Fast device - more responsive than FireTV
on January 20, 2023
Posted by: Daniel B
from NJ
No hanging UI. Every app loads faster. Switching between apps is faster. No crashes or reboots needed so far. Fire TV seemed to need them every week or 2. FireTV devices were current models, just about a year old.
Setup of Roku was very easy, standard process. Using the mobile remote app as a keyboard made it easier. Also using the remote app for audio out to headphones is a really cool feature. Best surprise with setup was when setting up 2 devices, on the 2nd device about 5 of our app/services the configs auto-populated and were ready to go as soon as we were online.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Two Issues
on January 2, 2023
Posted by: PETE71
from Indiana
1. I must push the power button two or three times for the unit to start up. Once started, all button functions are properly responsive. 2. Audio and Video often are not synced. Audio has a slight delay and it is annoying. I have other ROKU stick devices that do not exhibit this issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from roku.comBy Rebecca, Roku Customer Advocate, January 18, 2023
Hi there, thanks for reaching out. The remote behavior you described can sometimes occur if the batteries in your remote are running low. Try exchanging them for a fresh set to see if this helps.
If that’s not the cause, try going through the TV setup screen again. But try skipping the first option that works—there are often multiple settings for each brand of TV and a different setting might work better for you.
Regarding the audio sync, if you're using an AVR and seeing this issue, consult your user guide for resolving. This may be known as "audio sync" or "lip-sync," depending on the manufacturer. If you're not using an AVR, please reach out to us at support.roku.com/contactus so that our team can help investigate.
We hope this helps!

Video freezes, audio continues DON’T BUY
on December 1, 2022
Posted by: Lizz
from Northern california
Bought this 10/14. After a 10/25 Roku update, streaming video began to freeze while the audio continued. There is, apparently, no fix for this…although hundreds of users have reported it over the past 6 weeks. Don’t buy it. Roku no longer stands behind its products.

Worst Roku I’ve ever owned
on September 18, 2022
Posted by: devonsvoice
from Idaho
My two Roku 3810s (the previous Streaming Stick Plus model to this new one) both worked great for years. When one of them died the other day, I bought this one. What an utter piece of junk! Constantly drops wifi even though everything is in the same place it’s always been, constant a/v errors (older TV, so I’m hoping that setting it to 1080p solves this), jumps all over the place when trying to rewind or forward on YouTube TV, and when I turn it on it sometimes shows my screensaver like my 3810 did, and sometimes just sits on a black screen until I hit the home button. Don’t even try to talk to customer service, because they are completely clueless. Time to try some other brands. Super disappointing, because I’ve been using Roku devices since version 2.

Constantly have to unplug to reset it. You get what you pay for.

Love Roku, easy setup and usage, well priced

I own many models of roku. Compared to other streamers I enjoy Roku the most. As i mention in the headline its easy to setup and to use, and simple for my 90yo parents to learn use and enjoy. Amazon streamer is highly glitchy and very slow, but not Roku.
I would recommend this to a friend!
