Like It Better Than ROKU 3

We don't play the games that are available on the ROKU 3 so the streaming stick is a better fit for us (although we do have a ROKU 3 and love it!). The streaming stick is really convenient because we can easily take it with us wherever we go (i.e. vacation or another TV in the house). I would highly recommend the ROKU streaming stick.
This stick was the most simple and cheaper solution to have Netflix on my badroom's TV, which is an "old" smart-tv. Otherwise I would have to buy an wifi adaptor (not cheap anymore) and use the smart-tv application for Netflix, which I guess won't have a good performance (time response, etc). The only aspect should be improved in the next versions is the boot time (it takes a minute).
I purchased almost a month ago. Have binged watch TV series and several movies. I do not work, so home everyday. It is my entertainment and I am thrilled with it.
I Couldn't be happier with the Roku Streaming Stick. As a college student, it allows me to stream Pandora while I am studying, and Netflix/Prime/Hulu when I need a break
This is my second Roku product. We bought it because of the small size and since we have one in out winter home,we knew this product to be a great value. I was a little skeptical at first because of the size, but after using it for a few month we found that , in this case, size doesn't matter!
I purchased this for my son, so I didn't have to keep bringing the Roku 3 into his room so he could watch a movie with his friends. It works, but it definitely doesn't have anywhere near the performance of the Roku 3.
Choose the Roku over the Chromecast as it had much better reviews. Unit does work and works well, but not with MLB TV and that is mainly what I bought it for. Stream stops and reloads at times and pic quality is generally not in hi def. No problems on my tablet or smartphone, so it must be something with Roku and Mlb. Can't really rate the other programming as that is not what I watch.
The whole Roku connection process was extraordinarily slow and repetitive......getting and entering passwords many, many time! There has to be an easy way to get streaming!
