    Why isn’t @AppleTV working on @Roku since whatever stupid Roku redesign/update they did? By the way Roku, no one asked for that nonsense. Leave things alone when they work!

    Taking out the remainder of my Amazon Fire Cube controllers @amazon I have 3 and I thought they would all work well. Tried one Roku Stick and it is a much better experience. Too much advertising and useless stuff on Fire Cube plus it never really worked that well with You Tube TV. @Roku

    @Roku It's terrible. Absolutely terrible. I should be able to arrange my home screen the way I want to.

    @Roku please bring back the other Home Screen. This new one is awful. Thanks

    @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

    @oletruckers1977 @Roku I certainly hope they have a problem with alt-Right hacks.

    @Roku @RokuSupport This was not worth the awful updates you made to this tech. I can't even organize my inputs anymore

    @Roku dipshits, your new "backdrops" screensaver doesn't work. It just hangs on the splashscreen on Roku TV #incompetent

    @LeetOffice @Roku Someone just posted this How to FIX your #ROKU home screen: Go into: -Settings -Home Screen -Recommendation Rows ---> set to HIDE -Quick Access ---> set to HIDE Now everything is back to normal!

    @Roku Give us Photo Streams back! Backdrop is terrible. Doesnt autostart when idle.

    @Roku I will NOT send a DM so you can ignore me there. Solve the problem here in public so anyone with the same issue can find a solution.

  • chrisbjohns

    @Roku one of your updates completely crashed my Roku brand TV. Any support tips? This seems to be a common issue in recent weeks.

  • imken24
    Ken Kallembach (@imken24) reported

    @Roku Nevermind. Not only do you refuse to help, but you completely reformat the home screen to “suggest” 20 different apps or shows and only show 1/3 of my installed apps so I have to search for them. You’re useless. **** off. Buying Firesticks Saturday.

  • bleezy_db
    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.

    @Roku @Country2018gal We've had the same issue recently.

    @red_chem_lite @Roku You need a zapper for when they touch it, they will learn which. Our friends have two boxers that were like this and within the week they were broken.

    I have had it with @Amazon Fire Stick. I have a subscription to Shudder and Starz. I can no longer play them without buying a new subscription thru Amazon. I have a @Roku TV upstairs and have no issues playing my subscriptions. Today I ordered another Roku controller for downstairs. Shame on you Amazon. Bye fire stick. Just warning anyone who is thinking about fire stick.

    @Roku @TheRokuChannel @foxone For anyone following and has the same issue. I contacted Roku support via their website and chatted with online support. It looks like they fixed my problem as I can see the Worldcup pregame show now

  • PrismaticOwl
    Isabella Valentine (@PrismaticOwl) reported

    I generally just let the @Roku screensavers scroll while I do other stuff, but I think it got an update recently because the Roku City screensaver just flat does not work anymore. It's a black screen. Back button doesn't work. Gotta use the Home button to return to the menu.

    @Roku @norcal06warrior Roku I’m having the same issue on the Netflix app on my Roku tv

  • RealHeatherOB
    Heather O'Brien✍️ (@RealHeatherOB) reported

    I have no idea what anyone else thinks, but @Roku's new Home Screen adds are awful!! There is NO way to remove the adds. All they do is clutter up the screen. I've used Roku for over a decade. Bought several, including for others - just loved them. Now? They're so annoying, I may need to find an alternative. It's just not for me. And they don't even let me "hide" them. Not cool. I neither need nor want all this junk.

    @Roku ya its terrible. where the save list go? terrible ui change. glitchy screen freezes. back up job nerds

    @Roku Who do I need to contact about an issue with a commercial on your service? My mother saw an ad for a assistance card, and since she did that, she has been getting non stop spam calls meaning a commercial on YOUR service sold her phone number.

  • ashubert
    A Shubert (@ashubert) reported

    @roku @YouTube problem with private listening on iPhone app. If you get a call, or switch to IG for a minute, anything that requires sound, YouTube will pause and then when you close whatever that app is YouTube resumes but automatically restarts the video from the beginning.

  • Nauseum62
    Buttery Duck (@Nauseum62) reported

    @Roku @meetatmidnights Doesn't work. All I get is the options to close or remove.

    Is anyone else having issues with @Roku ‘s app?

  • sandiek
    sandiek is in the skiiiieeesssss (@sandiek) reported

    the new @roku layout is so bad that I delayed tuning into the #worldcup to fix it back after it got dumped on me.

    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

    @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
