### 1/5 — 👎🏾

*2026-01-11, version 1.2.14*

It has been 17 days, and I still cannot access my subscription. I have tried in the App Store and through Roku.

I've just signed up, but I'm unable to access the app because it's telling me to finish the sign-up process.

### 2/5 — Picture In Picture

*2026-01-10*

I like to play games in my phone to relax while listening to and watching tv shows on a Picture in Picture screen. This app doesn’t have that functionality so I can’t watch anything. It’s so frustrating. Hope they can add that feature like all the other streaming apps that I use. It’s 2026! Gotta upgrade your app! Please! 🤗

### 4/5 — Great choice of oldies but goodies

*2025-08-04*

I do enjoy this app. It’s add free and provides nostalgic cinema that I really missed. 
My only issue is with the sitcoms. The app dosing automatically play the next episode. So one must keep the remote close by when watching shows with episodes.

### 2/5 — More Old-School movies and shows!!!

*2025-03-16, version 1.2.14*

The app is just ok, when I very first purchase I enjoyed watching all the classics from the 70s. Now they have to many tv shows, plays and movies that didn’t make the big screen. I keep saying I’m going to cancel but keep forgetting.

### 1/5 — Not Streaming

*2024-09-28, version 1.2.14*

I’ve been paying for this service for months every time I try logging on it says renew subscription when I hit renew it says the receipt you are trying to register is already in use so I can’t get past that

I thought I canceled in my Roku app like they said but it wouldn’t do anything as I clicked cancel. I email with a screen shot of the highlight ed button stating it would allow me to cancel and please cancel my account t. This was March 2023 Only to find out I’ve been charge for over 10 mths!!!! I had no idea! Now I’m going here, there and everywhere to cancel a membership I didn’t even know I still had! It is practically March again WTH Also be warned it doesn’t say Brown sugar on your credit card or bank it says ROKU FOR KATS!!! I SMELL A SCAM!!!! I may have to go to my followers to get this settled!
