Only Some of My Android Devices Can Access Roku Channel Content via App

I have 2 Roku Streaming Sticks (3820x) and 2 Roku Ultra LTs (4801RW), all connected via Ethernet with Fiber Internet, no connection issues whatsoever. 

I have 4 Android devices that are updated with latest version of Roku app (9.6.0.2166760) and they all function perfectly as remotes and for remote listening...

But for the life of me, I can't figure out why only two devices have the home button at the bottom, allowing you to browse Roku channel content and select if you want to view it on TV or mobile.

The other two Androids just have a remote and device button at the bottom of the app, with no ability to login however they can access and communicate with all Roku devices on my network/account.

The two fully functional Androids are on OS 8 & 9, the two crippled devices are sporting OS 10 and 6 (or maybe 7).

Any insight would be much appreciated.
