-
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?
-
Missouri_Gamer (@ultramantis7) reported@Roku FoxOne on the Roku Channel does not work; Fox apparently cannot stream the games to Roku. It isn't Roku's fault, but why am I paying $20 a month?
-
Mitch (@MizNizzle) reported@hooplaDigital programming on @roku tvs has problems with closed captioning. Won’t display text. Happens across multiple TVs/setups. Can’t pause video either. Happens a lot.
-
FrancisCOM. (@fmarqueze) reported@roku now it turns out that if I don't have internet I can't watch broadcast TV. What a terrible system, I'll never buy a TV with Roku again.
-
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?
-
Marvin Barry (@GravelyKen48135) reportedThe Netflix button is way too close to the play/pause button on the Roku remote. Pls fix @Roku @netflix

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
-
Random Acts of Crochet Kindness (@stuckathomemom) reported@TucsonBlonde @Roku 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!
-
Matthew Smith (@MattSmithFOX13) reported@KirkYuhnke @MatthewKeysLive @Roku Our dumb TV is 10+ years old — biggest issue we’ve ever had: a volume button is a little touchy. We’ve swapped out smart tech multiple times, always on sale. Likely saved us a crazy amount of $$$ in a decade-plus.
-
Chunky Stardust 🏳️🌈🧀 (@ChunkyStardust) reportedHey @Roku @NFL you need to fix the nfl app it wont open. I have uninstalled and reset everything. Every year the nfl app is the worst app ever invented. I enjoy NFL plus but man you guys gotta make an app that works all the time for once.
-
Mario Banda (@largemarge707) reported@Roku just got home from work, sat down to watch the game on Peacock. But guess what. Your stupid widget had the France Spain score displayed. One of the last few world cup matches left to watch and your stupid home screen ruined it for me🤬🤬🤬🤬
-
1 (@dolphin4321) reported@Roku I've had a #Roku account for five plus years. Now I can't login/connect to My @amazonfiretv because of your ridiculous captcha and login failure. Ridiculous.
-
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.
-
Red Chem (@red_chem_lite) reported@SophiRene1 @Roku The dogs have Kongs with peanut butter and cheese, they have puzzles, they have toys and treats. They don’t touch the remote when we’re around. I put the remotes up when I’m done. This isn’t really a dog problem It’s a somebody else in my house doesn’t put the remote up problem.
-
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)
-
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!!!
-
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.
-
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!
-
Jon P (@BamaGrad00) reported@roku The new home screen is awful
-
Bryan Wayne (@mrhappybw) reported@BrianKemm @Roku Mine is the hdmi ports are corrupted and it is for sure on them as I tried different cable even used a different TV and no issue. If I unplug cables and do an audio/visual reset it will “fix” it for a day then it comes back. It is listed as known issue since update.

Niitefalls (@Niitefalls) reported@Roku AI bot trying to fix problems. lol

𝐌𝐫𝐃𝐫 𝑺𝒂𝒈𝑫𝒆𝒄𝑾𝒉𝒐 (@SagDecWho) reported@ThePriorityPod @Roku I can view my ROKU camera live but the events give errors and won't show In other apps, after a few hours it goes back to the home screen. They really screwed up all the devices apparently
-
Morticia (@Morticia121212) reported@tacooghost @Roku I've seen where others have watched the episode already. I was thinking it was a problem with the subscription through Roku TV that was the problem.

-
@Quendrith (@realQuendrith) reported@ParisHilton @Roku @DEADLINE Typos above, sorry, long day working… back channel reporting was the chase and follow type (refused that line of work, also turned down National Enquirer ps.) — point being, it was hellish trying to stay true to journalism while being groomed and encouraged to write trash then.

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.
-
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.
