The best way to fix a crashing app on your Fire Stick is to try clearing the cache.

A cache stores data and can be useful as it helps an app remember your needs and preferred content.

The bad side is not clearing your cache regularly can take up storage on your device.

Amazon recommends clearing an app's cache if you're having problems with it.
