You are paying for monthly subscriptions you do not need. You can stream hundreds of movies, shows, and fitness classes on your Roku device for free.
- Install The Roku Channel to access a library of free movies and TV shows alongside their paid content [0:26]. Keep an eye out for the dollar sign icon, which indicates paid movies or content that requires a separate subscription trial.
- Add the Tubi app to your device for a wide selection of free movies and TV shows [1:25]. You will see ads during playback, but the entire library is free to watch.
- Install Pluto TV and set up an account to start streaming their live channels and on-demand movies [1:58]. Their service is supported by ads, so you never have to pay for a subscription.
- Download the FitOn app to access a variety of free fitness classes and health programs. You can choose from different workout types, like bodyweight or HIIT, to follow along with a guided coach at home.
Ninja Tip: You can often find additional free content by browsing the “Free” section directly in the Roku home screen menu, which aggregates ad-supported movies and shows from various apps in one place.
If these apps are not performing correctly, you can perform a factory reset by navigating to Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Factory reset.
