Is it possible to actually view streaming content on a mobile device using the mobile app?

Is the mobile app functionality limited to those of a replacement remote and private listening or can content actually be viewed on mobile devices?

The app is mainly just a remote control equivalent. To view anything on your phone/tablet, you will need the other services own apps.

Thanks for the inquiry.

You can stream the Roku Channel content on your mobile app.

Thank you Danny. I can see now that I am able to stream content from the Roku channel onto my iPhone. i’m also able to do the same on my Amazon Kindle Fire after I uninstalled the app downloaded from their app store, and re-installed the download from the Google Play store. Before that the only functionality was that of additional remote. If I accessed the menu offering channels and selected the Roku channel it would automatically launch the remote screen. Sweet! I’m becoming a bigger fan of Roku all the time. 😊
