Roku app screen stays "always on"
How do I get the roku app with the remote to turn off the screen when I'm not using it. I looked in settings. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
This isn't about the TV. Or the Roku device. It's about how the Roku app functions on a mobile phone.
On almost every app I've ever used, the app/mobile device screen will either fade or Timeout (turn off) after a period of inactivity. The only exceptions I've ever seen are when the app has a customizable setting for "always on" (like a timer or stopwatch). Even a backlit TV remote turns off.
After I hit play and a show has started, the roku app and thus my phone stay on. I have my phone's display setting to Timeout turn after 30 seconds. Something in the roku app is overriding that system setting.
Many phone apps will override the screen timeout. It would be nice if they offered the ability to adjust it or follow the phone setting. I just manually turn the screen off if I've finished with the app that does it. On an iPhone, that's simply tapping the power button on the side of the phone.
