    Periodic Audio: Mobile First Hi-Fi 🏴‍☠️ (@periodicaudio) reported

    Not to mention, @roku, an app I PAID FOR was deleted and there's no way to reinstall without buying it again. Where do I send the bill to, so you can reimburse me? Seriously you have a great system, but your updates are horribly broken and ruin the system.

    @Roku system keeps crashing. This is a new issue as of today.

  • URNTRBL

    I have no pictures on any @NBCSports @nba on my @Roku right now. All other apps work!

    Crunchyroll has the worst roku app ever. At this point they are better off not offering it at all

  • MattPierceblog
    Matt Pierce (@MattPierceblog) reported

    This entire @F1 and @Apple agreement has been fine broadcast wise but it's this entire bullshit around it being forced into another subscription, lagging latency when using a smart TV, and crap. Just give me my F1 app on @Roku with a single sign in and one reasonable subscription

    @Ask_Spectrum is there a problem with the spectrum app on Roku and the cell phone?

  • Witchmaster
    Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported

    @Roku @caseyrosewilson Latest update on Roku has brought on tons of issues. Can't remove finished listings from continue watching, completing episodes goes on to random programs, etc. And periodically it just resets itself. How about rolling back to stability?

    @Roku fix your ESPN app please. Tired of the games going backwards and freezing up.

    @paramountplus @ufc is not working on any @Roku devices. Works perfectly on my iPhone. Figure it out! I’ve completed all troubleshooting possibilities.

    @fuboTV @Roku @AskAmex Amex, fuboTV and Roku will not cancel my subscription. They each say via bot chat that the other has to do it. But no one will. Can you just block payment? Or where/how can I get help to cancel my subscription?

  • HippieChic82
    Watermelon Sugar (Bisan's version) (@HippieChic82) reported

    Never mind a 3 hour #SmackDown whatever is going on with @verizon or my @Roku TV. I can't get rid of this damn playback error. I even did a whole damn factory reset to my TV and still getting error code PLYB_122 for over a month. My TV is BARELY 5 years old.

    Hey @hulu_support I am unable to log In and your chat folks actually hung up on me. I have not moved yet your app says I have. I do not have this issue with any other app on @Roku . #customerservicefail

    @Roku hey guys if you could fix your ******* app every time when I'm listening to music on my phone through the app it disconnects so how about you guys get off your *** and fix the ******* app thank you.

    @DisneyPlusUK hi there, is there still a problem with your systems? I tried for 4 hours to cancel my subscription and was sent in circles by @Roku and Disney. Eventually a member of staff on your online chat told me to try later because he couldn't get into the system.

    @NonFactorFGC I can help you get YTP on your IOS Roku is out of my expertise I usually just use anything that supports airplay

    @Hisense_USA Installed @Roku app to @GoogleTV U7 and when I record to existing Tablo drive, Tablo error = "CANNOT RECORD, DRIVE IS FULL". Had to uninstall #ROKU app and power all off, on to fix. Tv confused.

    @Roku @RokuSupport NEED HELP! - My subscription support ticket (#13949322) was escalated but I haven’t received any updates. Can someone please check the status and advise on next steps?

    @rumblevideo I have a brand new @Roku tv and can’t watch your podcasts on any speed but 1 fix that ****!

  • RichiePuregains
    Richie (@RichiePuregains) reported

    Don’t ever buy @Roku theyre making junk that’s overpriced significantly. Every tv I have their POS products to use for @GetSpectrum has problems. By problems I mean everything they have including the most basic functions frequently do not work.

  • ServiceDogAcdmy
    Mary McNeight (@ServiceDogAcdmy) reported

    @Roku What the HECK did you do to live tv pause? There is no way to fast forward and see where you are in the program. You’ve literally broken the best feature of having a Roku TV.

  • Smoke3x
    (Rebəl) Shane (@Smoke3x) reported

    @Roku your @espn app is STILL screwed up! Y’all need to fix it!

  • ManuteSwol
    Jason (@ManuteSwol) reported

    @Roku Are you guys having some kind of outage? One of my devices failed to update... I factory reset it and now cannot add Apps. Your web site says there is a known issue. How about an update?

  • Ann_Elyse
    Ann_Elyse (@Ann_Elyse) reported

    @hulu_support Hulu live is down AGAIN on all platforms - Roku, app, etc. I've tried all of your steps and nothing works . . . the problem is on your end not the customer!

  • SLnat

    @Roku you’ve got to do something about your remote control design. It’s terrible! The buttons don’t depress well, they roll and often require pressing multiple times to make a selection. Take a page off Xumo, Apple TV or FireTV. Redesign your remote!!

    @Verizon hey, why does my home internet default to a different location then I’m at? I cant get my @watchfoxone to work correct because it’s giving me Chicago as my local news, not Milwaukee! How can I fix this? I updated my correct address on @Roku

    @Roku I had the worst experience with Aileen in support chat. She was very rude and unhelpful. I love Roku but this is making me very unhappy. I have an overheating device and she said she had to confirm it was overheating before she could help. I mean im telling her. 😞

    Ugh. What did @Roku do to their interface? It is unusable.

    @slinganswers Suddenly #Sling FreeStream on #Roku has this msg: "11-6 Looks like a #location issue. 1)Make sure you aren't on VPN; 2) Enable location services if they aren't on (mobile devices only)" Neither issue is valid. I am in Md USA. Please fix this. 😠 cc @Sling @Roku
