Max app crashing when going to commercial

Jump to solution

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

Jump to solution

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.

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.....

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?

You have to contact MAX support and complain it's the only way we will get anywhere

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.

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.
