Aura App

Which that?
It looks like the OP has minimised the apps-home-back bottom menu, like auto-hiding the task bar in Linux or Windows.

Nonetheless, the app's presentation layer really ought to be reactive to the actual screen area available rather than the physical size of the screen, as per modern web design practices, and I would be surprised if there isn't something like HTML (if not actually HTML) driving the presentation layer. It's no good expecting the OS to send a click to you when that area is overlayed by something else – the click message gets sent to the overlying app instead (or in this case the OS itself).

That's what switching to gestures does on my devices. It gets rid of the bar permanently. No good for me, I can't make sense of gestures - apart from the two-fingered salute!
 
It was gestures. As EEPhil surmised, minimising the taskbar to three small bars allowed the Aura app to display the 'All future episodes' option and is therefore selectable. I will only use this workaround when using the Aura app as I prefer the normal taskbar.

Agreed.
I have a vague recollection of a problem with this going back to XP. Something I was developing kept being hidden by the taskbar/start menu/clock. You'd think finding the height of the bar, subtracting it (+ a bit more) from the height of the overlaying window would sort it. My faded memory of the development was that the height of the taskbar wasn't straightforward to obtain. Perhaps my poor knowledge. I think I ended up using a guess - which doesn't make for a portable program!
