Which app? iOS or Android?
How are you going about this and what happens when you try?
I have the Nighthawk app on an Android phone. I open the app while in the wifi of the router and go to settings then Anywhere Access and Enable Anywhere Access. After a while I get message something went wrong. I have retried many times on different days. Others have reported same problem with different Nighthawk routers. They believe it is a problem in the firmware.
Does the Android app work apart from Anywhere Access?
In theory, Anywhere Access gets turned on by default:

Note the bit about managing a router with Anywhere Access.
If you find that Anywhere Access is not enabled, you could try a "factory reset".

Bit of a nuisance. You can backup your settings – always a good idea anyway – before you try that. Just in case it fails and you want to restore the settings.
Yes, other than Anywhere Access the App works fine.
