So you’re rolling through the newest season of “The Walking Dead: Dead City” or “Dark Winds” on the AMC+ app, when suddenly it freezes up on you. It’s certainly annoying, but it’s not the end of the world, especially if you’re an owner of an Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, or Roku streaming device.

If you do happen to own one of these devices, the fix for a frozen AMC+ app is waiting for you in the text below. I’ll run through the options to clear a frozen streaming app on these devices with ease, helping you get back to what you want to watch on the streamer.

How to fix frozen AMC+ app

How to frozen AMC+ app on Amazon Fire TV devices

We’ll start with a solution that will allow you to stay logged into AMC+ on your Fire TV after clearing the freezing issue. To do this, you’ll need to Force Stop the AMC+ app on your device.

Navigate to your Fire TV Settings section, then click Applications. Manage Installed Applications will be your next stop, then you’ll want to scroll to AMC+. Click it, then choose Force Stop to get the app rolling again when you start it up.

If this didn’t fix the issue, a cache clear is next. Head back into Settings, and get to Manage Installed Applications once again. Click AMC+, then Clear Cache and Clear Data. This will log you out of AMC+, but once you log in again, you should be ready to stream as normal.

How to fix frozen AMC+ app on Apple TV

If the AMC+ app is frozen on your Apple TV device, the solution is pretty simple. Before trying it, however, make sure your tvOS software is updated to the latest version.

If it is, you’ll have to force quit the AMC+ app to get it working again. To do this, double-click the Home button on your Siri remote. A list of active apps will pop up; scroll to AMC+ and swipe up on the touch surface or clickpad to force the app to quit. Once you start it up again, you should be good to go.

How to fix frozen AMC+ app on Roku

There are several fixes available for a frozen streaming app on a Roku device. If the app is up-to-date, uninstalling and reinstalling it is one method to get it unfrozen. You can do this by using the star button once you’ve highlighted AMC+ on your Roku home screen.

There’s also a trick to reset your Roku device programmed into your remote. To follow this shortcut, press the home button five times in a row, followed by up on the directional pad, then rewind twice, and then fast-forward twice.

Finally, you can clear the cache of your Roku player by going to the Settings menu and choosing System. Click Advanced System Settings, and once you’re there, go to Network connection Reset. Choose Reset connection, and your cache will clear.
