    @Crunchyroll @Roku I beg you to fix the Roku app. Beg you. It is a steaming broken pile of ****, I love the service, but I can’t use it half the time because the app doesn’t work. Just steal the funimation app and rebrand it already.

  • bat_aaron Aaron Judge’s Bat (@bat_aaron) reported

    @JohnJHarwood Spend the money on an Apple TV. Every Amazon stick I’ve owned is now too slow. Roku interface is weak. I don’t want a Google product. Apple TV is speedy, helps you keep track of your shows, and people I know who have older versions can still use them and they work well.

  • Ummmmichelle Michelle (@Ummmmichelle) reported

    I've annoyed my son too much about this....help me figure out how to watch this! I have Roku, Prime, Netflix, HBO, Sling, Discovery+ And yes, before this I used to think I was smart haha #OPLiveNation

  • realPsXtreme Steven Reinwall (@realPsXtreme) reported

    @TheGingerPerks I think the roku remote has to be synced to the roku in order to work. Atleast on my roku it does. I tried my brothers remote on mine and it wouldn't work.

  • txvoodoo Lisa Rowe (@txvoodoo) reported

    @JohnJHarwood I don't have Chromecast, but I've found Firestick to be pretty good. I have that & a Roku, because ALL of them sometimes have contract issues w/ channels & that way I don't miss mine.

  • 1MirandaAllen Miranda Allen (@1MirandaAllen) reported

    New TV Saga (Part 6): There are only two HDMI ports. So, Roku and DVD player are hooked up. The satellite dish box is not. I'd suspended that account anyway so I'm not using it and I was having trouble with it.

  • edbobgreen Ed Lettis 🌻 (@edbobgreen) reported

    @JohnJHarwood Don't know, but no issues at all with Roku.

  • mscherb44 mscherb44 (@mscherb44) reported

    @JohnJHarwood I have Apple TV and Roku, never had an issue with either.

  • BellaBennieEnzo 🦋OnePrdGma🦋 (@BellaBennieEnzo) reported

    @Roku why did my remote control suddenly start this delay BS in changing channels changing apps pausing and moving forward. It just started I have brand new batteries please fix it

  • 33AmazonQueen A Daley/UbiKit13 (@33AmazonQueen) reported

    @AndVrv So Crunchyroll's NOT Working on Roku at all. It's not the Roku, checked already. I live in Arizona in USA. Please Fix. Please & Thank You!

  • TiGGyZTweetZ TiGGyzTweetz 💎 🍥 Official (@TiGGyZTweetZ) reported

    @JohnJHarwood Team Roku here, no issues.

  • LightIsACat Light Almaluna Zephyr (@LightIsACat) reported

    @Crunchyroll Seriously, please get your **** together and stop releasing new episodes of stuff with no subs (even when indicated), A/V synchronization issues, and most importantly of all, find a way to stop your Roku app from crashing constantly. Just please.

  • pcary1545 PLC (@pcary1545) reported

    @JohnJHarwood Roku better quality, worth the extra $

  • Gill_Boldberg Gill Boldberg (@Gill_Boldberg) reported

    Maybe all these IT people getting laid off from all these major tech companies can get hired to fix the constant lagging of Netflix on Roku

  • p0rtia_ fair p0rtia (@p0rtia_) reported

    @JohnJHarwood Started out with Roku when it first came out. My set up is now: FireTV w basic Roku and Chromecast dongle. IOW, no one of them gets me everything I want. Did not go with Roku TV because the Roku remote is so awful.

  • MsGulch2 MsGulch2 🇺🇸 (@MsGulch2) reported

    @JohnJHarwood Recently got a new smart tv and didn’t think I needed anything else to stream since it already has tons of apps. Wrong. I learned through several weeks of trial and error that all streaming devices are not created equal. Finally settled on Roku Ultra and have had no issues since.

  • JanMentz3 Jan Mentz (@JanMentz3) reported

    @garvin_jamelyn It's a very irritating thing for me now and I'm not even in the know of who is playing now. My Roku controller is MIA and Fox is showing old movies. But I think I'll just clean house and work on finding the controller

  • therealsplett2 Richard Splett (@therealsplett2) reported

    @JohnJHarwood I've had them all. I like Roku the best. They are the least apt to try to lock you into a weird ecosystem. FireTV and AppleTV are worst on this score. Only exception is for YoutubeTV subscribers I'd give the edge to Chromecast.

  • RockyMountViews Rocky Mountain Views (@RockyMountViews) reported

    @lizhump77 I signed up for one month of Netflix to watch the Glass Onion. For some reason, Netflix runs super slow on my Roku. I do have slow internet, but I don't have this issue with any other streaming service. It is discouraging to navigate around Netflix. It does fine on my PC.

  • tattedup4me Stephanie Nicole (@tattedup4me) reported

    @CoachedBetter @askparamount @tigerdude22 It was but that was the 1st time I've ever had an issue with them like that. My daughter gets glitches on her PS4 but we've never had a problem on the Roku. It's resolved and it looks like it was quite a few people not just a handful.

  • BellaBennieEnzo 🦋OnePrdGma🦋 (@BellaBennieEnzo) reported

    @RokuSupport suddenly my Roku remote control stopped working. Can't change apps can't change channels can't pause and restart. Brand new batteries. Please fix it

  • MarieBalducci3 MarieBalducci (@MarieBalducci3) reported

    @RokuSupport I don’t have a Roku account and you have been charging my credit card for over a year! Help me cancel!

  • ChrisBracken7 Chris Bracken (@ChrisBracken7) reported

    @JohnJHarwood Get Roku. I had all sorts of problems with Firestick. Roku has been flawless

  • AndyWise5 Wise Choices™️ (@AndyWise5) reported

    @JohnJHarwood I’m a Roku customer. Very pleased. Reliable and intuitive with few crashes/glitches…and when it does crash, it’s no trouble to reset.

  • 7Fitzy13 Karen (not a Karen) (@7Fitzy13) reported

    @JohnJHarwood I just switched to streaming from cable so this is all new to me. I am using Roku 4k sticks and so far, so good. And they are much more user-friendly than Apple TV (awful remote).

  • is380cs ちーちゃん (@is380cs) reported

    @Crunchyroll I can’t watch anything on the Roku Crunchyroll app it keeps saying error and showing the cat

  • AlohaaaAngel 🌹.𝓙𝓲𝓵𝓵𝔂.🌹 (@AlohaaaAngel) reported

    I seriously despise popular companies & manufacturers that don’t give their customers direct access to get help from a customer service representative/agent. For instance, cash app & Roku TV manufacturers have a number you can contact, but you will receive zero service. 🚮

  • davek2iron Dave K (@davek2iron) reported

    @TeamYouTube It was wrong language on Roku but right language on phone. I cast phone to tv and it worked. FYI: very disappointed that YouTube intentionally makes it almost impossible to seek direct customer support. I spent over an hour last night trying to resolve issue.

  • JudoLivesInYou Awesome McCoolio (@JudoLivesInYou) reported

    @Crunchyroll can you please fix your damned Roku app? It was glitching out before but today it's straight up refusing to play any videos. I don't know what shoddy update you pushed out at the beginning of the year but do better. I swear I will ******* cancel and pirate my anime.

  • DrummerGoji Josh LaPierre (@DrummerGoji) reported

    @Crunchyroll bruh please fix the app for mobile and Roku 😩😩😩 Just wanna watch me some Nagatoro 🥹
