How to play multiplayer on minecraft pe 0.7.1 using Wi-Fi?

Me and some friends have been trying to play multiplayer on minecraft pocket edition and we're all on the same Wi-Fi and we all have our "local server multiplayer" button in the options on. I've watched several YouTube videos on how to do it and we're doing it right it's just not working. Is it a problem with my Wi-Fi? Someone told me I might need to open a port or something like that on my Wi-Fi but I'm not sure what he meant. We tried connecting with Bluetooth as well and that didn't work. I have an s4 and my friends have iPhone 5's but that shouldn't matter.

Minecraft Realms is still in development, that could be why.

  • What's your favorite device to play minecraft on? Xbox, tablet, iphone? Etc Btw if you wana play with me I play on xbox add me jollybelly97 I'm a begginer tho
  • What are some of the best multiplayer games to play for IPhone? Just looking for something to play with a female friend. So probably not a first person shooter or racing game. Preferably ones that are free to play.
  • Multiplayer minecraft mobile? Is there an app or something where I can play multiplayer for minecraft on my iPhone? Like one that will connect to Minecraft and let me play with friends.
  • Multiplayer apps like Blockheads or Minecraft? Ok so basically I really like to play Minecraft on my computer and then my friend told me about Blockheads for iPhone which is basically the same. I'm looking for more apps for iPhone and iPod like blockheads. Something that you can play multiplayer and be able to talk to the other person and see their figure. I might be asking too much, Blockheads is pretty damn good. I would like it to be free but if you have to pay a little that could be ok.
