Accessibility Comments

This app seems to be very accessible with everything labled including tabs. I don't have an actual roku but when I was testing out the option to watch on moble the content plays in lanscape mode. I couldn't figure out how to pause, add to any watch lists or close out a video even though I was logged into my account as suggested. The only way I could get out of the content that was playing was to close the whole app via the app switcher. If anyone else uses this app and has found a way to do this please feel free to add to the comments.

VoiceOver Performance

Usability

Other Comments

Nice app for if you want to control your roku or watch roku content without a device such as the roku channel.

experience from a roku user

I have a roku and use this app with it all the time. Even the remote section of the app is nicely laid out, with all buttons having clear indicators as to their fuction. I actually prefer using the roku app as a remote to navigate my roku instead of the remote that came with the device because the remote goes threw batteries like they're water.
