-
Lee 🇺🇸 (@redneckleeusmc) reported@Roku joins the total enshittification gang with its trash update. User customizations, gone. UI is terrible, everything is high-friction, and there are more ads. This is for a device I pay for. It's hard to name a single thing in tech that hasn't gotten markedly worse in nearly every way the last five years. Windows. Mac. Linux. iOS. Google. Amazon. Netflix.
-
Connie Jeffus (@nikbus99) reported@Roku can't sign in. no email sent to reset p/w. can't find customer chat support. Please cancel free trial of Great Courses
-
Heather O'Brien✍️ (@RealHeatherOB) reportedI 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.
-
Charles Wirtz (@CharlesEWirtzJr) reported@espn and @Roku - I can’t access any content. I’m logged into all my accounts, including @Sling, uninstalled and reinstalled all the apps, factory reset the tv, but still can’t get past the get access screen. I get confirmation “success” when I log into through my phone. Help!
-
Jake K (@Jakewk) reportedOk @Roku I’m trying to watch Fracture on my Roku TV Channel and you have a perverse glitch that when I try to rewind for a short time, it sends me back to the first few minutes of the movie and when I try to get back to the spot, it makes me watch all the ads again. WTAF.
-
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…
-
Mary (@Fogatmidnight) reported@Roku Ghaaa......What did u do?! Update bad! Please don't fix what is not broke. Let user decide! 2 nights in find organize LOCAL ANTENNA channels, renam lil tile, now it's GONE! 😱 Where is it? Want on home screen! Hisense Roku TV
-
Matthew Keys (@MatthewKeysLive) reported@Roku UPDATE: I was proven wrong! The Roku TV in question suffered from a software bug, one that the company is aware of and is in the process of fixing. A small number of TVs experienced the glitch, and the company is working to address it. Roku's terrific customer support restored my faith in the company, and I'm so glad we don't have to replace this TV!
-
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!!!
-
Johnny Ryall (@FunkyBoss_) reported@amazonfiretv the new update is terrible. Fix this please before many of us switch to another streaming service. @Roku
-
cfMC FEROX (@cfmceroz1) reportedhey ******** @roku think you can fix this or what? @TheRokuChannel morons
-
UnfinishedOwl (@UnfinishedOwl) reportedman, @Roku has absolutely destroyed my TV. almost totally unusable
-
Tundrawalker⍟⍟ (@tundrawalker00) reported@TucsonBlonde @Roku Amen. If you can't find soccer without Roku's help, you need to be placed in assisted care.
-
MrRamone420 (@MrRamone420) reported@Roku It changed over today and it's absolutely terrible. Everything is all over the place and has messed up my apps and home screen. How do I change it back, cause I'm just getting rid of this TV and will avoid using Roku system and products. You know how to lose customers
-
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.
-
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.
-
Mare Loch (@Mare_Loch) reported@Roku Hey! Fix your closed captioning! Doesn’t even work on your own commercial channels. You know, the channels that show commercials every two minutes? Do you hate the hearing impaired or what?
-
Vakom Sunrunner (@VakomSunrunner) reported@Roku @RokuSupport Couldn't figure out where to report this but the episode order for The Transformers (1984) series is massively out of order. Not only are episodes not in the official chronological order, you've got season 2 episodes in season 1 and such. Please fix this.
-
Benji (@BenjiShaw7) reported@Roku Fix your new homescreen. Its takes almost a dozen button presses compared to 2-3. This update is ****. Fix it or give us the option before I replace this thing.
-
SportsTurfPro (@sportsturfpro) reported.@NFL @Roku app is repeatedly crashing this morning. HELP! 🏈
-
sandiek is in the skiiiieeesssss (@sandiek) reportedthe new @roku layout is so bad that I delayed tuning into the #worldcup to fix it back after it got dumped on me.
-
cats collectibles tcg (@Catscollecttcg) reported@Roku PLEASE HELP
-
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!
-
burownidl (@burownidl01) reported@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
-
Rob Ables (@rables73) reported@Roku Hi @Roku thanks but as I stated in the original post, it does it on all 4 of my Roku devices, so it is not a restart issue. Also, it is only the @MLB app. None of my other apps have this issue or other buffering. The MLB app does it multiple times per game and gets stuck.
-
alex (@alexsears97) reported@FehInsane @Roku Happening to me too. This update was terrible
-
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?
-
Kelly Jones (@skjones_65) reported@Roku your latest software update / redesign is quite bad. Is the intention to slow our devices down so we'll have to buy new ones? Please revert to the way it was or modify so our devices will not be so slow and almost unusable. New does not equal better.
-
Stepford Diana (@StepfordDiana) reported@Roku You've removed the option to cancel a paid app subscription on the new homepage I need help
-
Tom Foolery (@1nject0rX) reportedThank you @Roku I've been paying $70 a month to @DIRECTV for the exact same channels as you all and you have way less commercials and better quality. Thank GOD I found Roku
