Searching from the Roku mobile app
Use the free Roku mobile app on your compatible smartphone or tablet to make
searching even faster. Use your mobile device's keypad to type more quickly and

Search icon and saying the name of the movie, TV program, actor, director, genre,
streaming channel, or game.
When you use the Roku mobile app to search, search results are shown on your
mobile device instead of on the TV screen. When you make a selection from the
search results, the TV starts playing the selected program.
