-
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!

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.

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!
-
TheBarbequePit (@BarbequePit) reportedStill no help on this btw @Roku
-
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
-
Buttery Duck (@Nauseum62) reported@Roku It's terrible. Absolutely terrible. I should be able to arrange my home screen the way I want to.
-
Random Acts of Crochet Kindness (@stuckathomemom) reported@Roku @Ka_Le_Jo 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!
-
Lord Sammy Gato (@lordsammygato) reported@Roku Wow, those changes to the app are terrible! Thanks! 👍
-
Maureen Imrie (@maureenmcmahon8) reportedThis new @Roku Home Screen is awful! How can I opt out? Put it back , new upgrade is horrible.
-
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
-
Fletch will return in Avengers Doomsday (@IMFletcher2) reported@BigKorn80 @Roku That doesn't work now.
-
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
-
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.
-
Lee 🇺🇸 (@redneckleeusmc) reported@Roku @mohzam1997 Roll it back. Its awful.
-
Reality Bites (@realitybites_11) reported@Roku @RokuSupport your product is becoming unusable. Constantly unpairing the remote after exiting an app.
-
Sparky McGraw (@McgrawSparky) reported@Roku Yea i do that all the time…. It’ll work for 1-5/10 turn ons then back to having to manual connect, or restart
-
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
-
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.
-
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?
-
Peter Jones (@Peter_B_Jones) reported@Roku after being a long time customer for over 15 years and bought over 15 devices from you, the best you can offer is 30% off when one of your most expensive devices stops working because of a hardware issue?!?! Not to mention terrible customer support!!!
-
Stella Sassier (@stella_sassier) reported@Roku for the love of GOD STOP CHANGING OUR HOME MENUS AND SETTINGS I did not need every single one of my tv input options forced into my app section with no way of removing them Your “help” is not appreciated
-
Lt. Broccoli - Parody 🥦 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 (@Tommy2legs) reported@Roku fix everything about the new OS! I mean why is the only option on quick access to remove something!? Why can't they be moved? What the heck!?
-
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 *************.
-
@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.
-
RightSideRobert (@robert23190) reported@red_chem_lite @Roku FORENSIC LAB REPORT Case: REM-2026-0729-FTV Date: 29 July 2026 Sample: Damaged Amazon Fire TV remote Analysis: Bite marks are human, not canine. Dental features match standardized U.S. Army dental work (military-style restorations and wear patterns). Conclusion: Damage caused by a human with prior U.S. Army dental treatment. No dog involvement.
-
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
-
Jon P (@BamaGrad00) reported@roku The new home screen is awful
-
AWholeLotofMeh (@AWholeLotOfMeh) reported@Roku having subtitles issues continuing into 2026 on streaming services is enough of a reason to move to another platform. The UI is great but come on, it’s been years now.
-
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
