Tubi roku app showing limited stuff

When I open the app it only shows me a small limited selection all of a sudden I tried to reinstall the app and restart my roku but keeps only showing a limited amount.

    May just be an issue with the new channel/app.  Looks like it is version 3.2 build 1 released on March 5, 2024.

    The best avenue to take is to contact Tubi support at https://tubitv.com/static/support and let them know (if they do not already).

    Until resolved, you can browse all their titles at https://tubitv.com/home on a laptop or your phone and then perform a Search for the desired title within your Tubi channel/app on your Roku.

    Alternatively, you can also just go that same page https://tubitv.com/home and either cast it to your Roku or TV, or use an HDMI cable to your TV and bypass Roku altogether.

    I noticed that as well but I'm not finding any answers about it anywhere. The categories have dropped and the amount of movies per category is only 20 now.. What's up with that!?!

    Hopefully they get this fixed soon.  Can still browse by doing a search, but what a pain.

      My Tubi Roku was broken like yours: way fewer categories, way fewer movies per category but it's working fine now. I reset, cleared the cache, deleted and reinstalled Tubi, but none of it worked. Now, two hours later, it's fine. I don't know if that's coincidence or if the reset/cache/reinstall took a while to take?

    Whenever you try to reinstall a channel/app on the Roku platform, make sure you follow the full Remove/Restart/Reinstall procedure so as to clear out any corruption/cache.

    Remove the channel/app.  Restart the Roku device.  Reinstall the channel/app.

    I just checked into Tubi and it does look a little bit more limited than with their old design. (each category has 1 of 20 selections, 1 of 16 etc).  Has been awhile since I used Tubi though so not sure how much this has changed.  (The frequency of their ads used to kill me).

      Yeah it's limited on my roku all of a sudden, yet if I look at tubi on my phone, or even on the smart tv it isn't limited at all that why it's odd to me and I don't understand why it's doing that on the roku. I did try the uninstall restart and install again but it's still limited on everything. Thanks for trying to help though.
