Dog **** new home screen and this issue make me never want another one from y’all.

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
-
Mare Loch (@Mare_Loch) reported@Roku Hey! Fix your closed captioning! Doesn’t even work on your own commercial channels. You know, the channels that show commercials every two minutes? Do you hate the hearing impaired or what?
-
𝕏༄༂PureBlood༂࿐𝕏 (@MAGALaura818) reported@Roku I HATE THIS NEW HOME SCREEN! IT'S TERRIBLE! CHANGE IT BACK!
-
Stepford Diana (@StepfordDiana) reported@Roku You've removed the option to cancel a paid app subscription on the new homepage I need help
-
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.
-
cfMC FEROX (@cfmceroz1) reportedhey ******** @roku think you can fix this or what? @TheRokuChannel morons
-
mmmhmmm (@bleezy_db) reported@Roku Please fix the home screen. At least make it to to where we can land on the screen that allows us to see all of our apps on one page.
-
Buttery Duck (@Nauseum62) reported@Roku @meetatmidnights Doesn't work. All I get is the options to close or remove.
-
Starko (@Starko2341) reported@ojkoj @Roku *Exact* same problem with all my HDMI inputs, I have three consoles and it started after the recent update. I thought my TV was going bad. Someone suggested going to the input from the Nav menu rather than the button on the home screen. I will try that tonight.
-
Alex (@undeadunion78) reported@Roku This is awful. Please let me revert back to the old home screen. I've praised my Roku tv and from here on out no more praise will be had.
-
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
-
Ken Kallembach (@imken24) reported@Roku I will NOT send a DM so you can ignore me there. Solve the problem here in public so anyone with the same issue can find a solution.
-
Jerry Young (@xprezJerry) reported@Roku This is possibly the worst update in recent history. I have disconected my ultra and using the built in Vizio apps now, that is how bad it is. Looking for better solutions elsewhere #roku
-
Arlene (@zfatcat2) reported@EarperMarine @Roku Are other people having the same problem? It's a Roku and/or TV programming issue that affects the apps running on it. Jeez...what a pain...I'm sure. 😳
-
ky baby (@__kbolaydiggs__) reported@Roku might be the worst TV brand ever. Remotes never work, when you try to use a mobile remote it can never connect to the TV.. Let’s get it together.
-
RaiderNeil (@Rdrneil) reported@Roku i've never had a problem with roku, had to reverse a Cable one time and that was it, and I love the new voice remotes that are rechargeable, only issue I've had is with Disney not being able to click on it and it comes on says can't login from your area error 43 error 83
-
Jinxsyns (@Jinxsyns) reported@BlueMoon_Mining @Roku Right! Besides whatever nonsense it's talking about titles this is the other reason im so angry 20 billion dollar company 450 ******* PEOPLE THEY EMPLOY THAT AT LEAST 1 OF THEM COULD ******* FIX THESE BUGS
-
Jake K (@Jakewk) reportedOk @Roku I’m trying to watch Fracture on my Roku TV Channel and you have a perverse glitch that when I try to rewind for a short time, it sends me back to the first few minutes of the movie and when I try to get back to the spot, it makes me watch all the ads again. WTAF.
-
Kaiju Cowboy (@GojiraOmega) reported@Roku @RokuSupport Awful... Absolutely god-awful
-
A Shubert (@ashubert) reported@roku @YouTube problem with private listening on iPhone app. If you get a call, or switch to IG for a minute, anything that requires sound, YouTube will pause and then when you close whatever that app is YouTube resumes but automatically restarts the video from the beginning.

shane✌️👍 (@shane_grand1) reported@Roku The new home screen is terrible..switch it back

-
Maureen Imrie (@maureenmcmahon8) reported@Roku I hate it and will replace and purchase a non Rolu. New screen is awful!
-
Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reportedIs anyone else having issues with @Roku ‘s app?
-
Morticia (@Morticia121212) reported@tacooghost @Roku I've seen where others have watched the episode already. I was thinking it was a problem with the subscription through Roku TV that was the problem.
-
Matthew Smith (@MattSmithFOX13) reported@KirkYuhnke @MatthewKeysLive @Roku Our dumb TV is 10+ years old — biggest issue we’ve ever had: a volume button is a little touchy. We’ve swapped out smart tech multiple times, always on sale. Likely saved us a crazy amount of $$$ in a decade-plus.
-
not reida ✨ (@NotReida) reported@Roku the new update on the Roku tv is the worst **** I’ve ever seen and I hate you
-
Tundrawalker⍟⍟ (@tundrawalker00) reported@TucsonBlonde @Roku Amen. If you can't find soccer without Roku's help, you need to be placed in assisted care.
-
Meghan S (@DrMeghanS) reported@red_chem_lite @Roku My yorkie used to chew and we got bitters spray. That helped her a lot. Now she only chews on her toys. My other dog the bitters spray didn’t work as well but he eventually grew out of the chewing phase after a year or two. Maybe try the bitters spray on the remote cover?
