Nothing will play on my Roku

We cannot play anything. If you select something, it refreshes and just goes back to the previous screen every time. This has been going on for days now. We have tried unplugging the Roku and have also removed the app and reinstalled with no luck. No clue what to do now and any help would be greatly appreciated!

      My device is a roku device that plugs into the tv. It is powered at an electrical outlet. The issues only occur on the roku app, all other apps work fine. When I open the roku app and select a show to watch, any show, I select play and the screen momentarily acts like it is going to start playing, only to see the screen show the same screen again.
