MY Pastor and her husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year and I had been without TV in my apartment for six months, So I told them I would like the "ROKU Express 4K+"😁and I have not stopped watching it except to sleep.
I have purchased Roku streaming devices for years and with each new iteration of Roku the function just gets better and better. I now have two wireless units that perform flawlessly and exceed my expectations.
Remote is the worst I've ever seen the app itself stops working buttons don't work you have to turn everything off by removing the batteries and then putting them back in turning it off and then it'll work again but the worst thing is the remote the side buttons are horrible
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It takes a long time to get going and connected and watching. There are SO many steps to get to the channel or show you want. The remote must be aimed exactly right or it will not respond. I like that there are many volume levels.
I like everything about the Roku except the remote. I like the voice and the fact that they have rechargeable batteries in some versions. What I would like to see a simpler version with only the necessary buttons. You could make the buttons bigger and maybe back light them and make their placement more logical - I wouldn't hurt if the remote was larger - easier for us old folks to see and find :)
