My Max app keeps crashing and returning to the home screen when it gets to a commercial. The app on my phone doesn't do it, only on my Roku. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it doesn't work

Max App is kicking back to home screen
This does not work. It also only seems to happen only when the in-app ad started playing. The video plays just fine when no ad loaded.

Re: Max app crashing when going to commercial
I am having this same issue, but I can't uninstall because I signed up through roku, so unless I cancel my subscription and wait until the time runs out, I'm stuck.....

Re: Max app crashing when going to commercial
I'm having the same issue. And since an ad is the first thing I see, it immediately crashes on attempting to watch anything.
Tried uninstalling/re-installing, powering the device on and off again. All the usual stuff.
Any help, Roku team?

Re: Max app crashing when going to commercial
Removal of channels with subscriptions obtained THROUGH ROKU
For immediate channel removal you can use the official Roku remote app on an Android/iOS phone/tablet. This will only remove the channel from your Roku; it will NOT cancel the paid subscription.
• At the bottom of the first screen in the app, click "Devices", and if necessary connect to one of your Roku devices.
• In the connected device section, click "Apps on Roku".
• Click AND HOLD the channel you wish to remove (a quick click will bring up the remote controls instead).
• Click on "Remove" and confirm.
I've never tried to remove a subscribed-thru-Roku channel via the remote app (I haven't had one for years) but many confirm this works for them even while the subscription is still active.
I am not a Roku employee, only a user like you. Please, no support questions via private message -- post them publicly to the Community where others may benefit as well.

Re: Max app crashing when going to commercial
Having the same issue. Starts to play the Dune ad then crashes back to Home. I have done everything including a factory reset. Not sure what else I can do.
