Can install Roku Channel App from the Google Play Store. Doesn't even show it for my Android 13 platform. I had to got to browser to try and install it. But the Google Play Store on the browser says my device is not eligible to install the Roku Channel App. I recently updated to Android 13.i went to apkmirror and tried to install the latest Roku Channel App Apk, but it only crashes every time I try to open it. Is the Roku Channel App available for Android 13? How & where can I install it?

Thanks for the clarification, @toconnect2me!

Please be advised that we don't have The Roku Channel app. All we offer is the Smart Home app for Roku smart home monitoring and the Roku Mobile app, which can be used as an alternative for your physical remote. You may also access The Roku Channel on your mobile app if you successfully linked the app on your Roku streaming device/TV. 

Kindly reply to this thread if you have further queries. We'd be glad to further assist you with this. 

Regards,
Carly

That app certainly claims to be Roku’s app, but I think what can be confusing here is that the google play store offers apps for both Android phones and Android TVs, and it’s not that easy (for me at least) to tell which are which other than to inspect the list of my compatible devices.  Ie: this one claims to be compatible with my Android TV player, but not my phone, so I think it’s probably a TV-only app.

When I check the Google play store, it says the Roku Channel is available for all my devices. However, all of my devices are streaming players, not phones or tablets. And that might be the issue.
