Turn off Roku App Sync on a Per Device basis

How do I turn off the app sync on Roku devices?  These are logged into the same Roku account, but I want an older device to not sync with the others. 

Roku Ultra and a Roku Express+. 

The problem is that the Roku Ultra has plenty of space for new apps (added an SD card) and the Roku Express is out of room.   I want a different set of installed apps on each device.  How do I do this on the same account? 

Roku Ultra (4670 series)  Roku Express+ (3710 series)

Re: Turn off Roku App Sync on a Per Device basis

Sorry, it's not possible.  It's something that's been asked for by several people, but installed apps are tied to the Roku account the device is linked to.

Edit:  I should add that it shouldn't matter in this case.  The device will cache the most used apps, so if you use enough "large" apps on the Express it will remove one to download another even if you only have a few apps.
