Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

I find that although the former roku streaming stick+ was fast loading apps, this one is noticeably faster. It's super fast. It’s worth every penny. Good access to our streaming subscriptions.

Voice control and built-in headphone jack on the remote. Remote is rechargeable. The only con i foresee is the remote has to be charged.

Stick is slightly longer than the recess on the back of my tv. Apps load up almost instantaneously. Only glitch we have is if the kids leave it on pause for too long.



Cons

A credit card is now a non-negotiable with roku. There is no excuse that it's still using micro usb. Flimsy port for ear plugs.

Shipping


A few days later i received what to me looked like a another power cord

Competitiveness


We seldom remember to use voice control but it is useful and surprisingly more reliable than say siri as an example


And better setup than amazon fire stick


After loading netflix hulu apple disney and espn there was no room for any other apps nor could i run updates to existing apps ...  Read More
