The app is for Apple movie/TV purchases, Apple TV+, and Apple TV Channels.

If you want to stream from your computer, either hope Roku supports AirPlay in the future or purchase an Apple TV.
In March we heard how Roku was ready to rollout Airplay2. Instead we get this app, which only plays purchased content, no Airplay and apparently no local libraries.
Installed easily on my Sharp 50” Roku TV, but feel like there is no point if you don’t have iTunes store content.
