What is Roku App?
If you are familiar with Roku devices, then you know that it helps you access live streaming apps on your smart tv. But if you own a Roku device(stick, dongle or box), then you may want to cast your smartphone with smart tv. Becasue if you are using apps like Cartoon HD, CotoMovies or CatMouse, then you’ll not be allowed to use them.
So to help users watch whatever they want via Roku, this app allows mirroring an Android device with a Tv. All you have to do is install this free from the Google Play Store on your device and enabling the mirroring service from the app. Thereafter, open a video that you want to cast and start watching it on your Tv.

Yes, that’s the only problem with the Roku app. You can only use it to watch movies & tv shows, but nothing else.
