The app was great until the latest update. I enjoyed being able to use my phone as a remote listening device instead of using the speakers on my TV. This was perfect for late night.
However, this latest update has made the app unusable... literally. It immediately crashes as soon as you open the app, which is quite annoying. I’ve tried closing the app, restarting my phone, and even hard restarting my phone... none of this has helped.
For reference, this is on an iPhone 6 running iOS 12.5.5.
The app works on my iPhone 12 pro max running iOS 15.6 just fine.
I hope this issue is addressed as I really enjoyed repurposing my old phone as a remote.
I loved this app it was probably one of my most used apps but this afternoon when I went to get on it to finish watching my movie it sent me back to the home screen this happened multiple times. I have uninstalled and reinstalled this app as well as shutting off and restarting my phone. If you could fix this I would genuinely appreciate it as I really did like the app but this and the fact that I could find nothing on how to fix it on the internet has frustrated me immensely.
So I was watching some anime on Netflix with my Roku. Suddenly it said. Are you Still Watching “Baki Hanma” Cause that’s what I was watching. So A Few Moments later I tried to grab the control. And I lost it. I looked everywhere But I Found The Roku App. So I Downloaded it. Though I looked everywhere I can’t find my control.
As now it’s on my device. I love this app ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This Roku app is the best thing since sliced bread. 😂 But seriously, it’s so convenient because people always have their phones on them so why not use the remote feature provided? This app came in clutch when I moved and couldn’t find my remote. The only negative thing is one of the shows on Roku skips and Customer Service was unhelpful. 🤷🏼♀️ Can’t win them all.
The app seems to never want to work I try to connect it to my tv so I can change the volume or what I am watching and it will never connect to my tv. In the Home Screen it will say it’s connected but as soon as I got to the remote it says I need to connect to my device and after doing everything possible to try and figure out why it won’t work nothing has changed.
If you don’t close the roku app yourself, it stays open indefinitely with the screen on until your phone dies. There doesn’t appear to be a setting to fix this. So if you hit “skip ad” on YouTube or something and forget to back out of it or close it, it will stay open all night and you’ll wake up with a dead phone in the morning. Not ideal.
I really used to love this app. Key word is used. A few days ago suddenly it just stop working, every time I open the app it instantly closes. I’ve tried restarting my phone, redownloading the app, closing all my other apps and nothing. I’m really disappointed this app was so good and useful but sadly not anymore.
Even with updates, this app consistently gets worse. You cannot hold down the buttons to rewind, so you have to spam press it about a 100 times to go back 10 minutes in a show. Not to mention having to turn on & off the wifi each time you want to connect to a different TV than the last roku you used.
This app works whenever it wants with my tv, YES I’m connected to wifi YES I know how to use technology my tv is connected to the same wifi as my phone YES i have a Roku tv, why does it say no devices available? Doesn’t allow me to do anything if I’m the only person with this problem what do I do ?
This app is perfect. I lost my remote, bought a replacement and it just stopped working so I needed something quick. This app is awesome because you can pick your channels from your phone without having to scroll all thru the homepage. You can also type to search and microphone if you really want.
