I've used this Roku app on my Samsung Galaxy S23+ (Android 14) for over a year. It always started up quickly. But since the last update (4/19/24), it takes over 1 minute to load. During that time, all I see are pulsing gray tiles. If I close the app and restart it, it takes just as long to load again. I've cleared the cache & reinstalled the app, but no change. This is unacceptable!

If I could give it a 2½ I would. I've been using this app for over 2 yrs+ now, and until recently it was usually fine. Lately though, it's been very slow loading when I bring the app up on my phone, and the ads are very intrusive, as they play sound & video. This could even be the cause of the slow load time perhaps? It would be great if these issues were remedied.

More than half the time, the device doesn't connect. It tells me to check to make sure my TV is plugged in and to make sure my devices are all on the same wifi network. TV plugged in, network connected, yet after all these years, the very thing the app was designed to do, still can't do it. I'll just use the universal remote I bought. Would be nice if TV remotes came out in a normal size instead of Napoleon dick-size small.
