PBS kids app server error

This is in reference to a thread that was marked solved last November but it was mentioned that if any users needed help to start a new thread. 
My pbs kids app says “server error: code 500.” It has said this every time I’ve tried to get on for months now. 
Using info from the previous thread I completed the following steps:

  1. Remove the channel: navigate to your Home screen, move to the right, highlight the app, press Star*, then select Remove channel
  2. Perform a system reboot: navigate to your Home, select Settings > System > Power (skip if unavailable) > System restart
  3. Re-install the channel: navigate to your Home, scroll and select Store, look for the app, then press Add channel

However I am still having the same problem.
