Cream the Barber (@creamthebarber) reported@Roku Just bought a new stick just a few months ago, and it’s already taken a crap on me. Freezes all the time, and now doesn’t pick up my WiFi. It was fine when I first got it, now it just doesn’t work. And this is about the 4th stick that’s done this. Really terrible. Smh.

Imani Drayton (@imanidrayton27) reported@gcanderson57 @PlutoTV @Roku I'm using a Hisense Roku TV and mine does the same thing you've mentioned. I pretty much did everything reopened the app, restarted the TV and neither of those things worked. Like I said it could be the app that's causing the problem.

Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@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?
-
JRC_Lanoka (@JRCsystems) reportedHey @Roku and @prageru @DennisPrager - Did you know that apparently Roku is #blocking Prageru app? The app starts, but #anything you try watching crashes immediately and leaves you back at the main screen. Tried updating. Tried uninstall/ reinstall. Doesn't work!

cShell (@conchShell11) reported@Roku The May 8, 2026 software update ****** up the HDMI CEC, so that it no longer allows me to control the VOLUME or MUTE for my audio receiver with my Roku remote. After doing a Factory Reset, it STILL doesn't work. HDMI CEC is no longer in the settings. WTF? Please FIX this ASAP!

Just left my dad’s house 2 hrs away & his Hisense/Roku TV had logged him out and removed all of his app’s & settings.

V@rified Packer Fan (@zhotster) reported@CoachDrewNelson I have been getting tons of notifications from @Roku. I found out on Reddit that it was a Roku tech problem, not a hacker. Hope it's the same for you.
-
A Shubert (@ashubert) reported@Ask_Spectrum is there any plan to fix the "last channel" function on app for @Roku using the RW button. Functioned for years & it just stopped. Every Roku I have no longer has this function. It's really annoying to not be able toggle back/forward. V15.2 B:0
-
Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@Roku @raizalicea Roku is still broken. My continue watching has necroed shows I've completed over a year ago, and still has items i cannot remove. I get it, you guys have no real competition so there's no reason to worry about quality or reliability.... Just outsource it to programmers that know

Eric ✝️🇺🇸 (@EKershner) reportedHey @Roku. I had a device apparently fail. Bought a new streaming stick and there was nothing wrong with the device. Now I am thinking this is a "you" issue. Currently, I am unable to add the new device. In addition, I am able to log into my account via the Web but not the Android app.
-
Dr. Stack Sats & HODL (@NoBagHolder) reportedDear @MLBTV please fix your @Roku app. Every time I try to resume a game the next day from where I turned it off, the broadcast begins where I left off, immediately crashes, and then starts back at the beginning of the game when I restart it.
-

Primetime 📺 (@Primetime_TB) reportedFinally watching @this_is_acw After Shock. Starting from beginning. Had issues with devices so eventually settled in on canceling the subscription through @Roku and then subscribing to @Triller_TV+ itself and hopefully this will let me watch it on 2 tvs.
