Welcome to the Roku Community, @Babs5!
Thanks for reaching out. Apps are tied to your Roku account, so if you add or remove one on a device, it changes on all others linked to that account.
Do you have multiple Roku devices or recognize the email under Settings > System > About?
Let's see if this works for you:
Add the app using the Roku mobile app search feature. Please search for the Apps you want to add and select the option to add them back to your Roku device.
Looking forward to your update!
Best,
The Roku Community Team

Re: Apps not loading on main screen
A lot of people have been reporting this lately. For some, a "System restart" found under Settings->System or Settings->System->Power (depending on your Roku model) fixes it. At least one person reported that moving an app by highlighting it and pressing * on the Roku remote and choosing "Move app" gets it to appear. It can always be moved back. If either of those works, let us know. I haven't seen anything from Roku that would indicate that they know what the problem is or what the definitive solution is.

Re: Apps not loading on main screen
Welcome to the Roku Community, @JohnCoombes8024!
Thanks for reaching out. Rest assured that we'll help you get back on streaming,
Before we proceed further, it would be appreciated if you could provide us with additional information such as follows:
- Is this a newly activated Roku device?
- Did you make any changes to your network provider?
- What specific apps are affected by this?
In the meantime, try rebooting your Roku device under Settings > System > Power (skip if unavailable) > System restart to see if this makes any difference.
Best regards,
Carly

Re: Apps not loading on main screen
@WJK1163, your software version is way behind. Try checking for a "Software update" under Settings->System.

Re: Apps not loading on main screen
I hit update software thinking that may be the problem. It said my software was up to date. Thanks.
