Ratings and reviews

My experience is this. I wanted the remote but what I got was ads and a time out and connect issue. After I watch a show, I go back to use my remote and I have to Connect each time. Didn't used to be that way. I don't need a guide, just the remote! You touch "Remote" at the bottom, you touch "Connect", it sends you back to the previous page so you must touch "Remote" again to actually get the remote. What a pain! "Free" movies and TV? A block of ads every 10 minutes? I don't call that free!

Used to be a 4 star rating but had to lower it. The latest update took away one of the things I liked most about this app -the continue watching list. All I would have to do was click the show (no matter whether it was on peacock or prime video) and I could easily and quickly continue what i was watching. Now, I can only use the app as a remote since I lost mine. When I find my remote I can uninstall until I loose it again. Roku app developer, please bring back continue watching list!☹️

I loved having the ability to share media directly to my Roku TV through the app. For some reason they took that away. I then reverted to an older version and it was great again. Now I've been forced to update to the latest version. I don't think that I'll be buying another Roku TV if I can't share pictures, music & video. The other features I use are search for streaming content and using my phone for the sound. I just bought a remote with a headphone jack, do I don't NEED that feature.
