had a roku smart tv (back light broke) and the replacement i could get was a fire smart tv, i 1100% prefer roku, its so much simpler and easy to use in every way, easier to navigate. i am actually going to buy a roku stick to also use on my tv honestly.
For anyone who is not sure, I would recommend getting the Roku. seeing as I’ve been getting a lot of comments stating that the fire stick gets slower with age. which is something I’ve recently started to notice as well.
I have two Roku devices. Just got another one. It doesn’t get easy considering I already have an account. I’m returning due to no volume control and on/off switch for a Fire Stick.
I have the firestick and the roku express. Roku is way faster with 0 lag. Firstick has a great interface but it lags a lot. Installing apps is faster in roku. But firstick is android so sideloading apps is a great thing. Not sure if it's bc I have the roku express which is 29.99 bc I have never used the roku stick. I give it to the roku in my regular use, less headaches of waiting to go back to the home screen.
The fire stick is a premium product so you have to take a premium membership that cost $99.00. But I haven't checked out the Amazon fire stick they have at Best Buy and if I still have to pay the $99.00 plus the $49.00 for the fire stick itself. Do I have to go with these options on purchasing a Fire Stick or is there a better offer?
Hmmm...... i’m not quite sure I understand your question if you’re asking is this worth getting if you don’t have an Amazon membership or not then yes you can still get Netflix and Hulu and everything else on it. But I would recommend you get the Roku then.
Dude u definitely don't need Amazon prime. All u need is Teatv app and your good or any other tv/movie app that's free and u don't have to pay for shit. It jus doesn't work by voice and it's a few more clicks. Woop di doo
So I see this is your most popular video. That's awesome! I've been trying to get to 50 subscribers before the end of the year. I achieved that goal yesterday and I'm happy. But hey Great video! My family always goes for Rokus lol.
ROTFLMFAO EMOJI well If you have an Amazon account then The fire stick is perfect for you. Just sign into your account and you’re pretty much good to go. 👌
MR SOCIALLY, which one has the most good and free apps? Is it roku or fire tv? I am between the two to decide to buy, I am between the roku ultra 4k and the fire tv cube, which has more options of applications of films, TV channels and series?
Sorry for the late reply........... unfortunately I have no experience with those two devices, so I couldn’t say what they have. but in my experience with these devices I found that the fire TV has more variety when it comes to apps and games, One downside is it doesn’t have UA-cam in the App Store however it does have Silk browser so you can go onto the Internet and get UA-cam from there.
I got my kids Fire tablets last Xmas and was having the same problem. Many, many other people online were saying the same and attributed it to an ever-growing section of the data usage(called something like "system files" or something, I can't remember) that was impossible to access or get rid of without wiping the device. My guess is Amazon is data mining and using space on their devices. Steer clear of Alexa, Bezos is profiting off your life deets.

Have you heard about SofaBaton Universal Remote Attachment for Amazon Fire TV Stick? I think maybe you would be interested in this product.
duck brewster hey very sorry for the late reply, for some reason UA-cam isn’t notifying me when I’m getting replies on my video. and you might look into getting something known as it RCA to HDMI adapter.
Sucks I have to switch between both of them because Roku doesn’t have twitch tv and the amazon fire doesn’t have UA-cam. Unless it doesn’t stutter to bad on google then I’ll just use the amazon fire stick
A fire tv out performs both of these easily. More ram, upgradeable storage, ethernet jack. I have 2 fire tv's and a couple fire sticks and I set up a roku for my friend and they dont come close to a fire tv.
Yeah a shit ton of ads i guess you can call them that. Always trying to get me to watch thier preferred content. I don't mind some times they look good and i watch them on whatever other than Prime
mimi4sure this was merely a comparison between both streaming devices at the time. not saying that the Roku is the best out there, just when comparing them I found the Roku to be better that’s all. :)
You have to have a fast internet connection to enjoy any streaming device. I have the Roku 4K stick running on a 300mbps service over 5G wireless. It's awesome.
@@TheMasterblaster32 bringing up an item that's not even sold anymore is pretty irrelevant, especially since the fire stick doesn't have any lag issue at all anymore...
@@Chrxs_iso wtf and that means people don't have a first gen still why? Point stands the first one was a lag fest and the rest are shite as well. Peace out..
@@TheMasterblaster32 obviously a Roku fan boy so of course ur gonna be biased and say some irrelevant shit lol. Btw the Amazon fire stick 4k is faster .
You jus have to force close some of the apps u have open with that background app. You can get it on the Amazon store. After that it works like new, i didn't even reset cache. And my device is 3quarters of the way full.

Anything is better than an IR smart TV, what a pain in the ass that is.

Papo Pagan Hmmm....that’s a fair point 🤔
So how do you like the Roku vs. the fire stick? I have a fire stick tv and a fire stick now I need a 3rd device and I’m undecided
Just letting people know currently Amazon having a sale on the Amazon stick. August 2018
😒 those comments not helpful. Still undecided which one fast and slow
J.t. Selfmade TBH in my experience with both I found the Roku to be faster when switching from app to app

for the love of god it RO KU not RuKu
X X it is* Or it’s 😉
I couldn't agree more.
I have a Firestick which I purchased last year and it would freeze and go back to the home screen every time I watch Facebook videos.
MR. SOCIALLY AWKWARD omg I love you so much for that now I’m dead 😂😂😂

Can the fire stick work with the Roku tv
I’m not to sure since I’ve never had a Roku TV only the Roku stick. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help :(
Yeah, I got a Roku tv and I'm using the firestick on it right now. I only bought the tv because it was really cheap other then that fuck Roku lol.
So I see this is your most popular video. That's awesome! I've been trying to get to 50 subscribers before the end of the year. I achieved that goal yesterday and I'm happy. But hey Great video! My family always goes for Rokus lol.

Amazon Firestick won't install some apps like brittbox ect... without a prime membership. ROKU #1 Hands Down!
Great review! Thanks for sharing. Peace and Blessings to all!
are u freaking kidding me!!! U can sideload anything on Amazon! Cinema tv terrarium tv and like 20 other APK!! fire stick 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fire stick traaaaaash
@Exlaxchronicles what are they???
@Exlaxchronicles hook me up with some codes please. I have a roku TV
I subscribed and I hope this channel grows to become big.
Brunoplayz Thank you so much for the support and kind words means a lot to me 😊
MR. SOCIALLY AWKWARD no problem. Because I watched this video I decided to get the roku
Brunoplayz Lol I hope my advice was helpful
MR. SOCIALLY AWKWARD it was
Hahahahahaha!!! The sarcasm is on another level>

What is sarcasm
@@trueno432 the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.
Sucks I have to switch between both of them because Roku doesn’t have twitch tv and the amazon fire doesn’t have UA-cam. Unless it doesn’t stutter to bad on google then I’ll just use the amazon fire stick
it has youtube now just letting u know
I have you tube on mine. Always did.....
A fire tv out performs both of these easily. More ram, upgradeable storage, ethernet jack. I have 2 fire tv's and a couple fire sticks and I set up a roku for my friend and they dont come close to a fire tv.
Ryan Lockhart True but a fire TV also costs more.
Fire stick is $39.99. You can get a gen 3 firetv refurb for $34.99 off amazon right now.
Roku is way better because of it’s simple UI and it’s simplicity and uniqueness overall
What about ads? Doesn't Firestick puff out a lot more Amazon specific ads?
Yeah a shit ton of ads i guess you can call them that. Always trying to get me to watch thier preferred content. I don't mind some times they look good and i watch them on whatever other than Prime
And.... witch one is better?? I did not unserstand you !! 😒
Both have their pros and cons but if you have an Amazon account I would recommend the fire stick since it will be a lot easier to set up
Awesome your starting to show your personality it your videos 👍
Cooking With A Little Spice, I was tired
Lol you’re hilarious! Thanks for the vid

My opinion firestick is way better
But roku doesn't have showbox
Minoxidil Beard and hair products You might try getting an app called (movie box) or (Bobby movie) basically the same app but under a different name.
I just got the roku and I am returning it. It's slow and I just dont like it.
