Endless loop, can’t watch anything.

I reset my system now it won’t work

Sucks I’m paying for this won’t work

Great app

Tried Howdy and I really liked it just didn’t see the need to keep it I do love the older content and add free low price those features alone makes it a really
good app and I will definitely subscribe from time to time

Better than I expected

Found lots more TV shows and movies to watch. Not just old reruns.

Love the content / App needs functionality

Love the content but navigating it is near impossible and there are literally no user settings. Everything is tied to the Roku Channel like it’s just an overlay. And just today all of my “continue watching” is gone. I’m struggling to find what shows I was watching and where I left off on them. A very frustrating user experience.

Continue Watching…

Fix it. What does it take to have a movie disappear from this section?

I messed up connecting to one tv so now it won’t connect

I can’t figure it out

Horrible App - good service but horrible app

Howdy is worth the $2.99 if you want older movies without commercials. Well worth the price.

However, it is about the worst app you can have on an iPad. It's a very basic app on iPhone and Roku itself.

Finding a movie is frustrating. Search/save, queue are all very very basic and lack even minimal expected features.

The ipad app is a joke, how did Apple approve this?

If your iPad is in a case, especially one that raises thr iPad at an angle, the movie plays upside down and there is no way to rotate.

To sign in, search, etc you are stuck in vertical screen.

This alone will het me to cancel after one month.

Confused

I purchased through Amazon Prime . downloaded app and it will not let me sign in with my amazon account . support said just sign in . doesn't work . feels like i wasted money

canceling membership . i'm hard of hearing and almost all the shows and movies captions are unavailable

Stopped working

I can play it anymore

can’t sign in

Can’t sign it, doesn’t let me purchase the subscription.

Apple TV?

There’s no Apple TV app. I’m not spending money on a streaming service I can’t use on all my devices.

No Apple TV app

I get why they want this to be Roku exclusive content, but come on. No Apple TV app? That’s just punitive.

Doesn’t work

It continually asks for login and once that is entered, it logs off and keeps rebounding back to sign-in. Very big waste of time. I feel like this is a scam!!

Can’t sign in

Says Error Something went wrong. Try again later. When I try to sign in to my Roku account. Have restarted iPhone and waited several hours between attempts.

Great💜app

I’m on my phone more than in front of my TV, now I can stream on the go for 3 bucks a month - can’t beat it

Formatting

Just installed but doesn’t fill my iPad screen just 2/3
