-
Osondu Esonwune (@OsonduEsonwune) reported@Roku @norcal06warrior Roku I’m having the same issue on the Netflix app on my Roku tv
-
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.
-
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.
-
Brett Bear (@MikeyBoom32) reported@Roku Roku asking for a private message is ridiculous. Roku knows exactly what the problems are as it has been widely reported and complaints are numerous. Almost no Roku owner has not been touched by the new update. Slow apps, apps that will not open, unable to download new apps.
-
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.
-
Sanah (@sanahbequiet) reportedHad to buy another Roku stick cause mines just randomly stop working like first it was my Roku tv now it’s the stick like Roku is the problem g I’m so irritated @Roku get y’all’s **** together
-
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🤬🤬🤬🤬
-
The Diary Of A Social Gal (Stephanie Dolce) (@AxTheEx) reported@Roku how come I can’t create an account and I only have to sign in as a guest!? what kind of stupid set up is this?
-
Travel Diva Lisa (@4TravelDivaLisa) reported@Roku and @Tubi Therearesome diehard fans of Babylon 5 like me that are very disappointed that neither of you have this show in your line up. Please fix this ASAP!!!
-
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!
-
Greg Spencer (@gspence1) reported@Roku had to sign into @AppleTV AGAIN. This is what I see. It’s the correct password. Only option is to exit out and do it again which gets me to same blank screen. It’s always Apple that I have issues with.
-
Johnny Ryall (@FunkyBoss_) reported@amazonfiretv the new update is terrible. Fix this please before many of us switch to another streaming service. @Roku
-
Random Acts of Crochet Kindness (@stuckathomemom) reported@thegreat_hair @Roku 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!
-
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
-
George H Frost III (@ghfrost3) reportedSo I pay for a subscription on @Roku payment goes through they get the money. Subscription does not work. @Roku is good at taking the money but… that’s where their part ends taking the $$. **** doesn’t work and zero real support. You ******* suck and I’m going back to cable.
-
Moe's Place (@MeetYouAtMoes) reported@Roku Thanks for the response. Yup. Tried that. Doesn't work. And the buffering is constant. It only happens on the Blaze App. It makes it completely unwatchable.
-
HockeyDad2A&Z (@HockeyDad2AandZ) reportedHey @Roku, no one asked you to do up the home screen. I used to be able to have HDMI 1 and 2 in the top row and now I have to go into the inputs to select them. That's stupid bullshit. I want my old home screen back. Not this fkng mess. Fix this.
-
Keny2 (@yas6444) reported@Roku POOR execution! great idea. I have many roku sound bars thinking they had all I want - WRONG! They all, within 9 months, have problems with: pairing to TVs, won't turn on TV or Roku box, sound crackles, Batteries drain FAST, etc. AND NO CUSTOMER SERVICE reply! don't buy...
-
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
-
Rhymes with funky (@KirkYuhnke) reported@MatthewKeysLive @Roku Problem is... finding an actual "dumb tv" is almost impossible anymore. The business model for TV companies has shifted. They don't make $ when I buy the TV anymore.
-
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!
-
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
-
Jesus's Flunky (@CrucifiedAgape) reportedDon't know whether it's my @TCL_USA @Roku TV or my @dish Hopper 3, but Lordy, I have to do a hard reboot on them nearly everyday to get them to work together.
-
1980s Boxing (@80sBoxing) reported@Roku It's awful. More clutter I do not need and I need to click down just to get to all of my apps. Simple and streamlined is always better. Why are you trying to fix things that aren't broken?
-
Acme Pack (@acme1265packers) reported@Roku The problem is that Roku is getting a kickback for recommending shows that no one watches, plus we already know what they are going to watch.
-
Meredith Porterfield (@meredithep) reported@Roku @foxone I don't want to watch FIFA but I would like to watch other apps and would appreciate it if they actually worked on Roku. I have no problem with the apps on other devices. Just Roku
-
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.
-
sandiek is in the skiiiieeesssss (@sandiek) reportedthe new @roku layout is so bad that I delayed tuning into the #worldcup to fix it back after it got dumped on me.
-
Joe Kimray (@JoeKimray) reportedWow - this new @Roku Home Screen update they forced on everyone is one of the worst technology “upgrades” ever. Lost the ability to customize the Home Screen - and they added a lot of apps no one wants, that you can’t remove. Horrible decision - the customer is always last…
-
Patsy Stone (@ItIsPatsyStone) reported@Roku You should be concentrating on making your site work. The app doesn't work & your website doesn't work either
