It takes a long time for each app to load. Then once it does, when I go to watch a show, the show takes a while to load. Sometimes I get audio but no video so I have to restart the Roku and start again. Sometimes I get audio and video but it keeps buffering. On occasion it works as it's supposed to but not often enough.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Jeremy, we're sorry to hear about your troubles. Based on your description of the same issue, it sounds like there could be an issue with the strength of your wireless connection. Be sure that your router is within range of the device and avoid obstructions like cabinets and walls when possible.
As a tip, you can check the strength of your internet connection by going to Settings > Network > Check connection. This will test the quality of the signal and also measure the speed of that connection, to be sure that your signal is strong enough.
If you're continuing to have troubles, please reference our helpful FAQ article: http://go.roku.com/connectivity. This page will provide you with common concerns, troubleshooting, error codes, and recommended actions.
This was decribed as Roku with atringest widi. Not. My 6 year old cracked iphone 6 has a better wifi signal. My first two Rokus were great. Last 2 years I have bapugh 6, kept 3, and now I need a 7th. Wish I had never started streaming with Roku.

Hi Becky, thanks for taking a moment to share your feedback with us.
Signal strength can vary due to factors and we're here to help! We recommend visiting our FAQ article to walk through some helpful connection tips and resolutions: https://support.roku.com/article/213122277.
Other devices currently accessing the network, such as other streaming players, computers, game consoles, and mobile devices may affect the quality of your network connection. You might want to temporarily stop using any such device and check if that makes a difference.
Be sure that your router is within range of the device and avoid obstructions like cabinets and walls when possible. As a tip, you can check the strength of your internet connection by going to Settings > Network > Check connection.
If your router and Roku device both support 5GHz, you could also try connecting to the 5GHz wireless network for improved network strength.
We upgraded our 6 yr old Roku player to the Roku Express 4K+ and are very pleased with the way it works. The remote has some nice features like voice remote. It loads the channels quickly and streams smoothly. As a plus our cat likes the fish tank screensaver!
It's so tiny it blends into the bottom of the TV perfectly you hardly notice it except for the light is on . it looks great and sticks to the bottom edge of thetv
