These Are the 20 Best Free Roku Apps!

День тому

Today I'm sharing 20 streaming apps that I have downloaded on my Roku. The best part? They're all FREE! If you don't have a Roku, many of these apps are available on other streaming devices like Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV and Chromecast with Google TV.

The Roku channel is in my top three.

@rosemoore5364 Рік тому

Thank you, Sir. I like Tubi very much. I like it for all the crazy creature feature movies and comedy horror. Sometimes I find all the choices on the Apps a little overwhelming. I scroll and look at all the choices for too long and then just put the news on and walk away. Have a nice day.

@michaelwyckoff7593 Рік тому

Roku has a ton of free channels. I've discovered so many with content I really love.

First!!! Always wanted to type that. 🤣I use so many of these apps. I really don't watch tv anymore. So much to watch and sometimes I just can't make up my mind. Thanks Michael for your videos. 🤗

You were so helpful! I am such a dummie when it comes to these new things! Well, new to me - I grew up where I was the channel changer. 😁

@greyeagle4388 Рік тому

I love the roku interface. The only thing I wish would change is make it easier to organize the channels than having to move and drag them. They should allow you to add a number to the channel, and then that way it will just appear right where you want it, based on the number you give it. I like to categorize my channels by type. Movies in one section, live tv, etc games

@paulsmith9341 Рік тому

We have the same as you to number 10! We also is Hoopla!

@determineddi2044 Рік тому

Tubi, Roku for sure. Pluto needs to fix its interface and it will be awesome. It's still cumbersome to navigate.

I just found your channel probably because I’ve been thinking about getting a Roku streaming device. I’ve had Comcast forever and the prices are just ridiculous at this point. What really burns me is that in order to get my news channels with Comcast, I have to pay for sports even though I never watch sports. I know this isn’t the topic of this video but does anyone have a recommendation of a Roku TV or should I just go ahead and buy the streaming device? My Samsung TV is not a smart TV but it’s in good shape even though I’ve had it for about nine years.

@MichaelSaves Рік тому

If your TV is working well, I would get a device - not a TV. I have a recent video about shopping for a new device.

@kharmaiz Рік тому

@@MichaelSaves Thank you. I’m checking out all your videos!

@lindahill1199 Місяць тому

I just cut Comcast yesterday and went with Frontier. My bill was $323 monthly - middle pkg with 6 tv's - needed alot of boxes. Internet now $48. I did have to buy 6 antennas but I'll still be ahead in the long run. I was scared to do it but setup has been so easy! I'm a happy lady, Just get a roku stick, its easy.

My issue w/the Roku channel app, is that it doesn't cast from the phone to the tv. Otherwise, it does have good movies and tv shows

@reginacoker4120 Рік тому

I have a question about Roku but couldn’t find an applicable video. We have a 2019 higher end Samsung tv with a Vizio sound bar/subwoofer connected to it through an optical cable. The sound bar does not have an hdmi-arc port although the tv does. We have a roku stick coming tomorrow. From reading, I think I have discovered that the roku remote won’t also control our soundbar since it is connected by an optical cable. Is this correct? So we’ll likely have to use both remotes (Samsung for volume) to use the roku stick?

@MichaelSaves Рік тому

I don't have an answer for you because I haven't tested that setup. This article may help, but you may want to just wait until your Roku arrives and set it up to try the tips at the bottom of this article: www.makeuseof.com/tag/control-sound-bars-roku-tv-remote/

@@MichaelSaves thank you so much! Recently subscribed after finding your channel. You do such an awesome job explaining and showing everything concisely and clearly!

@reginacoker4120 Рік тому

@@MichaelSaves The Roku stick came today, and despite what I had read, it connected and controls the sound bar perfectly with an optical cable. I did have to adjust the digital output audio delay in our Samsung TV settings to sync the speech to the actor’s lips, but that was easy to do and no big deal. Very happy to only have to use one remote!

Every time I try to watch a program from my Hallmark subscription and my Discovery+ subscription I have to start a 7 day free trial to unlock them.

The downside of these "free" streaming apps. is that the picture resolution is usually only 480p, AND the audio is usually only 2-channel stereo; NOT 5.1 or 7.1 Dolby Digital +.

Do I need to have my ROKU TV hooked up to the internet to stream OTA-broad cast channels? Some people yes while others say no. Tired of getting the royal run around. Mary

@mgratk 11 місяців тому

The two are unrelated. You can't watch OTA through the Roku device. You would watch OTA with your antenna on one TV input, and change inputs on your remote to the Roku when you want to watch OTA. HOWEVER, if you subscribe to UKposts TV, you can get your local channels on your Roku, but personally I think UKposts TV is way too expensive.

@brichard9485 2 місяці тому

Pluto TV would seem to offer some great programming, but in reality it's just the most efficient means of absorbing continuous advertising ever devised by man. Especially if you want to watch the business news channels. lmbo! As soon as you select it, you get 7 to 9 consecutive commercials, maybe a minute of interview with some woke CEO, and cut back to anther 7-9 commercial block...repeat...all...the...time. Apparently, from the constant ads for the 2 cackling hens podcast, it's all bored housewives watching anyway. Sadly, had to cut this channel loose.

@barbarasmith2693 Рік тому

If it says Fox, I say NO. In fact, I highly recommend that if you aren't a cable cutter and still have a subscription to cable tv, contact your service provider to ask that they remove FOX from your service. People don't realize that the portion of your bill that covers FOX is actually as much or more than premium channels like HBO and you don't have a choice about subscribing. I am not supporting any corporation that is an outlet of propaganda for fascist wannabees.

@louisd95714 Рік тому

I would rather see then cut CNN, MSNBC, and all those other liberal loving channels.

@mgratk 11 місяців тому

The fascists are the media companies working as the propaganda wing of the Democratic party. It's the literal definition of fascism. And Fox News is now owned by lefties anyway.
