The software for both Roku and AMC+ is both current. I have done the uninstall and reinstall since that is always the canned response. It did not help. The same AMC+ app with the same software is working just fine on my computer and Firestick. So this seems to be a Roku problem based on all the online posts that state they are having the exact same issue and have been having for some time and all with Roku. So let's try something that just might work. Or should I just install my apps all on my Firestick and throw the Roku device away? If so, will you refund me what I paid for the Roku stick? Chuck

Actually they are NOT the same software on other platforms. AMC may have given them all the same version number, but the programmers had to code each one to be compatible with the operating system on each platform, using the controls available on that platform. So it's not unusual from streaming apps to perform differently on different platforms.
Have you contacted AMC about this? It's their app, written by their programmers to be compatible with Roku. All Roku does is provide the platform on which it runs.

I have been waiting for you to finally pass the buck and blame the AMC app. That is typically the next move. So here is my next move. I will deposit this Roku device in the trash and run all my apps off the Firestick. I will eat the cost of this device but I make this promise. I will tell anyone that is interested, my experience with the Roku and that they should expect no help if there is a problem. I will do everything I can to convince as many as possible that buying a Roku device might just be a mistake and a waste of money. I promise to cost you much more in sales than you got me for in buying this device. I will be sure to write a review on Amazon where I bought this so others will know about my experience. That will be the result of you NOT helping with this issue. Chuck

chuckbear, it's not passing the buck. Only AMC can fix their app, period.

All I know is that the AMC app works on my Firestick, An LG smart TV, a Visio Smart TV, and on two different computers. AMC can find nothing wrong with their app that would affect Roku. Roku needs to let people know in advance of purchasing their product that not all streaming apps will work with their "platform" so they can make an informed decision before purchasing. And here is the funny thing. At one point I had the AMC+ app through Roku and it worked fine. After I canceled through Roku and resubscribed directly through AMC+ it suddenly had issues. No amount of deleting and reinstalling help. Hmmmmm. And it appears I am not the only one. Chuck
