Crunchyroll has the worst roku app ever. At this point they are better off not offering it at all
no, i don't think i will, thanks (@a9ymous) reported 1 minute ago
@Roku stop continually making the Live TV interface worse, it's one of the reasons we got this RokuTV (pause/rw terrestrial TV). and fix your subtitle support, constantly having to go back to the main menu and unselect/reselect Always On.
Bill K. (@Hubbyboogie) reported 3 minutes ago
@LCLoudmouth @Roku I think I read they’re going to be fixing that issue.
Reigh S. (@ILoveIdahoSpuds) reported 6 minutes ago
@Roku hello, whatever forced update that was just received by my Ultra just bricked my device. Factory reset not working. Error 023.4. “Reset to factory settings” fails. Any suggestions?
Melanie Morgan (@MelMMorgan1) reported 8 minutes ago
@fuboTV @Roku @AskAmex Amex, fuboTV and Roku will not cancel my subscription. They each say via bot chat that the other has to do it. But no one will. Can you just block payment? Or where/how can I get help to cancel my subscription?
Skippy QSB (@Skippyqsb) reported 10 minutes ago
@Roku @TheRokuChannel Keep getting connection issue error and telling me to check my connection, then it dumps me back to main Roku menu. Connection is fine. I have no problems with other apps, just with Roku Channel. I have checked for updates and rebooted. Still getting error.

@DisneyPlus I'm havig this issue several times now, I't started with @Roku devices and @Roku Tv's at home saying we were not in the same household that I should update my household, so I logged off from all devices, nothing same problem 1/2
[a case of the blog] (@acaseofthetwit) reported 12 minutes ago
I normally love my @Roku — I have one for each TV! — but my living room one has been a real issue. The remote randomly stopped working and the device itself now reboots itself multiple times a day (often in the middle of viewing something). Very annoying.
Joe McIlvain (@mac_attack54) reported 14 minutes ago
Hey @Roku I’m in an Airbnb and you’re the most inconvenient thing on earth to login 12 times to everything. Don’t need help, just stating facts. You suck. Help your customers not be cheap and get actual cable, you’re extremely inconvenient
April (@MsWolfe8) reported 18 minutes ago
@Roku Idk what is going on with this stupid TV ive only had a year! But I come home and all my streaming apps are gone and when I add them back Its giving me a error message!!!!!!! Never again

Anyone having issues with @Roku 😭
B (@shortbumble22) reported 22 minutes ago
Trying to change the batteries in my @Roku remote for the first time. Except there is a lip at the bottom of where the batteries go, I am sure to help prevent them from popping out on accident...BUT HOW THE HELL DO I GET THEM OUT ON PURPOSE.
Ben (@TableTopLiberty) reported 22 minutes ago
@DIRECTV I did the trial and I have some feedback on what would win me (and I assume others) over from @YouTubeTV. I use @Roku and the left and right buttons for changing channels instead of rewind and fast forward is the worst. Also allowing 3 streams outside but only 2 from TVs is dumb.
Stuffed Burrito Entertainment (@StuffedBurritoE) reported 24 minutes ago
Oh my gosh, #AppleMusic is so trash. I'm on a free trail, and the **** barely works. I mean, I guess you need to use it on an Apple product 'cause I can't log into itunes on my PC, it won't log into my Roku. Anyone else have issues with Apple Music?
What good are notebooks? (@Zaack23) reported 24 minutes ago
@LMDhusky2023 @discoveryplus @FIAWEC Discovery+ isn't stable on the Roku either. It simply does not adjust bandwidth ever; I proved it on the PC with some technicals and Discovery's answer was "use tethering on your PC to force it into mobile mode." Which a) won't work and b) what ********?

I'm currently watching the YouTube algorithms rebuild my profile. I just got a new Roku, didn't sign in but they're pushing me stuff that's narrowing down who I really am based on the information they have. Very interesting.
Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported 32 minutes ago
@Roku @caseyrosewilson Latest update on Roku has brought on tons of issues. Can't remove finished listings from continue watching, completing episodes goes on to random programs, etc. And periodically it just resets itself. How about rolling back to stability?
Jeremy Coles (@JeremyTColes) reported 36 minutes ago
@russ998 @Thrones_Facts I buy the cheapest Roku TV’s that Walmart/target sell in their respective sizes, and I did not have any issues seeing what was happening.
DogPerson! (@dog_person20) reported 38 minutes ago
@Prime_KD @Apple I think it might be a @Roku problem. I can stream on the Apple app on my phone and directly through the TV, but the Roku app crashes.
Liam Matthew (@ElBick8) reported 38 minutes ago
Have we as a society been too quiet about how awful tv remote controls are? Fire stick? Roku??? These things are the mini muffins of remotes and I will not stand for it
RoughTradeRadio (@RoughTradeRadio) reported 39 minutes ago
@walt_stachura Same. Later in the evening I got: "I was able to confirm with our team that this is a known issue with Roku devices. Our Engineers are working on getting it resolved as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."
Kevin Stern (@Atherworld) reported 42 minutes ago
@DisneyPlus Your Roku TV App won't work. Anything I try to watch comes up as a black screen. I can see things when fast forwarding/rewinding, but playing is a black screen. I did not just renew for the month to not watch your programming you know.
JJJ (@JD99977) reported 46 minutes ago
@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. 😞

FYI - no one sure ever by another #tcltv #rokutv - they are the worst. And then you call and the phone hangs up. Never again. @Roku @TCL_USA
DeluluDad (@BagLampPillow) reported 46 minutes ago
Fix: On my TCL Roku TV whenever I would turn a movie on Disney+ it would turn to a dark almost black screen. after I turned the Backlight down from 100, it worked.
🌻🇺🇦Hangry! (@twistedscamp) reported 48 minutes ago
@roku @Walmart Do any of you care that the updated pushed out to the tvs have effectively bricked them? Having to turn a TV off and back on to change a channel is ridiculous. Fix your software!
Lmn (@lmn071966) reported 49 minutes ago
@Roku @AppleTV @TheRokuChannel No more subscriptions until you fix this live tv BS!
New Village Video (@NewVillageVideo) reported 51 minutes ago
Does anyone know someone with experience building a Roku app? I find a bunch of people who are down for the work until they find out it's for a rental app and not AVOD. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!
Watermelon Sugar (Bisan's version) (@HippieChic82) reported 58 minutes ago
Never 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.

@Roku FIX your apps already. ViaPlay, Howdy. Hire some good techs & earn your money. Two days now. Shame on you. @RokuSupport & tell your AI bot what go sod yourself means...
