Meet your new streaming best friend: the Roku® Mobile App! 📱✨ This free app is designed to enhance your Roku streaming experience, giving you a suite of tools right at your fingertips. Whether you're at home or on the go, the Roku app makes entertainment more accessible and convenient. Let’s dive into what makes this app a must-have!
Effortless Control 🕹️: Say goodbye to fumbling for the remote! The Roku app turns your smartphone or tablet into a fully functional remote control. Navigate menus, adjust the volume, and control playback with ease. It’s perfect for when you can’t find the physical remote or just prefer the convenience of your phone.
Voice and Keyboard Search 🗣️ ⌨️: Tired of typing with the on-screen keyboard? Use your voice to quickly search for movies, shows, actors, or directors. Alternatively, use your mobile keyboard for faster and more accurate text input. Finding what you want has never been easier!
Private Listening 🎧: Want to watch TV without disturbing others? Plug in your headphones and enjoy private listening through the Roku app. This feature is perfect for late-night viewing or shared living spaces where you need to keep the volume down.
On-the-Go Entertainment ✈️ : Never miss your favorite shows! Stream free movies, live TV, and more with The Roku Channel directly on your mobile device. Whether you’re commuting, traveling, or just relaxing away from your TV, entertainment is always within reach.
Media Casting 📲 📺: Share your personal media on the big screen. Cast photos, videos, and music from your phone or tablet to your TV. It’s a fantastic way to share memories with family and friends or enjoy your home videos in a cinematic way.
Channel Management ➕: Add and launch channels directly from the Roku app. Browse the Roku Channel Store, add new channels, and launch them on your Roku device—all without touching your TV remote.
Easy Text Entry ✍️: Entering usernames, passwords, or search terms is a breeze with your mobile keyboard. No more struggling with the on-screen keyboard; type quickly and accurately with the familiar layout of your smartphone or tablet.
Important Considerations ⚠️: To use certain features, ensure your phone or tablet is connected to the same wireless network as your Roku device. Some features may also require a compatible Roku device and logging into your Roku account. Voice search is available in English in the US, UK, and Canada, and in Spanish in Mexico and the US. The Roku Channel can be viewed in the mobile app in the US only. Keep in mind that some channels require payment and availability can vary by country.
