Hi, everyone !!
Having mentioned in my 'Weekly RoundUp' post from last week that, further to the suspension of my Twitter Account: @ukrokuchannels (as reported two weeks ago today), I was hoping to establish a new presence on social media by the time I wrote this post... I'm afraid to say my social media plans will have to remain on the back burner for (at least) two more weeks, while I continue to catch-up on the "missing" entries in the Roku UK Channel Store Listings from these pages. Of course, full details for the "missing" channels have all been published on 'Blogger' already (as part of my regular posts) but, since I'm still in the process of doing a complete "audit" to update the individual list(s) of each channel store genre (i.e. category) you will have to bear with me while I finish this task before they are searchable via the individual category listings. Needless to say, once all of the updates have been completed, I'll then turn my attention to restoring a presence on social media - meanwhile, stay tuned to this blog for further updates on that - but, with no other Roku-related news to share this week, I'm now going to get straight into bringing you details of all the latest new Roku channels (apps) which have been released during the seven days since my last 'Weekly RoundUp' post was published! :-)
Firstly, though, I'd just like to mention (on a not entirely un-related note) that I have now added links to some (though, still not all) of the 'Roku Guide' reviews that were previously "missing" for many of the new Roku channels released in the last few weeks... so, if you'd like to see an independent appraisal of those, be sure to check-out my post from last week (see link above), which (itself) contains a link to the previous week's post (and so-on, and so-forth), for details of where to find them. Unfortunately, there are (again) more "missing" links to the 'Roku Guide' reviews for every single one of the channels published during the last seven days... which means, much like many other posts from recent months, I'm going to have to leave it for each of you to (once more) access those details on your own. As of three months ago, you can choose to do that either via the built-in channel store on your Roku device(s)... or else, by following the links provided in each post to the relevant channel description(s) from the Roku Web Channel Store. Meanwhile, once the "missing" reviews have been published by 'Roku Guide', I will (as I have done previously) ensure that I add the relevant links to each post. Apologies (as always) for any inconvenience that may be caused by the absence of active links to an independent review for all of these new apps but, like I say, it was entirely out of my hands. Hopefully they will get a chance to catch-up on them sometime in the coming week!?! ;-) :-)
Still, back to the list... which, as always, will help you to identify the very latest apps that have been added to Roku devices in the UK. Other websites offering Roku channel listings will base their contents on the Roku USA Channel Store, which means they also include apps that are unavailable to UK Roku users. So, like I've said before... if you really want to know what's available channel-wise, for owners of Roku devices in the UK, you need to be reading this blog each and every week! ;-) :-)
With twice the number of active links to check out, not just for this week... but each and every post that has been previously published as part of my 'Weekly RoundUp' series over the last five years, there's a *lot* of reading to catch-up on. So, without further ado, here's my 'Weekly RoundUp' of all new Roku channels released between 29th April 2018 and 5th May 2018:-

SOBEKICK ONLINE......COST: FREE (14-day trial) + $29.00 (MONTHLY) [Roku Guide Review]
***FILED UNDER: "FITNESS" in the Roku UK Channel Store WHEN FIRST RELEASED***
PLEASE NOTE:- That, although this 'Sobekick Online' channel is FREE-TO-ADD to Roku devices and does allow for the entire video library to be browsed without the need for any form of payment, those wishing to view the content should be aware that A SUBSCRIPTION IS REQUIRED in order to access the videos, and without one you will be unable to stream any of the content therein. That said, there is a 14-DAY FREE TRIAL AVAILABLE for those opting to sign-up through the official website of the Sobekick Gym online with significant savings to be made by anyone who chooses to pay for twelve months in advance (see screenshot below). Oddly, it is not possible to start a free trial via the 'Sobekick Online' channel itself... but you can subscribe via the Roku app without a free trial! :-O :-/
HINT:- Please CLICK on the above image TO ENLARGE IT for easier viewing !!
As can be seen from the above image... when it comes to choosing a payment plan, on registering for your 'Sobekick' membership, you have the option of taking-out their MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION at a cost of USD $29.00 PER MONTH or the ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION for $199.00 PER YEAR. Whichever of their membership plans you choose, the benefits are the same... however, those who pay for a whole year upfront will (effectively) reduce their monthly fee to around $16.58 per month and that almost halves the cost of subscribing to these live and on-demand fitness classes! :-O :-D
In addition to reading the 'Roku Guide' review of this 'Sobekick Online' channel (see link above) to get a complete breakdown of the individual categories for the various fitness routines available, there is more information to be had from the official website of the 'Sobekick Online' channel. However, if you prefer, it is also possible to connect with 'Sobekick Online' via Twitter: @SobekickGym as well as through their official FB page: Sobekick Gym (Facebook) with any additional questions and/or comments you may have about their service. Either way, I'm sure they will be only too pleased to hear from you... just be sure to tell them where you first heard about their Roku channel! ;-) :-)

REAL STORIES PLUS.........COST: FREE (7-day trial) + $4.99 (MONTHLY) [Roku Guide Review]
***FILED UNDER: "WEB VIDEO" in the Roku UK Channel Store WHEN FIRST RELEASED***
PLEASE NOTE:- That, although this 'Real Stories Plus' channel is FREE-TO-ADD to Roku devices and does allow for the entire video library to be browsed without the need for any form of payment, those wishing to view the content should be aware that A SUBSCRIPTION IS REQUIRED in order to access the videos, and without one you will be unable to stream any of the content therein. That said, there is a 7-DAY FREE TRIAL AVAILABLE for those opting to sign-up for their lower tier package - in the shape of a MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION at a cost of USD $4.99 PER MONTH - as well as a 2-MONTH FREE TRIAL for those choosing the ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION OPTION at a total cost of USD $41.99 PER YEAR when paid upfront in full. Clearly, there are significant savings to be made by anyone who chooses to pay for twelve months in advance... but, in addition to reading the 'Roku Guide' review (see link above) for a complete breakdown of the individual categories into which this collection of award-winning and compelling documentaries has been sub-divided, I would also recommend paying a visit to the official website of 'Real Stories' for further details, so as to be better informed about what to expect from the service prior to subscribing. Of course, there is also the option to connect with 'Real Stories' via social media... both on Twitter: @RealStoriesDocs, as well as through their official FB page: Real Stories Channel (Facebook) with any additional questions and/or comments you may have about their service. Whichever line of communication you choose, however... be sure to tell them where it was that you first heard about their Roku channel! ;-) :-)
