nice movie selection- weird app. I have a Roku device & a Firestick on 2 separate tvs. I thought, subscribing to Howdy was a universal subscription. It's not. I have to pay 2.99 to watch it on the Firestick, despite being subscribed to it through my Roku device. I feel that a subscription should be accessible on any device. Howdy must be casted on my Firestick. I think that's silly. Don't know if I'm going to keep it but I've paid for a month. But what I'm not going to do is pay twice

Finally, we have a Howdy app! I subscribe to Howdy because I love movies. It leans toward older movies and shows, but also has a decent selection of relatively recent stuff too (ie, 5 to 10 years old.) But I love being able to watch some of the older (and sometimes obscure) stuff I haven't seen in years, or even at all. And you can't go wrong for the price. It's cheaper per month than the popcorn you'll eat while watching it, and there's not many subscription services that can say that.

Hi Richard, thanks so much for sharing! We’re glad you’re enjoying the mix of classics and newer titles, and finding some hidden gems. And the popcorn comparison is spot on 😄. Appreciate you being a Howdy subscriber and Happy Streaming!

I couldn't get it to cast and I could not get it to work through my Roku device on my bedroom TV. I immediately canceled the subscription after 30 minutes of troubleshooting. An app would make this a more user-friendly experience. Until then, it wasn't worth the 2.99 and tax I paid for 1 month to only be able to watch on my phone. Thank you but no thank you.

Hi Samantha, we appreciate your thoughts. Casting is indeed a valued feature, and while it's not available in the Roku Howdy mobile app right now, our team is actively working on adding this capability. We look forward to enhancing your experience and hope to see you back on the app soon. Happy Streaming!
