  • swimswithsnark Andi (@swimswithsnark) reported

    Is the @hbomax app making anyone else’s Roku crash every time you try to watch something? All advice on a way to fix it is welcome #hbomax #roku #crash

  • AmyandJoeValdez Amy and Joe Valdez (@AmyandJoeValdez) reported

    @Netflixhelps @netflix #Netflix Not working on computer, phone, roku, fire tv. Restarting everything didn't help. Other apps working but not Netflix. 😡

  • bellafortunate Julie Lynn (@bellafortunate) reported

    @Miss_Naste @hbomax Roku! Hmmm. I don't have an issue with any other service.

  • jasondorth Jason Orth (@jasondorth) reported

    @dirtvision (when you get time) any tips on not having to enter login credentials to the Roku app so often?

  • like2bikeSF Mike (@like2bikeSF) reported

    The Paramount+ app @paramountplus is trash, it never works — not on Apple TV, Roku, or iPhone. Navigating is a pain and the app seems to buffer endlessly

  • ff2b Travis Christley (@ff2b) reported

    @Roku @discoveryplus @SharkWeek Have a Roku in every room of the house and one to take back and forth to work. Need to upgrade the one in the livingroom to watch 🦈week! #SharkWeek #RokuSweepstakes

  • PaperdollIct Biden IS your President (@PaperdollIct) reported

    @petersapardi @Roku These things are a mess. Once a week or so I have to unplug it and plug it back in to fix all the bugs; and that goes for them both.

  • uhtredsonofuht7 uhtredsonofuhtred (@uhtredsonofuht7) reported

    @Cernovich @AmeliaImpulsive The Eschelon bike (Peloton rip off) is only 500 on Amazon and you can use it with Peloton classes by subscribing. It's a quality bike and the biggest difference is that it doesn't come with a screen but I watch classes on the Roku anyways so it works for me.

  • matthewclan Matthew C. 🖖🏻 (@matthewclan) reported

    The problem? That model of Roku was manufactured very briefly and is now discontinued. Consequently, people are charging exorbitant amounts for them—think $130 - $150. That's more than I'm willing to spend for this pet project. (5/7)

  • maudamanda maud amanda squiers (@maudamanda) reported

    @samorama blerg! the app will load but i get playback errors! and of course roku says it’s apple’s problem and vice versa

  • NoahMallin Noah sloppy steak summer Mallin (@NoahMallin) reported

    So both my Roku devices will not connect to my Wifi but every other device in my house does with no problem. What gives? This is going to mess up my Loki time.

  • RaceThisSorrow William T. Riker (@RaceThisSorrow) reported

    @hbomax your app runs like dog **** on Roku, please fix it.

  • ohh_trinnn trinn🦋 (@ohh_trinnn) reported

    lost my roku remote now the app not working im sickkkk

  • KWebb2018 Kelsey (@KWebb2018) reported

    Is there a known issue with #HBOMax on #Roku there’s movies that freeze like 42 (Jackie Movie) and a couple others seems the only thing I can watch without the app freezing is Friends @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp

  • petersapardi Pete Sapardi (@petersapardi) reported

    @PaperdollIct @Roku The @Roku sticks aren't much better. They overheat and glitch out or shut down. The regular box units are far better.

  • fjnnjake shade LOKI SPOILERS (@fjnnjake) reported

    i love hbo max but godDamn at least for me it Never seems to work on roku

  • Blabbit_ Bill (@Blabbit_) reported

    @JimeWhite @hulu For the first time in the history of these words they work. Unplug the device, let it sit for a bit and lug it back in. Netflix and Hulu both have buffer over flow errors on Roku that cause it to run crazy slow, stutter and crash. The hard reset helps.

  • DiavoloVitae Diavolo Vitae (@DiavoloVitae) reported

    @hulu_support please for the love of God fix the Roku build bug where I cannot fast forward or rewind at this pace I'm going to have to watch every single dragon ball intro 😐

  • fjnnjake shade LOKI SPOILERS (@fjnnjake) reported

    if hbo max could not be the absolute worst on the roku i would be so happy

  • prncesskaaay prince$a (@prncesskaaay) reported

    @graceetaylor yeah i have both roku 100%. after 4 years my firestick glitches and lags & i literally never use it anymore cause its basically unusable atp

  • PDelahanty Patrick Delahanty 😷💉💉 (@PDelahanty) reported

    @Stever_ca Thanks for letting me know. Looks like there was an error in the JSON file that the app reads. I've corrected it. The app should be fixed the next time Roku checks it...so probably a couple hours.

  • RickDennisAZ Rick Dennis (@RickDennisAZ) reported

    I would like to watch @discoveryplus but unfortunately it does work on @Roku players.

  • Chiya_20 💚🌺Chiya🌺💚 (@Chiya_20) reported

    @Natsukingofire Same I usually use my Roku or my PlayStation to watch Funimation. And for the Xbox issue I would suggest getting in touch with customer support and see if they can fix the issue because I had to do it all the time with my PlayStation.

  • ab_monster abbae 🐶 (@ab_monster) reported

    @Netflixhelps plz fix your problems with @roku before I cancel my subscription

  • Chilly1958Hill clyde.hill (@Chilly1958Hill) reported

    @hbomax way doesn’t your app work with Roku 👀peace

  • horngal Rosie Maria (@horngal) reported

    @WanWanAttack Our Roku got like this last year after only ever telling us to watch sao and madoka on Hulu for years. Awful

  • HeffernanChuck Chuck Heffernan (@HeffernanChuck) reported

    @TeamYouTube What good would it do to uninstall and reinstall (if I could because of Roku-YouTubeTV fight)? Like I said, it is on AppleTV and Roku. It appears to be either MSNBC or YouTubeTV problem NOT MINE!!!

  • V_5_V_5_V 🚴 (@V_5_V_5_V) reported

    @Djhottowns What stupid article. People is going to view more tv than play video games … only because he is long roku. And he is posting it everywhere… shorts are the only problem here.

  • Lil_Sxy mz.g_2017 (@Lil_Sxy) reported

    @Tubi My Tubi isn't working. Tried to watch a movie, and it freezes when loading. I've unistalled the app and reinstalled it, nothing happens. I unpluged my Roku device and still nothing. Wth is going on?. Is anyone else having issues?🤨

  • Miss_Naste Thyestian (@Miss_Naste) reported

    @bellafortunate @hbomax This may be a Roku specific issue. The software may have issues on that particular platform. Maybe try redownloading that particular roku app. I’m not hopeful that will work, but it might.
