Now trying cancel subscription and app is unresponsive ### 3/5 — Enjoying the app *2025-11-13, version 3.0.4* Will give 5 starts once its available on apple TV. The ios version is jot too bad. For some reason cannot cast it to apple tv, it only detects built in tv chrome-cast. ### 2/5 — Can improve a-lot. *2025-11-04, version 3.0.3* The movie collection is good. Wish we could play it on apple tv itself. Casting to tv from phone is difficult since when we pause a movie we have to do it all over again and the movie plays from beginning. I will be unsubscribing. Will be back when you actually add it to apple tv. ### 1/5 — Screen share not working *2025-10-24, version 3.0.1* Unable to screen share using the iPhone. Only voice gets through not the video. Please fix ### 1/5 — Poor customer feedback *2025-10-19, version 3.0.1* App is very slow and poor customer feedback ### 1/5 — unsubscription *2025-10-08, version 2.0.9* I’m unable to unsubscribe from roopahala, and they’re not responding to our emails.😡 ### 1/5 — Simply wasted! *2025-10-04, version 2.0.8* Website is not streaming videos in Laptops. App is extremely slow where I have 100 MB internet connection. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — App Needs lots of improvements *2025-10-02, version 2.0.8* No Deactivate option. Support takes ages to respond. Almost feels like a scam. Claims can stream to apple tv, however unable to do so. ### 1/5 — Worst app *2025-09-16, version 2.0.6* This is one of the worst streaming apps I’ve used. The session keeps signing out for no reason. I can save my login credentials on my phone and laptop, but on the TV it’s a nightmare, once it signs out, it’s very hard to log back in. The whole experience is frustrating and not user friendly at all. ### 1/5 — Do not get this app *2025-09-03, version 2.0.5* You cannot end the subscription. They will keep charging you and there is no method to cancel the subscription. And the app itself is buggy. ### 1/5 — cant subscribe *2025-08-31, version 2.0.5* cant subscribe, app asks to go to web and web asks to go to app ### 1/5 — Subscribe *2025-08-27, version 2.0.5* Can’t subscribe ### 1/5 — How to cancel this *2025-08-05, version 2.0.4* im trying to cancel my subscription for two months I emailed, called, did everything i could no one even reply Please cancel my subscription ### 1/5 — I want to cancel my subscription *2025-07-27, version 2.0.3* I want to cancel my subscription why you not responding to my emails. ### 1/5 — Communication *2025-07-27, version 2.0.3* I submitted a request to cancel my account last month, but I have not received any response, and I’m still being charged without any communication from your side. This is very disappointing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Jarawak *2026-05-30, version 3.1.3* Jarawak ### 1/5 — AirPlay & Screen Mirroring not working *2026-05-15, version 3.1.3* Tried casting to the TV using AirPlay, but the app won’t recognize any devices. Also tried screen mirroring through AirPlay — only the sound plays on the TV, no video. Looks like the app is blocking casting/screen mirroring. Even tried playing through a web browser and mirroring to the TV, but still only audio works without the picture. Pretty disappointing experience. ### 1/5 — Not worth and Scam *2026-04-28, version 3.1.2* I paid the subscription for first month and did not have any issue. but in second month account was still unsubscribed after they charged i send massages and email but they didnt respond to me. Dont buy this not enough contents as well.. ### 1/5 — Poor chrome-cast connection *2026-04-25, version 3.1.2* I can connect YouTube, Netflix, Kayo, etc apps to my TV via chrome-cast but Roopa Hala app keeps failing to connect.. ### 1/5 — Casting is not working on Roku Device *2026-03-06, version 3.0.9* Casting is not working with Roku device. Wast of money ### 1/5 — Poor quality high price *2026-02-14, version 3.0.6* Not fast , poor wuality and small collection ### 1/5 — Casting not working properly *2025-12-29, version 3.0.4* Already submitted an inquiry. No response yet. ### 1/5 — Too bad *2025-12-27, version 3.0.4* Can’t watch in smart tv no matter how hard we try and not playing in Apple TV ### 1/5 — Tv casting not working *2025-12-03, version 3.0.4* I have unsubscribed from the membership because the casting to TV is not working, and there are no quality movies to watch. I feel like I lost my money. Think twice before you spend your money. ### 1/5 — Casting not working *2025-11-25, version 3.0.4* Casting is not working. I am writing this comment on Nov-2025 and I saw few other comments since May. But the issue is still there. I simply wanna mirror my iPhone screen to my ROKU TV. Kindly fix this at the earliest. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-05-18, version 3.1.3* 😍😍😍😍 ### 5/5 — 💙 *2025-10-07, version 2.0.9* 😍 ### 5/5 — Cinema *2025-09-16, version 2.0.6* Excellent! ### 5/5 — 1 *2025-07-27, version 2.0.3* Awesome ### 5/5 — 5⭐️ *2025-05-23, version 2.0.0* Roopa Hala is a very useful app for watching local movies, especially for those of us living overseas. The price is very affordable, making it a great option for staying connected to our culture and entertainment. I’m looking forward to seeing more new and trending movies added to the platform. One suggestion for improvement would be to allow users to manage their accounts directly through the app, instead of having to visit the website. Overall, a great app with a lot of potential! ### 5/5 — Weldone *2025-04-15, version 1.1.9* Superb. Good movie collection. Try to expand more. Need Nelum kuluna movie as well. And if you can include live Sri Lankan TV channels it will increase your popularity. ### 5/5 — Amazing Experience *2025-02-25, version 1.1.6* Roopa Hala makes me feel at home again. Amazing collection of Sinhala films, zero ads, and perfect streaming quality! ### 5/5 — Highly recommended *2024-11-05, version 1.0.9* Just downloaded Roopa Hala, and I’m hooked! A fantastic selection of Sinhala movies and dramas, top-notch streaming quality, and spot-on recommendations. Perfect for anyone who loves Sri Lankan cinema and wants an ad-free, easy-to-use app. Definitely worth a try! ### 4/5 — A wonderful way to stay connected to Sinhala cinema *2025-08-09, version 2.0.5* I absolutely love this app! Since moving overseas, I hadn’t been able to watch a single recent Sri Lankan movie — until now. Thanks to this app, I finally can, and it’s been such a joy to reconnect with the films I’ve been missing. There are just a couple of little things that could make it even better. Casting to a TV can be a bit tricky at times, and when first signing up, the app only shows a “Sign In” option, which made it hard to get started. In fact, I discovered the app weeks ago but couldn’t log in until a friend recently showed me the workaround. Overall though, I’m so grateful for this app and what it offers. It’s a wonderful way to stay connected to home, and I’m looking forward to seeing it get even better. ### 4/5 — Good quality and speed with trailers *2025-04-02, version 1.1.6* Wish it was possible to subscribe through apple rather than having to go through the website. Still contemplating on subscribing because of that. I’ll get back with another review if I end up subscribing.
