Roku mobile app not opening home page on the app

Jump to solution

When I click on the app on the phone, instead of going to the home page, it goes directly to the device settings. It's very annoying 

How can it be fixed?

I'm having the same problem. Just started today. I have no save list or continue watching,  etc... my mobile app just has devices and remote settings. Very inconvenient.
