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 easily than with the on‐screen keyboard on
your TV. Or, search by touching the Voice 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.
For more information, see Roku mobile app.
