It changed from four across to three across on my Roku devices of different generations this morning.
THANK YOU, ROKU!
"Continue Watching" is also gone on the devices.
THANK YOU, ROKU!
Dear Roku Design/UX Team: Since it seems relatively straightforward to enable it or disable it, how about adding in the options for those who DO want "Continue Watching" or four across? It's clear there are people who really love these features and also really dislike them as well.
So, for me, it appears that the 4-tile "experiment" is over and all of my Roku devices have reverted back to 3-tiles! Now, maybe Roku has learned a lesson about screwing around with the accessibility of devices that people have purchased? Yes? And for those of you who still have 4-tile, try rebooting your device.
Glad to hear that some users app grids are reverting to 3 column. The 4 column showed up on mine in the last week and I thought at first some secret setting got activated by sitting on the remote or something, lol. The 4 column looked terrible and I have not gotten used to it.
Im all for customization/accessibility options, but this was a terrible UI change. Hoping mine reverts soon!
I like the 4 column personally. However, I don't think it should be a default. Roku should offer an option to do the 4 column layout. I also liked how the inputs were moved to a group instead of all being displayed on the home screen. Additionally I thought it was pretty cool to have the "continue watching" section where it would show the last show on Max or Netflix that I was watching so that I could quickly resume with less button clicks.
For my vote, I think there should be options for all these styles.
Roku has stated publicly that when the 4x4 screen is officially rolled out, there will be a user setting for 3x3 or 4x4. So personal preference will be maintained. They didn't do this test rollout very well, and hopefully they have learned from it.
