Top free apps for Roku

Cord Cutters News has a good rundown on what it calls the top ten free apps for Roku.

This is a good list. What would I suggest that is different? Let's look at Luke's list:

  1. Roku Channel
  2. Freevee
  3. Tubi
  4. Crunchyroll
  5. Kanopy
  6. Filmrise
  7. Pluto TV
  8. Xumo Play
  9. Local Now
  10. Plex

The only one I would omit is Crunchyroll, but that's because I don't watch Anime. Also, I may omit Kanopy, as it is only recently available to me, and I haven't used it as much as I have the others. However, everyone that has it says good things about it.

The others? Sure. Those are eight good choices. To round it out, I'd put Sling/Freestream (Freestream is the service, through the Sling TV app) on the list. I'd also put Peacock TV on the list. While it is a paid service, there is a free tier that has around half of the total library.

The order is pretty good, though I'd put Plex higher. Oh, and Pluto TV would be higher. Other than that, it's a good list. My Streaming Life includes the eight I said, with Kanopy recently added, along with the two suggestions I made. There are plenty of free options. Save some money and check them out.
