Re: Remote app doesn’t work anymore nor will my Roku remote

Same!!

I mean I’ve had connection issues with my Roku tv off and on but for the most part everything has worked up till now. 
iphone 14 pro max, most current version of the app. 
I’ve tried everything but my app wont even recognize my tv as a Roku device anymore. I used the manual method to try to connect the app so I can use the remote. Put in the tv’s IP address, and the app says “no roku devices are found at this address”

Re: Remote app doesn’t work anymore nor will my Roku remote

So here's an update: I tried connecting to my Roku TV from the Roku app this morning (3 days after reporting the problem, above) and now it connects. The only thing that's different between now and before (to my knowledge) is I installed the latest iOS version on my iPhone yesterday (16.6). I didn't install the iOS update to fix the Roku connection issue (wasn't even thinking about Roku when I updated the iOS) but guessing now that has something to do with it. Sure would be nice to hear something real from Roku about this.

Re: Roku mobile app not working

Hello! @5Ranges,

Thank you for reaching out to the Roku Community! 

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention for having an issue connecting your Roku mobile app to your Roku device. We can help get this sorted.

If your Roku device is missing from the discovery screen, check that your phone or tablet is configured properly.

  • Is your phone or tablet connected to the correct Wi-Fi network?
  • Confirm Wi-Fi access is enabled on your Roku device
  • Verify your network is configured properly

Turn the free Roku mobile app on your phone into a remote by choosing your Roku streaming device when you first launch the app. If your Roku device does not appear on this initial discovery screen, you can try the troubleshooting tips outlined in this article: How to connect the Roku mobile app to your Roku device over Wi-Fi

Please keep us posted on what you find out and we will be happy to continue assisting you further. We look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks,

Arjiemar

Re: Roku mobile app not working

You can’t be this slow, they’ve already stated that all the connections are correct and it’s configured properly and it still doesn’t work !! You guys are talking in circles instead of actually helping us w the problem !!
