- Today I'm sharing 20 streaming apps that I have downloaded on my Roku. The best part? They're all FREE! If you don't have a Roku, many of these apps are available on other streaming devices like Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV and Chromecast with Google TV.

What are your favorite free streaming apps?
i love Pluto TV
Tubi is about the best
American Horrors and American Horrors Classic!
Tubie, Freevee, and Hoopla
Pluto and tubi. Freevee is good also
I wish Tubi would let you pay for no ads. I love this channel.
I share your channel wirh all the cord cutters I know! Thank you so much. Great job!
Long time subscriber. Love your channel. Keep up the great work!
I am new to streaming and I always learn more when I watch your videos...THANKS
The Roku channel is in my top three.
Yet another super-helpful vid, thanks so much!
Roku has a ton of free channels. I've discovered so many with content I really love.
First!!! Always wanted to type that. 🤣I use so many of these apps. I really don't watch
tv anymore. So much to watch and sometimes I just can't make up my mind. Thanks
Michael for your videos. 🤗
Thank you, Sir. I like Tubi very much. I like it for all the crazy creature feature movies and comedy horror. Sometimes I find all the choices on the Apps a little overwhelming. I scroll and look at all the choices for too long and then just put the news on and walk away. Have a nice day.
Appreciate your help and guidance to roku
I love the roku interface. The only thing I wish would change is make it easier to organize the channels than having to move and drag them. They should allow you to add a number to the channel, and then that way it will just appear right where you want it, based on the number you give it. I like to categorize my channels by type. Movies in one section, live tv, etc games
I googled... and the answer is yes. Internet needed.
You were so helpful! I am such a dummie when it comes to these new things! Well, new to me - I grew up where I was the channel changer. 😁
We have the same as you to number 10! We also is Hoopla!
Tubi, Roku for sure. Pluto needs to fix its interface and it will be awesome. It's still cumbersome to navigate.
It's really cumbersome on the Fire Stick/Cube.
I enjoy tubi
Thanks for the video. I was going to say “Dust” for sci-fi fans but that app seems to have disappeared!
Can you use Roku with LED TV,s.or just with a only aRoku TV.
Awesome.
When is frevee coming to Canada on roku
Can I recipe local channels like Univision universal Telemundo and International channels from colombia, etc❤❤❤
Do these apply in South Africa?
For some reason, my roku remote Wont-work? I've charged it everything. I can't get it to work with the other part of itself. So I want to put it on my phone. But I don't know how to do it. I had it there, but something went wrong and I lost it now. I don't know how to set it back up again
I downloaded and installed roku channel doest work do you need a router account to get live tv
I have a question about Roku but couldn’t find an applicable video. We have a 2019 higher end Samsung tv with a Vizio sound bar/subwoofer connected to it through an optical cable. The sound bar does not have an hdmi-arc port although the tv does. We have a roku stick coming tomorrow. From reading, I think I have discovered that the roku remote won’t also control our soundbar since it is connected by an optical cable. Is this correct? So we’ll likely have to use both remotes (Samsung for volume) to use the roku stick?
I don't have an answer for you because I haven't tested that setup. This article may help, but you may want to just wait until your Roku arrives and set it up to try the tips at the bottom of this article: www.makeuseof.com/tag/control-sound-bars-roku-tv-remote/
@@MichaelSaves thank you so much! Recently subscribed after finding your channel. You do such an awesome job explaining and showing everything concisely and clearly!
@@MichaelSaves The Roku stick came today, and despite what I had read, it connected and controls the sound bar perfectly with an optical cable. I did have to adjust the digital output audio delay in our Samsung TV settings to sync the speech to the actor’s lips, but that was easy to do and no big deal. Very happy to only have to use one remote!
@@reginacoker4120 nice thank you for coming back to tell me. It will help me provide a better answer to the next person who asks!
My issue w/the Roku channel app, is that it doesn't cast from the phone to the tv. Otherwise, it does have good movies and tv shows
I just found your channel probably because I’ve been thinking about getting a Roku streaming device. I’ve had Comcast forever and the prices are just ridiculous at this point. What really burns me is that in order to get my news channels with Comcast, I have to pay for sports even though I never watch sports. I know this isn’t the topic of this video but does anyone have a recommendation of a Roku TV or should I just go ahead and buy the streaming device? My Samsung TV is not a smart TV but it’s in good shape even though I’ve had it for about nine years.
If your TV is working well, I would get a device - not a TV. I have a recent video about shopping for a new device.
@@MichaelSaves Thank you. I’m checking out all your videos!
I just cut Comcast yesterday and went with Frontier. My bill was $323 monthly - middle pkg with 6 tv's - needed alot of boxes. Internet now $48. I did have to buy 6 antennas but I'll still be ahead in the long run. I was scared to do it but setup has been so easy! I'm a happy lady, Just get a roku stick, its easy.
I surprised you didn't mention Stirr
Up to 5 different family's can be on one account and can be in different nt state
Do any if these have TLC?
Every time I try to watch a program from my Hallmark subscription and my Discovery+ subscription I have to start a 7 day free trial to unlock them. But my Roku list of subscriptions indicate the 2 subscriptions are current. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to say No to the new subscription offer saying I already have it. Help
This happened to me on one TV, other was fine. On the roku went into hallmarks options I think and resigned in using a another email ( used the same) then put in my password and it started working again
I use to be able to watch Roku tv on my mobile. how can I do that?
Help download international too
I have the first three channels freevee doesn't work when I click on it it starts and at home page shoots back to main menu I've tried and updated and redownloaded to no advail it still doesn't work
It works I've watched it before I seen the series lost on it. But prime owns it and will be getting rid of it in April I hear
Vhs tapes more greater than your video is what is problem have vhs movies in your house it doesn't lock up at all like internet does in the future and people like myself are fixing broken vhs tapes with Scotch tape it starts playing again with out no problem's
but how do you stop ADS
I was watching a series on plex and roku upgraded from 11 to 12 and the series I was watching went from free to pay tv. Be careful with upgrades.
Michael love❤your videos love tubi Pluto TV freevee TH-cam
The downside of these "free" streaming apps. is that the picture resolution is usually only 480p, AND the audio is usually only 2-channel stereo; NOT 5.1 or 7.1 Dolby Digital +.
What d you want for nothing. It's free!
This is probably a stupid question...do you have to have internet to get the roku channels?
Yes
Do any of these offer c-span live stream?
No. C-SPAN is on cable
@@MichaelSaves thx
Do I need to have my ROKU TV hooked up to the internet to stream OTA-broad cast channels? Some people yes while others say no. Tired of getting the royal run around. Mary
The two are unrelated. You can't watch OTA through the Roku device. You would watch OTA with your antenna on one TV input, and change inputs on your remote to the Roku when you want to watch OTA. HOWEVER, if you subscribe to TH-cam TV, you can get your local channels on your Roku, but personally I think TH-cam TV is way too expensive.
Agree!
The best chanel they hat they got rid of bring back movie land tv*****
Sling is not forget to pay for everything you need to watch
Buddy
Plex
Canafa dont have cw😊
Teatv
Shit pluto shows same shows and old shows need to uodate
Then use a paid TV service What do you want for free stuff? LOL
Top 3 are great.... Rest sucks
Pluto TV would seem to offer some great programming, but in reality it's just the most efficient means of absorbing continuous advertising ever devised by man. Especially if you want to watch the business news channels. lmbo! As soon as you select it, you get 7 to 9 consecutive commercials, maybe a minute of interview with some woke CEO, and cut back to anther 7-9 commercial block...repeat...all...the...time. Apparently, from the constant ads for the 2 cackling hens podcast, it's all bored housewives watching anyway. Sadly, had to cut this channel loose.
Roku channel sucks in Brazil nothing opens only application that can view is Reuters news why bother why is everything blocked why offer a channel that nothing opens are u listening roku?
i hate pluto,
There are better free apps with absolutely no commercials but I think I'll keep them to myself 🙂 otherwise they will start putting commercials on if too many people start watching
Keep it to yourself, and I'll keep it to myself :)
Freevee is a piece of crap. Half the time movies don't play, video and audio or off, constant freezing, and lord help you if you're watching episodes, of one show. Trash
If it says Fox, I say NO. In fact, I highly recommend that if you aren't a cable cutter and still have a subscription to cable tv, contact your service provider to ask that they remove FOX from your service. People don't realize that the portion of your bill that covers FOX is actually as much or more than premium channels like HBO and you don't have a choice about subscribing. I am not supporting any corporation that is an outlet of propaganda for fascist wannabees.
I would rather see then cut CNN, MSNBC, and all those other liberal loving channels.
The fascists are the media companies working as the propaganda wing of the Democratic party. It's the literal definition of fascism. And Fox News is now owned by lefties anyway.
