Re: Apps won’t load but network connection is strong
Settings / Network / Check connection
- Do you get checkmarks in all three circles?
- When you return to the Network page, what download speed does it list?

Re: Apps won’t load but network connection is strong
I'm having the same issue. I have an excellent connection (check marks in all three circles) but cannot load several of my apps. Including live tv, and several other of the free movie apps. When I try to load Tubi, I keep getting an error code telling me to sign in. But, when I try to click the button to enter my email, it just jumps to "invalid email" without even letting me try.

Re: Apps won’t load but network connection is strong
I am having the same issue and have done all of the fixes. I'm using a Roku Streaming Stick + (3810, 3811 series) . This is happening with ALL apps, either I click it, it goes black, and then goes back to the main menu, or it tells me it cannot load the app and to check the connection. The connection is strong. I have rebooted my modem, router, unplugged the Roku stick, reset the network connection, restarted the roku, removed and re-added apps, tried it on a different wireless network. The Roku Express (3930, 3931 series) I have connected to my other TV is working fine
