Kris G. (@Gundament) reported@Roku Hey can you guys fix a bug on your new Home Screen? When you click on the inputs from the home screen shortcuts, we are getting a green and blue lines all over the screen. But when we click the Inputs from the "Input List" tab, they work fine. Please fix in the next update.

Mike Bryant (@djmikebryant) reported@Roku please bring back the other Home Screen. This new one is awful. Thanks
-
Stella Sassier (@stella_sassier) reported@Roku for the love of GOD STOP CHANGING OUR HOME MENUS AND SETTINGS I did not need every single one of my tv input options forced into my app section with no way of removing them Your “help” is not appreciated
-
mmmhmmm (@bleezy_db) reported@Roku Please fix the home screen. At least make it to to where we can land on the screen that allows us to see all of our apps on one page.

TucsonBlonde 🇺🇸💙🌊 (@TucsonBlonde) reported@Roku So about that redesign…how about you stop repopulating my Quick Access section with crap I don’t want/have after I’ve removed everything I don’t want or use? You’ve done it THREE TIMES NOW, and I don’t appreciate having my time wasted as I go back in and delete everything but my YouTube App, which is all that I use on this TV! section with yet more channels I have never used, and shoved YouTube back to the end, again. later. So how do I fix this PERMANENTLY? You can put whatever you want to after the YouTube app, but It’s MY interface, you give us the option to customize it, and while it’s not life ending to have to click several times to get to what took 2 clicks before, it’s very aggravating and I don’t appreciate the level of arrogance that a company displays when they undo the changes I made to shove stuff I don’t want down my throat. I’d appreciate a response, this is ludicrous. So please, help

Meghan S (@DrMeghanS) reported@red_chem_lite @Roku My yorkie used to chew and we got bitters spray. That helped her a lot. Now she only chews on her toys. My other dog the bitters spray didn’t work as well but he eventually grew out of the chewing phase after a year or two. Maybe try the bitters spray on the remote cover?

tac0ghost 👻🇺🇲👻 (@tacooghost) reported@Morticia121212 @Roku The Roku sub shouldn't matter. Seems like an issue on their side.
-
Jacque and Matt (@theDIYvillage) reported@Roku Yeah, nope. Not being able to remove Live TV & Live TV Guide is a no go. Access to inappropriately aged content for kids is unacceptable. Money talks I suppose. Fix it.
-
Heather D. ♿ (@EarperMarine) reported@zfatcat2 @Roku I have seen other people mention issues with captions. It's only happening when using Roku and it's the same across my various Roku apps. 🙃
-
shareurmic (@shareurmic) reported@SomaKazima2 I’m ready to get rid of it anyway since the sound goes out a thousand times during a half hour show; and none of the ‘fixes’ work @Roku
-
Arlene (@zfatcat2) reported@EarperMarine @Roku Are other people having the same problem? It's a Roku and/or TV programming issue that affects the apps running on it. Jeez...what a pain...I'm sure. 😳
-
Mario Banda (@largemarge707) reported@Roku just got home from work, sat down to watch the game on Peacock. But guess what. Your stupid widget had the France Spain score displayed. One of the last few world cup matches left to watch and your stupid home screen ruined it for me🤬🤬🤬🤬
-
Travel Diva Lisa (@4TravelDivaLisa) reported@Roku and @Tubi Therearesome diehard fans of Babylon 5 like me that are very disappointed that neither of you have this show in your line up. Please fix this ASAP!!!

Hammer Hains, The Fud Dude (@HammerHeadcases) reported@Roku @Country2018gal We've had the same issue recently.
-
Heather Larson 955,703 (@WriterHeatherL) reported@SaThomas__ I get it with every “smart” tv. Roku, Google, the Amazon thing… they all stink. Same class. All annoying. @Roku is no different to me. I had no problems with OTA tv, js
-
Jinxsyns (@Jinxsyns) reportedThis is why I'm so pissed at @Roku and one of the examples i gave in my posts another multi billion dollar company that somehow can't get a website to work right yet has millions in testing hardware or at least millions available to test the site before rollout but thats too hard
-
Bryan Wayne (@mrhappybw) reported@Roku Man, this update totally screwed up my TV when it finally landed on my TV, the hdmi inputs keep screwing up for the cable box, isnt the cable or box because they work fine on other TV’s. Dog **** new home screen and this issue make me never want another one from y’all.

Ryan Paredez (@RyanParedez) reported@foxone @Roku the foxone app runs bad on the roku. Constant errors. Error:PL--28
-
Hugh Jorgen (@hughjorgen921) reported@Roku I have purchased numerous Roku devices, but all were purchased as appliances, not applications or services… your new home screen is quite possibly the worst intrusion of all. You are either assuming to know how we use our appliances, or you are spying on us. @DOJFraudDiv

steve (@steve48717445) reported@Hisense_USA @Roku Apps will just crash. Don’t get a Hisense. I have to get a new tv
-
Acme Pack (@acme1265packers) reported@Roku The problem is that Roku is getting a kickback for recommending shows that no one watches, plus we already know what they are going to watch.
-
King Kev (@Eat_Drink_Smoke) reported@red_chem_lite @Roku Did you try the anti-nail biting pen I mentioned last time? LoL I'm just INSANELY curious if it would work...
-
ᴄᴏʀɪɴɴᴇ ᴍʏᴇʀs (@Pythonette) reported@oletruckers1977 @Roku I certainly hope they have a problem with alt-Right hacks.

🌪Jeff Schipull🦌 (@ojkoj) reported@Roku my hdmi ports are being fucky. Please update your software to fix the issue. Its on multiple tvs.
-
Brian Kemm (@BrianKemm) reported@mrhappybw @Roku Boooo. Thanks for the intel. And, well, sigh. If I wanted to go through all the hassle (with no guaranteed fix), I’d just as soon start using a different brand if I have to log into everything again 🤡 These tech companies really are entirely out of their minds

The Diary Of A Social Gal (Stephanie Dolce) (@AxTheEx) reported@Roku how come I can’t create an account and I only have to sign in as a guest!? what kind of stupid set up is this?
