### 1/5 — I messed up connecting to one tv so now it won’t connect

*2026-07-26, version 1.0.5*

I can’t figure it out

### 1/5 — Horrible App - good service but horrible app

*2026-07-17, version 1.0.5*

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.

### 1/5 — No play

*2026-07-13, version 1.0.4*

It doesn’t work. It shows movies and shows.. and just pops error “ something went wrong. Unusable basically ..after paid membership obviously.. lame

### 1/5 — Confused

*2026-06-06, version 1.0.4*

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

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-06-05, version 1.0.4*

I can play it anymore

### 1/5 — can’t sign in

*2026-05-27, version 1.0.3*

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

### 1/5 — Apple TV?

*2026-05-08, version 1.0.3*

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

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-04-29, version 1.0.2*

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!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-02, version 1.0.5*

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

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

### 5/5 — Great💜app

*2026-04-02, version 1.0*

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

### 5/5 — Love Howdy!

*2026-03-30, version 1.0*

Impressed with the content for such a low price!

### 4/5 — Love the content / App needs functionality

*2026-07-31, version 1.0.5*

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.

### 4/5 — Continue Watching…

*2026-07-30, version 1.0.5*

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

### 4/5 — Formatting

*2026-03-31, version 1.0*

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

### 2/5 — No Apple TV app

*2026-05-01, version 1.0.2*

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