When it comes to the UI and user experience, the Roku 4K Streaming Stick is relatively smooth. You can search for your favorite movies faster than other streaming devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick.

All popular streaming services, such as Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Disney+, and Apple TV+ are available on the home screen's quick access menu and the remote. The UI is more polished than others, which should improve the user experience.

Also, when you buy a new television, all your apps and programs in the Roku Streaming Stick will run the same way as they did in your old one. This is one of the benefits of a streaming stick over built-in smart TV features.
