FAQ

What does the Roku App do?

The Roku App allows you to control your Roku streaming devices from your phone or tablet. You can use it as a remote, search for entertainment using voice or keyboard, and even stream free content like movies and live TV directly within the app.

What are the key features of the Roku App?

Key features include a convenient mobile remote control, voice and keyboard search for quick content discovery, private listening with headphones, streaming of free movies and live TV via The Roku Channel, and the ability to cast media files from your phone to your TV.

Is the Roku App free to use?

The app itself is free to download and use. However, some channels available through Roku may require payment or subscriptions, and these costs are separate from the app's functionality.

What devices is the Roku App compatible with?

The app is designed for use with Roku streaming devices. To utilize certain features, your phone or tablet must be connected to the same wireless network as your Roku device. Some features may also require a compatible Roku device and a Roku account login.

How can I use the Roku App to find content?
