1980s Boxing (@80sBoxing) reported@Roku It's awful. More clutter I do not need and I need to click down just to get to all of my apps. Simple and streamlined is always better. Why are you trying to fix things that aren't broken?
-
Yehuda @ Y10Tax (@Y10Tax) reported@TCL_USA @Roku @RokuSupport Is it typical that bugs can crawl into your screens? any chance you can help me out here?
-
Viv🥀✨ (@xx_viv_xx) reportedAnyone else having an issue with their @TheCW on @Roku ??? It keeps crashing for me
-
Bryan Wayne (@mrhappybw) reportedSo @Roku just not going to address the issue they cause on the TCL and I assuming other TV’s with that horrible update or fix it? I am tired of having to reset things to get i to recognize the HDMI ports or them not be corrupted every day since.
-
DenyTheMarkClub™ (@DenyTheMarkClub) reported@Roku tv is by far the WORST! They are unstable and CANNOT manage their Products...I want my money back on this JUNK!!! (NOTE to self: Buy ANY product other than ROKU)
-
Frog Salsa (@FrogSalsa7625) reported@Roku Dear Roku. Please fix the HDMI issue with Playstation 5! Ever since your new 'improvements', my TV shows a blank screen and repeated attempts cause it to crash and reboot. Also, I hate that I cannot control the way I want the home screen to appear the way it was before.
-
trapuh (@trapuh) reported@Roku Problem started July 5th I’ve tried everything, sound still works but tv screen is still like the picture above, I’ve seen on Reddit that your tvs do this to plenty of people i don’t think anybody has a fix for it yet
-
John Joseph Bonforte (@BonforteJohn) reported@Roku Problems since the update: 1. Sound goes away for DVD player. 2. Sometimes DVD player will no longer play to TV. Restarting fixed it temporarily - until today. 3. Spontaneous resolution changes after a sleep timer is used. 4. Trouble communicating with cable box.
-
Andrew Staten (@AndrewStaten) reported@TCL_USA @Roku So, is there really no way to go back to the old home screen UI? I don't get why companies feel the need to change things that aren't broken. More often than not, they get worse with new UIs.
-
alex (@alexsears97) reported@Roku This new Home Screen is terrible
-
AWholeLotofMeh (@AWholeLotOfMeh) reported@Roku having subtitles issues continuing into 2026 on streaming services is enough of a reason to move to another platform. The UI is great but come on, it’s been years now.
-
call it ump (@playball8000) reported@Roku @ASStrogurl24 @Roku you all need to work with charter spectrum on the spectrum app because it has lots of glitches. There's not an app that glitches anywhere close to the spectrum app. FYI
-

DonJuan391 (@DonJuan391) reportedWhy is the @AMC_TV plus app not working on @Roku AMC Plus not working on Roku TV has been a problem for a while now.
-
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.
-
Joe Kimray (@JoeKimray) reportedWow - this new @Roku Home Screen update they forced on everyone is one of the worst technology “upgrades” ever. Lost the ability to customize the Home Screen - and they added a lot of apps no one wants, that you can’t remove. Horrible decision - the customer is always last…
-
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
-
Novangelus (@MLandry70) reportedAre there any good music apps that work on @Roku? Because the @amazonmusic app just plays completely random songs no matter which song I actually select.
-
Mike Bryant (@djmikebryant) reported@Roku please bring back the other Home Screen. This new one is awful. Thanks
-
Patsy Stone (@ItIsPatsyStone) reported@Roku You should be concentrating on making your site work. The app doesn't work & your website doesn't work either
-

-
Sergio Olarte (@repeye) reported@RokuSupport @Roku paying for your home monitoring service but your Entry Sensors have been out of stock for TWO YEARS. Frontline support has no answers. I need an escalation manager to contact me about hardware availability. This is a security system, please help.
-

Nomadic Aaron ✝️ (@AaronWL42) reported@Hisense_USA So I call Hisense and they were helpful but didn't fix the problem. They referred me to @Roku support. After a brief time on the phone with them the issue was corrected. Both were helpful which frankly is surprising these days.
