i did remove wifi from phone, connected again. it worked. but again after 1 or two hours i lost connection and never connected again. I did complete network reset on iphone and mac (where i have the Kodi) and it was working whole day then again i lost connection on phone and never worked again. I dont know why this is happening? from phone safari i cannot access IP:8080 but from mac it works always fine. iPad with iOS 9.3.5 does not have a problem. I turned of router firewall, nothing changed...

Ok I finally figured it out, recently i changed my cable modem router. It has dual band 5 ghz and 2.4 wifi signal and they both work under the same SSID. Some devices such as my iPhone supports both bands and switches between bands without my knowledge (it was very hard to figure this out) so luckily i found out about that and locked my phone to same band as my Mac. I am glad there was MAC address assignment in the router settings with band selection. So from now on both Kodi installed Mac and iphone wil be under the same band wifi, which solves my connection lost to the remote server problem. Hope this helps to the community in case somebody comes across to this problem.

I'm having similar issues with Kodi remote.
It used to work for years...but not anymore.
On my MBP(OS-X) I can connect to Kodi without a problem, using Safari as well as Chrome.
On my iPhone I get connection time-outs with kodi remote and no connection with Safari as well as Chrome.
Add host will give the right info instantly...but no connection...
I changed the name of Kodi on my HTPC (Win10) and that new name shows up when I try to add a new host in Kodi remote on the iPhone....but no connection.
The right MAC address shows up for the Kodi server (on the HTPC) but no connection....
I'm lost!
BTW: both MBP and iPhone running latest iOS and OS-X

I have the same problem, is your kodi using wifi or a cable connection?
I use a cable connection.

all on wifi, for me it was having different frequency of wifi on mac (where kodi is) and phone. Phone was changing from 5 ghz to 2.4 ghz as it pleases. So i had to manually assign the phone in the modem to stay only on 5ghz which is my mac is on all the time. it is really something to do with the modem/router. Maybe connection time out can be bit longer to solve this issue, but i dont know. It was annoying for a long time.

What do you mean you have misplaced the Kodi Remote.? Do you mean you have lost your iphone and ipad? Or do you mean that you have lost your traditional remote control and want to install the Kodi iOS app?
