The Roku App (Official) Pros

✓ Amazing and easy to useI had Now Tv but it didn’t have the apps available that the Roku Box does. It only took a few minutes to set it up and easy to use everything. Also the app work’s well like everything else..BuddyismyDogVersion: 4.2.16

✓ Jumping back to home screenI’ve four Roku sticks that have all worked fine until now but they are jumping back to the home screen all simultaneously in one day roku are blaming my internet which it isn’t I’ve restarted and reconnected and low and behold still the same thing customer service is a waste of time as they don’t listen to the fact it was caused by an update if I have to renew all four I won’t be buying roku sticks or anything roku again!.CraftycreationsVersion: 6.0.13

The Roku App (Official) Cons

✗ TemporaryWhen I first got my Roku I used the app a lot to download new channels and pause the tv when my kids were watching and ignoring me. I really liked it. Today I’ve gone to use it to search for a channel after not using the app for a while and suddenly my device is no longer listed. When I search for the device it tells me it isn’t connected to the same network (it is), I’ve tried doing the manual option and it tells me the same thing. I’ve also done all the troubleshooting options to no avail. So now the app is redundant for me..Kyrbo1986Version: 7.2.0

✗ The biggest waste of timeThis app is the biggest waste of time. It’s supposed to make it easy to control your tv when you can’t find your remote, but by the time you actually get the app to connect, you would have already found your remote. Disconnects non stop, won’t reconnect and most of the time simply doesn’t work..Aljh11Version: 8.6.1

- Updated translations. - Fixed an error updating the Continue Watching row. - Fixed an intermittent Channel Store access error. - Minor bug fixes and performance improvements..
