Roku mobile app

[r0kumonkey]

Within the past week iphone app is freezing up if I lock my screen and return, or navigate away from the roku app and return. Most of the time the audio stays connected, but the screen itself freezes. If I close out the app and reopen it, it just freezes at the purple roku splash screen. I have to either wait several minutes or reboot my phone to get the roku app to successfully open. The roku app appears to be the only app misbehaving on my phone. ios 17.6.1 roku app software version 11.4.2.17021903.1

App stopped locking up after update for a week-ish. Started again this morning. I think there was another update last night. Roku app 11.5.0.17792423.44. IOS 17.6.1

On the left, phone active, and on the right, phone being inactive. Have to close the app and reopen. Software is up to date.

 The issue still persists. Close the app and reopen.

The issue still persists with uninstalling & reinstalling app, rebooting iphone, closing & opening app.  It started with a Roku app upgrade.  Please fix this bug.

Mine freezing as well. Please fix

Yup, mine has been freezing for at least a week... is it a Roku app update or the latest IOS?

It is infuriating either way.
