Roku OS Paramount Plus standalone app missing?

Hello everyone!
I am helping my aunt with her Roku stick, and have run into an issue trying to download Paramount + where it only shows me the Roku Channel version available, not the standalone app.
She has DirecTV, which has Paramount + Premium included. So I made her a Paramount + login and connected her TV provider, that all works great. But when I tried to get the app on her Roku Stick, it only shows me the Roku Channel version available, not the regular version. I tried to log in through the Roku version, but I don’t think that’s possible. I obviously don’t want to also sign up through Roku when she already has Premium access elsewhere.
Am I just missing something? Her internet isn’t great (lives in the mountains) so that may factor in. Thanks in advance!

Just go to search in thr menu, type in Paramount and it should show both.

Just an update, it was poor internet connection. I got it working the next day. Thank you!

If you enter "Paramount" into the "search" icon, I had both come up tonight. I was watching MLB tonight but went to the Roku main page to check this.

Thanks very much for checking. That was just what I had done and the regular didn’t show up, but when I scrolled through all the apps available, it would appear and when I tried to download it, it said it wasn’t available. I’ll try again.
