  • gazmbuku Gareth Morgan (@gazmbuku) reported

    @Jayne_1966 @NOW Same issue on my 2 roku devices.

  • Dawn_HPK Wrath of Dawn (@Dawn_HPK) reported

    @NGB2020 If you're using Roku for your live TV viewing and just subscribing to regular Hulu (without the Live), you probably won't have those problems.

  • NOW NOW (@NOW) reported

    @gazmbuku We've got this sent off to Roku again to try and find a permanent fix for this issue Gareth. So sorry about the hassle.

  • gazmbuku Gareth Morgan (@gazmbuku) reported

    @NOW @NOWHelpTeam But now it doesn't work on any Roku device. I have roku 2 and stick and neither work. Yes I've reset,reinstalled etc. Wider issue than just mine

  • DeanRWillis Dean Willis (@DeanRWillis) reported

    @XanaxWarrPrncss I don't know if Amazon does it, but Roku has an app that allows you to use your phone as the remote. That solves the problem, as long as you don't lose your phone lol.

  • Tracklete_13 Casey Evans (@Tracklete_13) reported

    @Roku Why are your TVs having the exact same issues? Never had an issue until recently.

  • teamfloyduk Crazy Diamond (@teamfloyduk) reported

    @NOW @NOWHelpTeam The new app update is awful, very slow I and can't believe you didn't fix the issue with not resuming from where you leave a program. I have the app on two Roku sticks. Also same problems plus crashing on the Android apps. New UI not very user friendly either.

  • Jayne_1966 Jayne Watson (@Jayne_1966) reported

    @NOW since the latest update I cannot watch Now TV on my Roku stick when is the issue going to be resolved?

  • mmmhawk92 Michael Montgomery (@mmmhawk92) reported

    @hbomax when are going to revamp your app? Every time I try to log in through the app on Roku I have sign out and sign in 2 or 3 times and it still doesn’t always work. The app is very buggy. Also if I have hbo max on YouTube tv, why do I need to use the separate app?

  • Ajaxin Aj (@Ajaxin) reported

    @MrSarcastobeat @Hungama_Play @Hungama_com I wouldn’t trust any Indian OTT apps to provide quality movie watching experience. Even Hotstar is bad on Roku interface.

  • _badgalrara_ bimini bon pay rise for the NHS (@_badgalrara_) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam I don’t think it is resolved and the live chat team seem to think it’s ongoing. I’ve checked updates, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, restarted Roku...still not working

  • stephenmcg1987 Stephen McGinnity (@stephenmcg1987) reported

    @NOW_Ireland Anybody else having issues with using Now/Now TV on a roku stick since the update? I just keep getting sent to Roku home screen when clicking on Now.

  • AmyWatk74230842 World's Bomb Comics (@AmyWatk74230842) reported

  • paulblakey Paul Blakey MBE (@paulblakey) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Yes all up to date unless I remove channel and add channel? Never had issues with any Roku channel before!

  • MacDadSavage TC 👏🏽 (@MacDadSavage) reported

    @EllisMbeh Roku is good if you have access to a cable account login (friend or family's account works)

  • paulblakey Paul Blakey MBE (@paulblakey) reported

    Second day of @NOW not working on @Roku - old version worked great, why release a new version that doesn't load? Do we get any freebies for the inconvenience???

  • Bellabobies RC (@Bellabobies) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam lovely rebrand except now your app no longer works on my Roku stick...just flashes up the logo then goes back to home screen. All other apps work fine 😤

  • __TJ__ traceyjohnson (@__TJ__) reported

    @Britbox_CA my Roku tv has suddenly stopped streaming today and says service isn’t available in my country? ! I pay for this channel please help.

  • tahyanagames tahyana 🪐 (@tahyanagames) reported

    @SpaceSkulls @Thecaramelman @naaeee__xx No sweetie, one was broken by a roommate and I didn't want to have the screen repaired so I went and bought a 50" roku and I've had it for 3 years no problem. I also bought another 65" roku last month, no problems. Not to mention the one that was broken had no problems either

  • V2agupt Ashish Gupta (@V2agupt) reported

    @Hotstarusa Hello Team, I have recently subscribed to Hotstar and was promised to get the Roku Express for free. I have received a link with a code. Its asking to open the link and put in the code but the link does not open on any of my devices. Please help..

  • kscutiepie Carla Freeberg (@kscutiepie) reported

    We were looking for some double sided tape to fix the Roku to the tv. We found a roll. We wondered why it was barely used. Soon we found out why. The backing was a pain to remove. Steve finally go it but I thought we should throw it out!

  • Jayne_1966 Jayne Watson (@Jayne_1966) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Your website is ridiculous logged in and when I click to report technical issues does not recognise account now there are plenty of people reporting Roku sticks not working so can a timescale be given for resolution?

  • NOW NOW (@NOW) reported

    @gazmbuku We have released a new version of the app for Roku. Can you try searching for it on the app store, if it is not available, it will populate soon Gareth. Can you also tell us the error code you are getting? Thank you

  • gazmbuku Gareth Morgan (@gazmbuku) reported

    @NOW Now app admin drowning in complaints new app doesn't work on Roku

  • tracylit_73 Tracy Little (@tracylit_73) reported

  • BrandonDubisky Brandoñ Dubisky (@BrandonDubisky) reported

    @Shaddix_Taylor @David11Lee Yeah I use it in an internet browser on my phone and an app on my Roku. Only had it a few days but so far I like it. It has buffered a few times and I usually don't have that problem on my wifi.
