I'm impressed with the number of applications available. Amazon Fire has far fewer than Roku.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Great Entertainment Tool

Roku stick is easy to use and has a Great selection (make sure you subscribe to Netflix & watch it on your Roku). Works good most of the time, had a couple of times it froze up or wouldn't bring up My List but just turn it off & turn it back on, works fine. Wish we could delete movies we don't like off our recently watched line- up though.

RIDICULOUSLY CONFUSING

My title says it all... This thing is ridiculously confusing. It took forever to get it to even work because the remote wouldn't pair up with the Roku device. After several attempts and a trip back to the store to make sure I was doing it right or if the remote was bad. They hooked it up and had some trouble with it too but finally the remote connected to the Roku device so I figured it was ok. After taking it home and trying it again myself it finally connected but it literally took me over an hour of shutting it down and restarting it before it finally connected. Once it was finally connected I started flipping around through the menu and OMG it is ridiculously confusing. I received my Roku stick through my company's recognition program so I'm keeping it but if I had bought it myself I would have returned it immediately.
Good luck to any of you who have the patience to figure this thing out.

Not at all what I expected!

I just bought the roku stick. First off it would no fit behind the tv I wanted to use it on due to size hitting the stand. I tried it on another tv in the house and it could not pick up a signal from the router in the same location as my smart tv which has no problem with getting the signal. The final straw was when I got it to finally set up just 18" from my router I was confronted with needing to give a credit card number? This piece of garbage goes back tomorrow AM. I have netflix and use free services why on earth would I give them my credit card number. If this is a requirement it needs to state it on the outside of the package. I give it -5 (minus 5) stars in all categories!!!

Good apps

I bought this to get youtube after the app went from my smart TV. Very pleased with the performance and all the extra channels. The wifi connection is good. There are lots of extra free channels and the four main TV players. I've also been able to cast some videos from my Android devices to the TV. The remote control can be a bit slow, but you can get the Roku app for Android to use - not tried that yet.

Great deal!

Works well and I am happy with the unit. Only thing I noticed is that the remote seems to eat the AAA batteries faster than what I expected. The little green LED on the remote is on most of the time even when the unit is not being used.
