Say, "Hello," to, "Howdy," is the first line/introduction I thought up regarding Roku's new streaming service--which is named, "Howdy." I tried to concoct other snappy openers, but that was the best one. That said, "Howdy," does seem kind of neat. Roku makes devices and televisions that are great for streaming various apps or television services. They have their own channel with ads accompanying the programming as well. With the launch of Roku's new app, "Howdy," you can stream various movies and shows for $3 a month. Yes, it is that cheap.
Roku has emphasized that this new streaming service is meant to complement other ones and not replace them, hence being less expensive than a large cup of coffee at Starbucks. The price is a bit astounding in an era where everything seems to be costing more. Now, "Howdy," doesn't have everything, but it has something you're bound to like, is the idea. You can get it on any Roku device/television or stream it on a computer, so it isn't like it is hard to access, either.
I tried, "Howdy," out because it is only three smackers and was pleased with what I found. The menu screen is pretty straightforward, like your other streaming apps. It has various themes, and you can always search for something specific or, "Like," something to watch later/presumably help the algorithm know more stuff to recommend. I watched a chunk of, "Malibu's Most Wanted," because it is hilarious and clever--the app worked perfectly. This app is not going to replace your big names, but it has zero intention of doing so. If anything, "Howdy," could be an interesting first step towards a category between expensive streaming services and the increasingly popular FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming Television) options. Not a deluxe resource for new movies or high-budget original content, but for a small fee, a little more is provided than with PLUTO or Tubi. We shall see if people are into, "Howdy," or say, "Goodbye," to it. I'm sorry, my brain really is fried with the end of Summer.
