How to connect your phone to a Roku

  1. 1

    Same Wi‑Fi

    Connect your phone to the Wi‑Fi network the Roku is on. Guest networks and VPNs keep them apart.

  2. 2

    Allow mobile apps

    On the Roku, Settings › System › Advanced system settings › Control by mobile apps › Network access should be Default.

  3. 3

    Pick your Roku

    Open Kliky and choose the Roku from the list. Roku asks for no code.

  4. 4

    Start controlling

    Kliky reconnects by itself whenever both are on the same network.

Roku remote app not working?

Open Help

Roku not found in the app

Put the phone on the same Wi‑Fi as the Roku, turn off VPNs and avoid guest networks. On the Roku open Settings, System, Advanced system settings, Control by mobile apps, Network access and choose Default.

The Roku is on a new Wi‑Fi network

Join that network on your phone too. If the Roku never connected to the new network, it is offline and needs to be reconnected first.

Volume does not change

On a Roku TV volume works directly. With a Roku player, the TV has to accept volume over HDMI‑CEC.

Keyboard not showing

Select a search or password field on the Roku first, then open the keyboard in Kliky.

A Roku remote on your phone

Every Roku player, Streaming Stick and Roku TV accepts remote commands from devices on the same Wi‑Fi. Kliky uses that to give you the full Roku remote on your iPhone or Android: the D‑pad, Home, Back, the options key, playback and, on Roku TVs, volume and power.

It adds what the plastic remote lacks: a keyboard for searches and passwords, voice search through your phone’s microphone, private listening through the headphones connected to your phone, and shortcuts to your channels.

Remote control for Roku TV and Roku players

Kliky works as a Roku TV remote and as a remote for Roku Express, Premiere, Ultra, Streaming Stick, Streaming Stick 4K and Streambar. Roku TVs from TCL, Hisense, onn., Philips, Element, Westinghouse, RCA and Sharp all run the same Roku software, so one remote layout fits them all.

The Roku has to be connected to your Wi‑Fi, and your phone has to be on the same network. A Roku that is offline cannot be found by any phone app. If yours lost its network, start with connect a Roku to Wi‑Fi without a remote.

Roku remote online, on iPhone and on Android

There is no website that controls a Roku over the internet. Every “online Roku remote” works across your own Wi‑Fi, and browser versions usually ask for the Roku’s IP address. A phone app finds the Roku by itself. Details are in Roku remote online.

When the Roku remote is lost or not working

A phone remote keeps you watching while you fix or replace the plastic one. Work through Roku remote not working, re-pair it with how to pair a Roku remote, or see which replacement remote fits your Roku.

Kliky and the official Roku app

Roku’s own app is a capable remote. It asks you to sign in to a Roku account before you can use it. Kliky is an independent app, not affiliated with Roku: it opens straight to the remote, needs no account, and also controls Fire TV, Samsung, LG and other TVs in the same home.
