Rick Mclane (@oletruckers1977) reported@Roku Nope didn’t do anything just got up turned it and had to login AGAIN. Doesn’t make sense don’t have trouble with anything else with ur system
-
chinedu🦀 (@chinedu_10) reported@Roku is there a reason why your devices stopped connecting to WIFI? And is this a regional issue? I could connect to the Hotspot on my iPhone. But I can’t connect WIFI to the device. I’ve tried multiple WIFI from different ISPs.
-
PureBlood86 (@MAGAPureblood86) reported@Roku WTF?! Remote control batteries go dead every 2 weeks. Can we fix this? I've never seen anything like this in my life. Multiply this times 4 ROKU tvs in the house. Getting ridiculous. Is Amazone Fire any better? anybody chime in. Thx,
-
Shakingmyhead (@mitchroachmr2) reported@paramountplus @ufc is not working on any @Roku devices. Works perfectly on my iPhone. Figure it out! I’ve completed all troubleshooting possibilities.

Todd (@twchristensen) reportedDear @Roku @rokuone I have been nothing but a fan and advocate, until now. Your last update is atrocious. I don’t know who your UX/UI team are or what they were thinking, but they got this all wrong. I could not be more unhappy. You turned one click into 3 or 4. How could that have ever been your goal? Who approved this? It’s just absurd. I will be looking for alternatives because that’s how bad you’ve broken this. And don’t think I didn’t notice that you continue to jam Howdy down my throat. I have deleted it every time, why would you continue to force us to have that channel when we say we don’t want it? It is clear to me that Roku no longer cares about what the customer wants - the death spiral of just about every company that has ever existed. You ruined a good thing. It is going to have unforeseen consequences, starting with me. Unless, of course, your goal was to shed users. All five of my TV’s will be turned over to another streamer by end of next week as I do some research. What a shame.

Robby Thomas (@RobbyThomas2525) reportediphone computer even my roku streambar just the streaming sticks is having this problem and the version i'm on for both my rokus are 15.1.4 @Roku @RokuSupport
-
Jake Tomberlin (@jaketomberlin) reported@Roku I’m a long-time Roku fan, but this latest home experience is terrible. It’s so bad I’m considering Apple TV. Please roll it back to the last version or give users the option to do so.
-
Lmn (@lmn071966) reported@Roku @AppleTV @TheRokuChannel No more subscriptions until you fix this live tv BS!
-
JJJ (@JD99977) reported@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. 😞
-
Bill K. (@Hubbyboogie) reported@LCLoudmouth @Roku I think I read they’re going to be fixing that issue.
-
🍂 Autumn 🍂 (@AutumnTweets) reported@Roku you SOB, you used to have some of the most seasoned and easy to work with tech support operators out there - now you trying to be sneaky, transferring us from one dog **** clanker to another. 😭
-
Brittney (@hope_britt) reported@DIRECTV & @Roku rcount your days! Why would you allow a customer to sign up via Roku and thru your services for the same exact product. Why tf would i sign up for the same sorry *** service twice! & for @Roku not to issue refunds after I’ve been charged twice is crazy
-
al 🪻 (@al_bookjourney) reported@Roku @F1Help two weeks later and it’s still broken🤡
-
unQuestionable.com 🍌 (@FoshayTower) reported@Roku Would you please add support for Siri Shortcuts / automations? I would love for my tv to have a trigger phrase to go to a specific app after turning on at a specific time of day, and could make that work with Shortcuts
-
Matt Pierce (@MattPierceblog) reportedThis 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
-
D.A.R.E Capo (@YungYinkv) reportedHey @Roku you may want to fix this. Howdy showing the wrong movie 😡
-
Greg (@Xuser784) reported@Skippyqsb @Roku @TheRokuChannel Same here. New issue.
-
Watermelon Sugar (Bisan's version) (@HippieChic82) reportedNever 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.
-
Roman Empire (@saveusroman) reported@Roku fix your espn app.
-
Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@Roku @raizalicea Roku is still broken. My continue watching has necroed shows I've completed over a year ago, and still has items i cannot remove. I get it, you guys have no real competition so there's no reason to worry about quality or reliability.... Just outsource it to programmers that know
-
. (@InfraCards) reported@YouTubeTV your @Roku app is awful and doesn’t work properly. Please fix or remove.
-
Harvey Jackalope (@HarveyJackalope) reported@AppleTV and @Roku need to figure out why I can't watch @F1 without the Roku freezing and restarting after 10 minutes. Having no such issues watching on my phone.
-
Imani Drayton (@imanidrayton27) reported@gcanderson57 @PlutoTV @Roku I'm using a Hisense Roku TV and mine does the same thing you've mentioned. I pretty much did everything reopened the app, restarted the TV and neither of those things worked. Like I said it could be the app that's causing the problem.
-
Cream the Barber (@creamthebarber) reported@Roku Just bought a new stick just a few months ago, and it’s already taken a crap on me. Freezes all the time, and now doesn’t pick up my WiFi. It was fine when I first got it, now it just doesn’t work. And this is about the 4th stick that’s done this. Really terrible. Smh.
-
