Jump to solution

What’s the update on this? My app is at the point where it won’t even open anymore, even after restarting my phone or reinstalling the app

This issue has persisted for months across multiple ios updates and Roku app updates. Does Roku develop their own app? Is this information even getting to the app developers? Has the Roku ios app just been abandoned and orphaned? Is there some method or mechanism to schedule an online chat with an actual technical person to communicate these issues coherently? The fact that this has gone on since October-ish of 2024 with no resolution is disappointing.

This has been happening for a week for me. No error messages. I use the app to launch a service, go to sky other app on my phone, go back to the Roku app and it’s non responsive. I have to force with the app and relaunch to use the remote. 
iPhone 15 Pro iOS 18.3.1
