Benji (@BenjiShaw7) reported@Roku Fix your new homescreen. Its takes almost a dozen button presses compared to 2-3. This update is ****. Fix it or give us the option before I replace this thing.
-

-
Jinxsyns (@Jinxsyns) reportedSo what absolute ******* retard at @Roku decided that when adding a remote THE ******* BACK, HOME, AND ******* APP BUTTONS DON'T BRING YOU BACK TO THE HOME SCREEN OH AND BEST PART IT DOESNT SAY THIS SO I SAT HERE HITTING EVERY ******* BUTTON BUT THE LEFT BUTTON TO GET IT TO WORK
-
Heather O'Brien✍️ (@RealHeatherOB) reportedI have no idea what anyone else thinks, but @Roku's new Home Screen adds are awful!! There is NO way to remove the adds. All they do is clutter up the screen. I've used Roku for over a decade. Bought several, including for others - just loved them. Now? They're so annoying, I may need to find an alternative. It's just not for me. And they don't even let me "hide" them. Not cool. I neither need nor want all this junk.
-
Viv🥀✨ (@xx_viv_xx) reportedAnyone else having an issue with their @TheCW on @Roku ??? It keeps crashing for me
-
Heather Larson 955,703 (@WriterHeatherL) reported@SaThomas__ I get it with every “smart” tv. Roku, Google, the Amazon thing… they all stink. Same class. All annoying. @Roku is no different to me. I had no problems with OTA tv, js
-
Tom Foolery (@1nject0rX) reportedThank you @Roku I've been paying $70 a month to @DIRECTV for the exact same channels as you all and you have way less commercials and better quality. Thank GOD I found Roku
-
Connie Jeffus (@nikbus99) reported@Roku can't sign in. no email sent to reset p/w. can't find customer chat support. Please cancel free trial of Great Courses
-
Kelly Jones (@skjones_65) reported@Roku your latest software update / redesign is quite bad. Is the intention to slow our devices down so we'll have to buy new ones? Please revert to the way it was or modify so our devices will not be so slow and almost unusable. New does not equal better.

cats collectibles tcg (@Catscollecttcg) reported@Roku PLEASE HELP
-
call it ump (@playball8000) reported@Roku @ASStrogurl24 @Roku you all need to work with charter spectrum on the spectrum app because it has lots of glitches. There's not an app that glitches anywhere close to the spectrum app. FYI
-
𝕏༄༂PureBlood༂࿐𝕏 (@MAGALaura818) reported@Roku I HATE THIS NEW HOME SCREEN! IT'S TERRIBLE! CHANGE IT BACK!
-
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.
-
Brett Bear (@MikeyBoom32) reported@Roku Roku tells you force restart, unplug and do the secret remote cache restart. None of it works because the new software sucks. If your lucky enough to not have a bricked tv you are left with just horrible service. FIX THE SOFTWARE UPDATE.Hopefully Fox will rethink the purchase
-
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
-
Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reported@Roku please fix your data on live tv. Several streams show NO DATA AVAILABLE. It’s frustrating not knowing what you’re watching or when something you might want to see is coming on. This problem didn’t exist before. Get the info back please. Thank you
-
Keri Marie (@KeriMarie317366) reported@Chrisg19722015 @Roku It sucks! Don’t fix what’s not broken 😠. I agree 100% Chris!
-
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!!!
-
cfMC FEROX (@cfmceroz1) reportedhey ******** @roku think you can fix this or what? @TheRokuChannel morons
-
Stepford Diana (@StepfordDiana) reported@Roku You've removed the option to cancel a paid app subscription on the new homepage I need help
-
Nomadic Aaron ✝️ (@AaronWL42) reported@Hisense_USA So I call Hisense and they were helpful but didn't fix the problem. They referred me to @Roku support. After a brief time on the phone with them the issue was corrected. Both were helpful which frankly is surprising these days.
-
Wicked King (@StangXx) reported@Roku I know my internet is down right now, but why doesn't my "live tv" app work during this? I can watch the thumbnail and TV is working, but I'm stuck on that channel cuz the app itself won't load and allow me to change the channel. This is absurd
-
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
-
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!!!
-
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.
-
SportsTurfPro (@sportsturfpro) reported.@NFL @Roku app is repeatedly crashing this morning. HELP! 🏈
-
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! 👍
-
Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reported@Roku fix your live tv displays. It shouldn’t be so hard to list what’s being shown when it’s supposed to be in constant rotation. I’m sick of seeing NO DATA AVAILABLE
-
Qhu✳️🦆🏃♂️ (@Qhu_NFT) reportedI have had it with @Amazon Fire Stick. I have a subscription to Shudder and Starz. I can no longer play them without buying a new subscription thru Amazon. I have a @Roku TV upstairs and have no issues playing my subscriptions. Today I ordered another Roku controller for downstairs. Shame on you Amazon. Bye fire stick. Just warning anyone who is thinking about fire stick.
