Apps & viewing

[BenignGrowth]

Hey Support, 

I have the Roku app on my phone. Trying to select the Roku Channel from within the app, but I get this message "To launch the app, go to device tab, and connect you Roku device."

I don't have a paid subscription or a device. Is this actually a paywall and I will be able to watch from my phone if I do get a subscription?

When I go to the Roku Channel on a web browser, I can see all the content there.

Hey, @BenignGrowth. Thanks for posting!

We see that you want to stream a show from the Roku Mobile App. 

Yes, you can stream some shows using the Roku App. However, only selected free shows are available, as some may require a subscription or need to be watched on a Roku device.

We suggest having a Roku device for enhanced streaming. We hope that clarifies. Let us know if you need more help!
