    According to VidAngel's website: 

    "We’ve submitted the VidAngel channel for review multiple times over the years, including as recently as the fall of 2021. Each time, Roku has declined to approve our channel without clarifying their position. That’s why users have had to “sideload” our app onto their Roku device rather than downloading it from the official store."

    I don't know if someone from Roku looks at these forums or not, but if you don't approve VidAngel's app, I will NEVER buy another Roku device or do business with Roku again.  It's strange that the app is on Apple TV but not Roku. I would have expected Apple to have more of a problem with it than Roku.

    Looks like Roku has grown too big for their own good and no longer cares about what their customer's want.

VidAngel told me last week that they have been trying to work with Roku on getting the app back since it was dropped but Roku has not responding to any communications sent. They suggested that concerns be brought up with Roku at this point because Roku seems to have no interest in listening.

VidAngel has bent over backwards for us on multiple occasions to be able to access their app in the most convenient way possible. Roku has done nothing.

I stand by the facts I offered.

VidAngel is available on Fire TV, Apple TV, and Google/Android TV. You should be able to watch it using one of those devices.
