Honestly if the new Roku app was like the website where we could watch the whole anime for free it would be a lot better. It used to take my free account but now I have to browse anonymously and it sucks. They need to put much more work on the FUNimation Roku thing.

A couple of more questions, I have. Why are there more episodes included on the internet website than on the Roku app? For instance, for the Shakugan no Shana series (season 2) all the sub episodes are posted on the website, but on the Roku app only the first four episodes are listed. Will becoming a member unlock all the other episodes on the Roku app? Thanks.
I've been trying to use the app on Roku, but it takes forever to load a show. When the show does load up it will sometimes cut off and not come back on. It takes a while to get past the splash screen too. Anyone else have these problems? I'd subscribe to the service, but because of these issues, I'm hesitant. I've tried many other apps on Roku and they all work flawlessly. It's only the Funimation app I'm having problems with. Wish it would work more smoothly.
still hav'ing problems loging on to my account on roku
i can now log on to your site online that help but i like to used my big tv and roku to watch your anime
I can't even find the app on my roku...wth
It was exciting to discover this app when it was first released, but the first month or so of use has been pretty disappointing overall. I have wondered at times if I have been paying subscription fees to use a beta application. I sincerely hope that Floatleft and Funimation are able to correct the ridiculous number of bugs in the Roku app and improve its features and functionality. Otherwise, Funimation may stand to lose a good number of elite subscribers who prefer to use their Roku app.
Get an app for xbox >.< Pls xD
I also started my subscription because of roku and now i'm in week three. Was actually pretty impressed. However, I have to say there's a whole slew of bugs still with the roku app. Unfortunately it kicks me out after a second into the video area now back to the main roku channels and I've also had to log in multiple times as well after it started saying I wasn't authenticated which was further complicated by my credentials actually being denied until the next day. Couldn't complain otherwise other than these issues which I've not had before prior to the last few days or with any other roku channel. Afterall, I'm thrilled that I can watch funimation on tv and I've waited anxiously since the roku news.
Ok, thank you very much Funi!!!! Been waiting for this app. Instant elite subscribe from me now. Thanks! After a few minutes of experiencing Funi on my LCD HDTV.... just lovely. Nice job.
