shelby #ExtendAdley (@bigshelbss) reported@Roku your new Home Screen layout is dogshit fix immediately
-
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
-
MrRamone420 (@MrRamone420) reported@Roku It changed over today and it's absolutely terrible. Everything is all over the place and has messed up my apps and home screen. How do I change it back, cause I'm just getting rid of this TV and will avoid using Roku system and products. You know how to lose customers
-
Wallybonkers™️ (@WhtTheActualFuk) reportedJust a consumer FYI!!! @Roku WILL NOT HONOR A WARRANTY. My Roku ultra will not keep connectivity. Done ALL troubleshooting. Called my internet provider. JUMPED THROUGH A MILLION HOOPS, still boots off. After all this I get told sorry, your warranty don’t cover connection issues🤔
-
Smigman (@Smigman1) reported@Roku ROKU got rid of their community support forum. Their TVs are now like the rest. When buying my next one, it will be which one has my apps and which one has the best price and picture quality. The support forum was a huge plus. Goodbye Roku.
-
Lee 🇺🇸 (@redneckleeusmc) reported@Roku @mohzam1997 Roll it back. Its awful.
-
Johnny Ryall (@FunkyBoss_) reported@amazonfiretv the new update is terrible. Fix this please before many of us switch to another streaming service. @Roku
-
Peter Jones (@Peter_B_Jones) reported@roku so you sell me on your wireless surround sound then discontinue the products that work with it so that when one dies I can't even use a measly discount code on your website to replace the device! Garbage!
-
Reductio ad absurdum, PhD. 🐑🥫😘 my 🫏. (@tweetbuster01) reported@Roku @calvinbrain97 I have a issue with it. On several Roku’s and EXCLUSIVELY ON SPECTRUM app, the closed caption feature just stops working even though it says it ON. And it’s in ALL programs and channels on the app. WTF. I have to exit app, load something else then come back to Spectrum to fix
-
Frog Salsa (@FrogSalsa7625) reported@Roku Dear Roku. Please fix the HDMI issue with Playstation 5! Ever since your new 'improvements', my TV shows a blank screen and repeated attempts cause it to crash and reboot. Also, I hate that I cannot control the way I want the home screen to appear the way it was before.
-
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
-
Stacey (@Nerd4915) reported@Roku The new Home Screen is terrible. I had everything set up exactly how I wanted it, in the order that I wanted it, and now I can’t change it back. Go back to the old Home Screen. Clearly the comments here, like mine, do not support this change. Listen to your customers.
-
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.
-
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
-
Buttery Duck (@Nauseum62) reported@Roku It's terrible. Absolutely terrible. I should be able to arrange my home screen the way I want to.
-
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.
-
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
-
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
-
cfMC FEROX (@cfmceroz1) reportedhey ******** @roku think you can fix this or what? @TheRokuChannel morons
-
Jacque and Matt (@theDIYvillage) reported@Roku Yeah, nope. Not being able to remove Live TV & Live TV Guide is a no go. Access to inappropriately aged content for kids is unacceptable. Money talks I suppose. Fix it.
-
HomoConBear (@HomoConBear) reportedI see that @Roku did some post-audio work and looped over the F-Bomb in their promo.
-
RaiderNeil (@Rdrneil) reported@Roku OK I have a Roku 4K stick and good Wi-Fi and a very good Samsung TV and I've had Disney Hulu ESPN now paid through Roku I started getting error 83 error 43 couldn't login on TV couldn't watch it deleted everything restarted updated no help from Disney so I canceled them
-
Fletch will return in Avengers Doomsday (@IMFletcher2) reported@BigKorn80 @Roku That doesn't work now.
-
Buttery Duck (@Nauseum62) reported@Roku @meetatmidnights Doesn't work. All I get is the options to close or remove.
-
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
-
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
-
Andrew Staten (@AndrewStaten) reported@TCL_USA @Roku So, is there really no way to go back to the old home screen UI? I don't get why companies feel the need to change things that aren't broken. More often than not, they get worse with new UIs.
-
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🤬🤬🤬🤬
