Re: parental controls on Apps

Jump to solution

Why is there no parental control to downloading an apps? I have removed YouTube from my TV. I don't want the kids to downloading it again. Why can't I put a pin on downloading apps?  It seems like a simple fix.

@Sfitzger, this thread is about requiring a PIN to launch an app.  A optional PIN to add apps has been a feature for a long time.

There needs to be an option to block apps on individual devices. It is beyond stupid that people have been saying this for years and Roku has done nothing about it. Making everything account wide is dumb. Some of us have rokus for us and the kids. So is it possible Roku will EVER LISTEN TO ITS CUSTOMERS. I doubt it sadly
