Re: Pbs kids app crashing on roku tv

Same thing on our multiple Roku 4k express devices.  Uninstalled PBS Kids app, rebooted Roku, reinstalled PBS Kids app.  The app still closes right after opening and is totally busted at the moment. 

Can Roku engineering chime in here?

It will not let me send multiple pictures and video this way. Is there an email address?

I’ve had this issue for the past 2 months now. My kids are so sad they can’t watch their favorite shows anymore

All the ways they suggest on fixing the problem don’t work for me. I even did a factory reset on mine and it still doesn’t work.
