There are currently 70 million songs on the app, but new ones will be added each time a new music video, album or song is released, so you can stay up to date with the latest hits. The app will be launching on Sky Q, Fire TV, Android TV and Google TV on supported Sony Bravia, Philips and Panasonic and Toshiba TVs, with support for Samsung TVs coming soon. There are also 90,000 karaoke songs available, which do not include the music videos: a handy bar counts down to the start of the singing, while the lines are highlighted as they are sung. Should you have slow WiFi, expect the timing to be out, however. Other features

ROXi Premium offers a number of upgrades over a standard ROXi subscription, including no ads, unlimited on-demand searches and skips, extended music games – and an extended karaoke catalogue.

The interface is dark with headers across each tab, album and playlists. On the left side are tabs such as Playing, Search, Home, Channels, My Music, Karaoke and Games. The majority of these are self-explanatory, such as Playing, Search, Karaoke and Games.

My Music, meanwhile, is where you can find your playlists and favourited songs. Overall, the ROXi Karaoke Mic is definitely more of a novelty than a practical addition to ROXi’s karaoke feature. It’s fun to use as a prop and I enjoyed messing around with the echo, but don’t expect it to carry your voice in a crowded room or to last you the whole night. Music streaming hardware start-up Electric Jukebox launched in its home UK market in 2016 before rebranding to ROXi in 2017. A portable entertainment console including a microphone – which we reviewed in 2020– is still available. This review is for the app version of ROXi. Platforms

As far as navigation is concerned, I found it to be very intuitive and easy to find everything, though I can’t necessarily see myself getting use out of all the tabs, such as the Games tab. It can be tough to tell which album you’re selecting as all four images flash as you play the game, which can lead to silly mistakes. However, its a simple and fun party game and the inclusion of a scoreboard means you can challenge friends and family to claim the top spot on your account. Microphone
