![]() Want to buy shows on Vudu instead of Amazon? No problem. In some cases, they will only allow you to buy from that service. Some other devices will show you their own company’s streaming platform first, and make you work to watch on other services. If a movie or show is available on Amazon, Vudu and Netflix, the Streaming Stick 4K+ will show you all those options. Roku doesn’t promote one streaming service over another, so you can always easily find what you want, and stream it from the service you prefer, with little hassle. Roku’s own “What to Watch” sub menu just isn’t as good. The latter has an especially impressive, Google-esque ability to highlight movies or shows that it knows you’ll like. While the menu is easy to use, it’s not quite as slick and attractive as the Apple TV’s menus, or as content-forward as the Chromecast’s. ![]() Even though Roku now offers its own content, you can bury or even delete their app just like any other. You can move these blocks around so the ones you use the most are at the top. Roku’s main menu has big friendly blocks with all your chosen streaming channels. The Streaming Stick 4K+ is the device you’d want to give to parents or grandparents so they can start watching Netflix and Britbox with minimal tech support from you-I know because I’ve done exactly this-but it’s also powerful enough for heavy users. It’s easy to set up, easy to use and has an excellent rechargeable remote with a built-in headphone jack so you can watch TV without disturbing others. There are no restrictions on purchases like some streamers have, and there’s no proprietary lean toward one service or another. It has pretty much every streaming channel available, including the vast majority of mainstream offerings as well as a wide selection of more niche services. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K+ is all the media streamer most people will ever need. Roku interface is good, but others are arguably a little better.The tiny stick-style streamer is easy to use and service-agnostic, making it perfect for just about anyone. Best streaming device when you do not know what to watch. ![]()
