canceling membership . i'm hard of hearing and almost all the shows and movies captions are unavailable

Response from developer

Hi there, is this issue still occuring? Please try logging out of the app and signing back in. When prompted, enter your email and password manually rather than using a saved or autofill option, as this can help resolve the issue. We hope this helps!

can’t sign in

Can’t sign it, doesn’t let me purchase the subscription.

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for sharing. That’s not expected and we’re here to help. As a quick check, try signing in to your Roku account at my.roku.com in a web browser to confirm your login details are working. If you’re able to sign in there but still see this issue in the app, you may also want to make sure your password meets Roku’s requirements. In some cases, updating to a longer password can help resolve sign-in loops. If it continues, please reach out to our team at support.roku.com/contactus so they can take a closer look. Thank you!

Apple TV?

There’s no Apple TV app. I’m not spending money on a streaming service I can’t use on all my devices.

Response from developer

Hi there, we appreciate your feedback! For more flexibility across Roku and non-Roku TVs, consider subscribing through Amazon Prime Video, which allows access on various devices. Thanks for sharing, we'll pass your feedback along as we continue improving things. Happy Streaming!

No Apple TV app

I get why they want this to be Roku exclusive content, but come on. No Apple TV app? That’s just punitive.

Response from developer

We understand where you’re coming from, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback. Howdy is currently available on Roku devices, the mobile app, and at howdy.tv, and we know access across more platforms is important to many customers. In the meantime, we’ll be sure to pass this along to our team. Happy Streaming!

Doesn’t work

It continually asks for login and once that is entered, it logs off and keeps rebounding back to sign-in. Very big waste of time. I feel like this is a scam!!
