-
Democracy (@WambliTatanka) reportedI paid for @hbo through November and im not granted access saying I need to pay again. And your support feature doesn’t work!! What the actual F?! @Roku @TheRokuChannel
-
Anthony (@AnthonyAngelo99) reported@AgentAmish @FrndlyTV @Roku I agree. It’s been over a year and I’m not experiencing anything better with frndly. In fact lately I’ve been having problems with guide accessibility. And they just updated the home page with smaller icons and filled with suggestions I don’t care about and they’re in my way
-
Zakk Cornish-Fraser (@ZakkRyan) reported@swiftfairy_13 @DiscussingFilm @Roku I highly recommend any tv that doesn’t have a build in service like Roku. Many makers and retail chains can sell same models but last few numbers are dif so you get less quality out of it. There’s some fantastic options out there though
-
Rob Ables (@rables73) reported@MLB can you please fix your streaming app for @Roku and Apple TV so they don’t suck? EVERY SINGLE game I watch on ANY of my streaming devices stops at least 3-4 times per game with spinning circle of death. No other apps have buffering problems on my 1GB line and mesh WiFi.
-
whipofcords (@whipofcords) reported@TCL_USA @Roku these new updates suck! Fix it!!, now my tv just shuts off, when ever it wants!
-
Henhouse henry (@Henrywelch63) reportedHey @Roku I not happy right now! Tried to get an issue settled, and your AI assistant was no help. Tried to call corporate customer service, it said I might not even get a call back! REALLY!!!
-
Travis Lausch (@lauscho1) reported@RaceCanada_ca @TSN_Sports @Roku (realistically, I'm guessing there was some kind of error and one that was actually expertly quickly fixed... but still, that damn near made my heart stop)
-
alex (@alexsears97) reported@Roku This new update is TERRIBLE. Half of my apps are gone from my Home Screen and it's such a pain to find them again. Fire whoever thought of this
-
Woman Outside The Matrix (@CyberRodeoGal) reported@downdetector around 20 aps not working on @Roku that’s just my personal ones. :/
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
-
chelsea (@whataboutwaldo) reportedWhy is @Roku customer service the worst
-
SlowdownMemes (@PokeyTexan) reported@YouTube please fix the Jump Forward feature on your @Roku app. I don’t care whose end of the tech it’s on. I pay for three YT Premium, so that my kiddos don’t infect my feed or complain about what each other watch. I’ve told them “ give it a few days to patch it”. It’s been hell
-
Ritentune (@Ritentune) reported@Roku If you are experiencing some issues using TABLO, try hiding “Quick Access” and “Recommended Rows”. Both mess with the cache and sticking with the basic display seems to work much better. Trying to mess around with AI sometimes causes more problems than anything else!
-
Brian🇺🇸 (@BRH1776) reported@Roku I’m trying to cancel my subscription to @AngelStudiosInc every time I try to, tells me I got no subscriptions with you. I got a few. Angel says I can’t cancel because I gotta go through yall. 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?
-
George H Frost III (@ghfrost3) reportedSo I pay for a subscription on @Roku payment goes through they get the money. Subscription does not work. @Roku is good at taking the money but… that’s where their part ends taking the $$. **** doesn’t work and zero real support. You ******* suck and I’m going back to cable.
-
HockeyDad2A&Z (@HockeyDad2AandZ) reportedHey @Roku, no one asked you to do up the home screen. I used to be able to have HDMI 1 and 2 in the top row and now I have to go into the inputs to select them. That's stupid bullshit. I want my old home screen back. Not this fkng mess. Fix this.
-
CKAKRK (@CaitlinKazarian) reported@Roku your support sucks. It says it’s an agent but it’s just AI. Sent multiple screenshots and the “agent” didn’t even bother to open. Sick of paying for subscriptions that I can’t use on my tv. No one is of any help. Done with Roku and being charged for things I can’t access!
-
Buttery Duck (@Nauseum62) reported@Roku @meetatmidnights Doesn't work. All I get is the options to close or remove.
-
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?
-
Reality Bites (@realitybites_11) reported@Roku @RokuSupport your product is becoming unusable. Constantly unpairing the remote after exiting an app.
-
Jerry Arnett (@arnettjerry66) reported@Roku Trying to get ahold of Support on Roku is impossible anymore They have a chat section that doesn't work when pressed, I canceled my trial offer and still get charged for a month's worth! I think I'm going to have to end Roku now
-
Morticia (@Morticia121212) reported@tacooghost @Roku Well, they still never fixed it. It's a problem with the Roku TV version, I'm pretty sure. I went & got the free trial at Amazon video & it is on there! Yay!
-
Bryan Wayne (@mrhappybw) reportedIt took until July for me to get this “New” Roku Home Screen and it is awful. And reading the comments since @Roku rolled it out seems it has been awful for a month now. A two year could have done better. Reverse this ****.
-
CBJ (@chrisbjohns) reported@Roku one of your updates completely crashed my Roku brand TV. Any support tips? This seems to be a common issue in recent weeks.
-
Countrygirl (@Country2018gal) reportedI've been watching movies on the @Roku . The last 2 never showed the ending but immediately went to the next one in the app. What gives? I may stop watching those movies, if it continues to do that. Anyone else have that problem?
-
cats collectibles tcg (@Catscollecttcg) reported@Roku PLEASE HELP
-
KrisNVnmiP (@SophieMae1022) reported@red_chem_lite @Roku Try the bitter apple spray, it really deters some dogs from chewing specific items. A little of it rubbed on the remote might work. Also have you tried the ultrasonic sound deterrent? That stopped our dogs from bad behaviors. If you see them going near the remote press it. After a few times they should associate the remote with that unpleasant sound (that only they can hear!) Good luck
