great app

has worked great for me so far. i deleted the official roku app because it might be “free” but it’s actually at the cost of mining your data. and selling it to third parties. don’t believe me? go check whatever ad they’re posting and see if it’s not related to something you searched recently on another device. predatory and gross.

ROBYTE however is awesome and does not run ads. i think not being able to use the volume for the free version is a small price to pay, and it actually makes me WANT to pay for the subscription because they’re not scummy like the “official” roku app.

Why does it do this

Every now and then when you press a button it makes the screen move in that same direction until it can’t and goes down even more until you press one of the arrows over and over but that’s my only negative thing but overall it’s a mediocre app
