When are you going to fix your app remote not finding devices issue

So your developers broke the app and many people can't use it when will your company take notice and fix it?  I even have 2 of the 3 of my roku dev8ces associated to my online account and still can't use the app as a remote. Either fix it or I will get rid of roku products sick of wasting my time on your app and getting no responses to questions.  Ridiculous that your company messed it up and won't fix! Worthless and makes no sense not to fix the issues you created with updates!!! Either give a solution or shut it down.

Re: When are you going to fix your app remote not finding devices issue

Hi @Mama50055,

We're really sorry for this experience. May we know the following details?

  • Have you tried uninstalling and installing the app?
  • Roku mobile app version
  • Mobile phone brand, model, and current version?
  • Another phone we could use to see if the same issue occurs.

Please keep us posted.

Regards,
Janadee

@Mama50055-

No such problem here, using the Roku app on several Android devices.  Are you using Android or iOS?

Re: When are you going to fix your app remote not finding devices issue

So I had help up to the answering of if I have the latest version of the remote app and what phone I use and then Roku just stopped replying. Thanks for nothing! What was the point of reaching out and asking the questions if you were just going to bail on helping? I have no respect for such companies or people. Useless is worthless!!!

Re: When are you going to fix your app remote not finding devices issue

My network access is set to default. My TV and phone have the same network and use only that network. Manually inputting the last 3 digits of me internet address still does not find thwsystem. I am still using a Samsung s21 ultra with the most up to date version of the app.  Nothing seen or suggested makes the app recognize any of the 3 tvs I never had ab issue with until a few months ago, they have always worked and been recogn9ze up to the point of updating of the app once that happened your remote app no longer recognized any of my tvs and now I am testing this stuff over and over for your feedback and still no matter how many tests I do. The app does not recognize or act like I have any roku devices
