was glitchy. Maybe it was our router's fault, I don't know, but we experienced a lot of unwanted freezes and exiting a show that we were watching. I don't want to blame this device if it is our router's fault, but then again it could be this device's fault. So my recommendation where glitchiness is concerned, check other reviews and see if they experienced this issue as well. If others haven't experienced it, then the issue is probably with the router, and not this streamer.

Posted .Hello! Thanks for informing us about your concern. Just a quick note, the Roku Ultra doesn't restrict app installations, but storage for channels is limited. As you add more apps, the system might offload less frequently used ones, leading to a slight delay when opening them. Also, popular streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ can be used across different U.S. states, but some content may have location-based restrictions. If you experience issues, verify if the app is available in your region or if your Roku account is linked to a U.S. location. Additionally, to resolve the other issue, try unplugging your Wi-Fi router for at least 60 seconds. Then, restart your Roku device by navigating to Home > Settings > System > System Restart. You can also try resetting your device's Wi-Fi connection through the Roku system. For guidance, refer to this link at https://support.roku.com/article/208757008#section-2.

Don't Buy Yet, Major Issues
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Major issues with the new 2024 Roku Ultra. Roku support has no answers for why it's not supporting Dolby Atmos or recognizing Dolby Vision and HDR content. No issues with previous 2022 Roku Ultra but I just bought two new 2024 ultras and both having same issues. went through multiple resets and adjustments no luck, my tv is LG OLED 65cx supports all content and my LG SN9YG soundbar supports Atmos. Very disappointed that it's not out of the box ready have seen other reddit comments with similar issues. If you have the 2022 ultra don't upgrade.
