People had various complaints about the software of the Roku 3, and it looks like the company has been paying attention, and they’ve decided to really improve things and get their act together, as they have done a lot with the software of the new device and have produced a model that not only lives up to expectations, but exceeds them as well.
According to some reviewers, the Roku 4 is actually a pretty solid device as far as its software is concerned, and it’s a bit ahead of the competition in some regards. At the same time, it’s not quite enough to justify its price.
The general verdict seems to be that people simply expected to see more from the device in various aspects. From the physical design (which shouldn’t be that important, but it’s still something that people pay attention to), to the additional features, the Roku 4 could use a bit of an improvement if the company is coming out with a new model soon.
People apparently expected a major upgrade with this device, something which it simply does not deliver, and according to some of the more positively charged reviewers who took a look at the Roku 4, the main problem lies with people’s expectations this time, not so much with the device itself and what it offers for the kind of price that it has.
