hi, I'm experiencing the same issue of the apps booting me back to the Home Screen.
I've been having issues with my Express device; it's almost a year old and the original problem was that the "Live TV" channel listings would frequently display "No Information Available" at random times so I know it's not an update situation. I found that a solution was to do the Restart function every time and the channel info would be restored. However, the other day, I lost connectivity completely and despite unplugging, restarting and then having to call my internet provider for a system refresh, I ended up having to reboot the device. All was well for a couple hours and then I was in the next room and realized there was silence; came back to see the Home screen. I opened another app and a few minutes later, was back on the Home screen. I'm finding that I have to do Restart several times a day because of THIS now, and it's getting ridiculous. I tried reaching out for exchange instructions and a rep called back while I was in the restroom and I tried to call THEM back several times but it's been almost a month now and the device is still malfunctioning.
I'm very disappointed in that I ~was~ really enjoying the Roku experience and was contemplating buying a Roku TV (even though I have a perfectly good TV now) but the policy of being unable to return or exchange the streaming device without permission from Roku is making me think twice about spending hundreds of dollars on a product I can't independently deal with.
Thank you for taking the time to read my comment!
