Apps on Roku going back to home screen

Very little help from roku. Half my apps PANDORA, discovery+ roku TV  when I click on them they simply go back to home screen? The phone number sucks even says you may not receive a call back. Just the worst ever! ROKU SUCKS

  • As of a couple of days ago, when I'm watching CNN on MAX,it goes back to the home screen every time there is an ad.This never happened before and it doesn't happen when watching movies or shows. Only with live tv.

    Roku assistance was useless. Rebooting and other actions did nothing!
