Just a note that Chicken Soup for the Soul is liquidating under Chapter 7 bankruptcy. They are the parent company of Redbox and Crackle. Redbox is already dead, and Crackle probably will be soon if not already.

POPCORN Fix seems to have been down now since Sept. 1st.

POPCORN CHANNEL APP does not work on ROKU TV or ROKU EXPRESS 4K. After loading it a week ago, it just fades to grey when you try to run it selected after a few minutes. Both systems the same, Tried deleting it and re-install (after software update boot and forcing the turnoff & on reset). Other streaming apps  works fine.

The parent company is liquidating under Chapter 7. Redbox is already gone. It looks like PopcornFlix has now shut down. Crackle will probably die soon. From the few times I have tried it, the home screen has not changed as far as what is being advertised.

Popcornflix still has active app on Roku.  Yet Crackle and Redbox are gone.
