Re: Roku Smart Home app continues to crash

I'm having the same issued. I've rebooted my phone and reinstalled the app 4 times. 3 times before the reboot, and once after. App opens to the home screen and immediately collapses.

Other users here in this community are reporting the same issue. I have done all of those steps you've mentioned to no avail. It is the app. Can you please debug the app or check into the app?

Re: Roku Smart Home app continues to crash

I would love to be able to give you that information but the app will not even open anymore. I have uninstalled it from my phone because it continues to crash in the background using up my battery via my phone notifications. I hope someone else is able to give you this information so the app can be fixed. It appears on the Roku Smart Home app reviews that there are MANY others having the same issue since the last update.

Re: Roku Smart Home app continues to crash

  • Model and brand of your mobile phones - Samsung S21 and Pixel 6
  • The version of mobile phones - I don't know what this means
  • The version of the Roku Smart Home app on your phones - I can't load it onto my phone bc it crashes but the last time I was able to look into it the last update for the app was done in October.

Re: Roku Smart Home app continues to crash

Have you tried clearing all of the app's local data?  On a pixel it's Settings > Apps > Find the app in the list > Storage & Cache.  Clear out the storage and the cache.  Not sure where it is on Samsung, probably something similar.
