Re: Channel Icons Are Very Small Now

Please add me to the list of people who want the 3x3 Home Screen back.  Or the option to switch between 3x3 and 4x4.

Re: Channel Icons Are Very Small Now

I do NOT like these tiny icons. CHANGE IT BACK or at least make the size an option!!!

You should consider ALL of your customers.....

Re: Channel Icons Are Very Small Now

I totally agree with everyone on this forum that this unnecessary change, without options to revert back to previous size is a change looking for problem to solve. I hope the next update fixes this very irritating issue. Otherwise, very disappointing.

Re: Channel Icons Are Very Small Now

It’s been nearly two months, yet despite several mods saying you’re listening and will look into this, still no option to revert to how it always was. No one is asking you to make anything new, simply to allow a choose between the old UI and this new one. I have loved Roku TVs, and recommended them to many friends and family, but this new change (while seemingly minimal) is a drastic difference. I might as well be trying to read the icons on a fire tv at this point. For anyone with a tv under 55” who sits more than a foot or two away (which I’d bet is actually the majority of your customer base), this new change makes the screen much harder to navigate. I have 9 icons on my main setup, many people don’t actually use 20+ different streaming services, and even so, anyone with even slight vision difficulties is affected by this. Your customers with larger screens may have been annoyed by how much they had to scroll, but it wasn’t presenting any actual accessibility issues the way it was before. Changing to meet only those customers needs, while disregarding everyone else, has clearly created an accessibly issue for previously loyal customers, not just a minor annoyance. I even have to squint to see my decent sized tv at a near difference - my older family members with aging eyes can’t see it at all. You need to create a CHOICE between the UI that you’ve had for years now, which many loved, and this new one, which many hate. Not simply say “we’ll work on it”, and never take any other action.

Re: Channel Icons Are Very Small Now

I found this thread while googling this issue. I'm in the same boat. I want the icons changed back or an option to change it back. Ridiculous. I wish more developers allowed us to "preview" these changes first and then collect feedback, rather than make the change first and see how much backlash there is.

Re: Channel Icons Are Very Small Now

I agree. Channel icons are too small and hard to read. Congratulations if you have a 70 inch TV. I dont!

Re: Channel Icons Are Very Small Now

I’ll make it easy for you Roku devs.

the current design does not meet ada requirements.  Therefore you have five business days to bring it in line by reverting it.
