Update to my post from last week.
App no longer works on my Sony TV now.
Both get the 13 percent wheel of doom now.
I’m not a big conspiracy theory person but I find it very odd that this is the only app I’m having issues with in a very important election year.

It did nothing to help. Stays the same
I’m having the same issues I get the spinning 13% on two of my TVs but I have one TV that gets Fox News with no issues. All are recently purchased ROKU devices.

Kash,
If you read back through the history of this thread, you should note that a number of individuals have followed the "uninstall-restart-reinstall" steps without success. If Roku is unable to reproduce the problem with the information provided by a large pool of customers and the recommended troubleshooting steps are not producing positive results, then Roku should be engaging with the application developer (Fox News) directly rather than deflecting that responsibility to their customers. If the app is buggy on the Roku platforms and not on Amazon Fire platforms, then Roku would seem to be the failing variable. Either work with the app vendor to resolve the issue or stop allowing it to be installed on Roku devices. One will generate positive customer feelings, the other would at least eliminate customer dissatisfaction as there would be no expectation that the app would function.
Having the EXACT same issue on all devices. Have removed, reloaded, updated, etc. Roku's answer is to "call Fox News." Great help ..... ugh. This started a few weeks ago. Was working perfectly previously.
