I heard that Roku rolled out the 4 column format to a limited number of people. I also have 4 columns now and it makes it harder to identify the apps unless I sit close. I hope they go back to 3 columns or provide an option to have 3 columns instead of 4.
Echoing what everyone else has already said. The four columns is very hard to see and it’s honestly sad that Roku does not have better accessibility options to change icon and text size.
Both my set-top Roku and my Roku TV are still like this and I HATE it... when will Roku be changing it back?!?!
They said version 12.5, but I have version 12.5 on my rokus and still no option for 3, so by that logic I'm going with never. I will be voting with my wallet and going to another vendor soon. I'll buy new ones one by one or maybe just sell them all. TV's aren't that expensive anymore.
This change is amazing!!! I can't figure out how to go back. The size difference is blown out of proportion and not an issue. I wish I could have this permanently. I was able to jump right in to a particular Hulu show which I miss already 😞
Become visually impaired and then tell me, "The size difference is blown out of proportion and not an issue."
Completely disagree. Awesome change and I want it back
Lol. Hilarious. How "amazing" is it that all of the comments have been very negative, and then that's pointed out. THEN, "suddenly", "commentors" trip all over themselves to say how "amazing" the changes are.
You want to see how ironic the update was?
Consider that the "recently watched" portion is STILL only three tiles. And only TWO of those are selectable. The third just takes you to the page which is mostly Roku "suggestions", not your personal recently watched content.
It is very clear the changes made were to subtly direct use of content to emphasize content they could sell or control. This is very much in line with what is happening across tech and media. Very clear that Roku is joining the bandwagon to emphasize and deemphasize channels or content.
This issue is that the sold a product to consumers that led the purchaser to believe that could control and curate themselves, but now, they are gradually removing the control and using the device to push consumers one way or the other so they can capitalize on them. This changes the value of the original product significantly.
That is what feels like a breach of trust.
They have one week to being my larger icons back and take off continue watching on my home screen before i dump all 4 of my roku’s and will never be a customer again.
