Watching your favorite movies and TV shows has never been easier than today. Streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and more deliver content when you want it and on your schedule. Roku is the interface that brings all of these streaming services together under one brand. The Roku app is a companion mobile app for any Roku device. You can download and install the app on any iOS or Android device.

The app provides some unique features like searching through voice. The Roku search feature looks at over 500 channels to find the content you want. The app also features private listening with headphones. That means you can listen quietly in bed while your spouse sleeps next to you without disturbing them.

The recently launched Roku Channel also offers a variety of content available to stream anywhere. Content available on the Roku Channel is available for free to Roku owners and rotates regularly.

You can tap into that content in the app thanks to Plex support. The app is entirely free and is compatible will all current Roku boxes and smart TVs.
