Hi @Cece6,

Thanks for the inquiry, and welcome to the Roku Community!

The Roku mobile app is a free application for iOS and Android devices that turns your mobile device into the ultimate streaming companion. Watch hundreds of hit movies, TV shows, and more when you are on the go, directly from The Roku Channel tab, or turn your mobile device into a control center for your Roku streaming player or Roku TV. Not only can you launch channels, navigate the Roku interface, and search and issue commands with your voice, but you can also share personal photos and videos on your TV, listen privately with your headphones, and more.

To use the Roku mobile app to connect to your Roku device, you must connect your mobile device to the same wireless network as your Roku device. Some mobile app features are not supported on all Roku devices. You can use the Roku device comparison chart to determine which features are supported on your device. Certain features may require signing in to your Roku account.

For more information, you may check out this support article here on how to install the Roku mobile app.

We hope this helps. Please keep us posted if there's anything else we can do to assist you.

All the best,
John
