Welcome to the Roku Community, @TrawleyDawdger!
Thanks for sharing this here with us. I want to help you clarify this matter.
Could you tell me what specific app you are referring to? Please note that using the Roku Mobile App is free, and doesn't require a subscription to use any of the features on the app.
We are hoping to hear back from you.
Best,
