Features, settings & updates

• Can we get an update with some decent parental controls? Maybe app locking, app deletion or blocking, maybe fhe ability to lock roku app on phone. Roku lacks in parenral controls and the evidence is all over the internet. People want better parental controls. Step up, roku. The call has been made, are we switching brands of tvs or will you add better parental controls?

Is there a plan to implement more robust parental controls? App locking would be great. Even within the Roku channel, there is no way to block shows that are rated PG or lower. Unfortunately, the Roku channel now imports a lot of YouTube channels and many of them that I find highly objectionable for my kids but they are rated PG and lower so all I can do is delete the app to keep my kids off them. Being able to block specific shows rather than relying on ratings would be a huge improvement.
