TucsonBlonde 🇺🇸💙🌊 (@TucsonBlonde) reported@Roku So about that redesign…how about you stop repopulating my Quick Access section with crap I don’t want/have after I’ve removed everything I don’t want or use? You’ve done it THREE TIMES NOW, and I don’t appreciate having my time wasted as I go back in and delete everything but my YouTube App, which is all that I use on this TV! section with yet more channels I have never used, and shoved YouTube back to the end, again. later. So how do I fix this PERMANENTLY? You can put whatever you want to after the YouTube app, but It’s MY interface, you give us the option to customize it, and while it’s not life ending to have to click several times to get to what took 2 clicks before, it’s very aggravating and I don’t appreciate the level of arrogance that a company displays when they undo the changes I made to shove stuff I don’t want down my throat. I’d appreciate a response, this is ludicrous. So please, help

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

-
Arika ⸆⸉ ♡ (@arikajeannoel) reported@Roku This is TERRIBLE! How do I revert back to the old home screen. Literally no one asked for this
-
cyberale60 (@cyberale60) reported@Roku It’s terrible for people with vision issues. The icons are too small. It was better the way it was with the large icons
-
Osondu Esonwune (@OsonduEsonwune) reported@Roku I have done all but still the same problem
-
Ben (@Fly_Guy79) reported@Roku ya its terrible. where the save list go? terrible ui change. glitchy screen freezes. back up job nerds
-
phshbone (@phshbone) reported@Roku new layout is awful. Switching back to just individual apps on my smart tv
-
Jerry Young (@xprezJerry) reported@Roku This is possibly the worst update in recent history. I have disconected my ultra and using the built in Vizio apps now, that is how bad it is. Looking for better solutions elsewhere #roku
-
Ken Kallembach (@imken24) reported@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.
-
Maureen Imrie (@maureenmcmahon8) reported@Roku I hate it and will replace and purchase a non Rolu. New screen is awful!
-
Buttery Duck (@Nauseum62) reported@Roku It's terrible. Absolutely terrible. I should be able to arrange my home screen the way I want to.
-
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
-
not reida ✨ (@NotReida) reported@Roku the new update on the Roku tv is the worst **** I’ve ever seen and I hate you
-
Bob Rickert (@bobrickert) reportedTaking 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
-
Hugh Jorgen (@hughjorgen921) reported@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
-
Jesus's Flunky (@CrucifiedAgape) reportedDon't know whether it's my @TCL_USA @Roku TV or my @dish Hopper 3, but Lordy, I have to do a hard reboot on them nearly everyday to get them to work together.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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
-
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
-
Doc Myers (@JDMyers77397139) reportedI wish you two, @Roku and @Crunchyroll could work it out that I could watch my subscription when I'm away from home and my Roku t.v. Letting me watch on smartphone.
-
FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸 (@FuckThe_USA) reportedExactly what millennia Are you worthless *********** going to fix the ******* @roku software in my ******* @TCL_USA @Roku TV so that I don't have to ******* redo the ******* wireless connection every ******* time I turn the TV off and back on. I've been ******* tweeting and ******* putting this complaint on the ******* website for three ******* years you worthless *************.

Chris Miel (@Chris1John3) reported@Roku is not working this morning. Looks like it got hacked ? Anyone else ?

cats collectibles tcg (@Catscollecttcg) reported@Roku PLEASE HELP
-
Lee 🇺🇸 (@redneckleeusmc) reported@Roku @mohzam1997 Roll it back. Its awful.
-
Brett Bear (@MikeyBoom32) reported@Roku Roku asking for a private message is ridiculous. Roku knows exactly what the problems are as it has been widely reported and complaints are numerous. Almost no Roku owner has not been touched by the new update. Slow apps, apps that will not open, unable to download new apps.
-
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.
-
Johnny Ryall (@FunkyBoss_) reported@amazonfiretv the new update is terrible. Fix this please before many of us switch to another streaming service. @Roku
