    Thank you for your post in the Roku community, martisg1! 

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and suggestions with us. We appreciate your input! 

    While we don't have the feature you're looking for at the moment, we'll make sure to pass along your suggestions to the appropriate team for consideration.

    Perhaps this could be considered as a helpful suggestion. If you have a Roku Voice remote, you can use it to search directly for what you're looking for using the push-to-talk button. Alternatively, you can use the Roku mobile app remote to search for channels easily. 

    It may also be helpful to move the app to the upper part of your list or mark it as a favorite for easier access. 

    For further information, you may visit our support page on How to move channels on your Roku® streaming device. and on How to set up a favorites channel list with Roku's Live TV Channel Guide. 

    Hope you'll find this info useful. Let us know in case you still have any questions.

    Best regards,
    Jharra

That’s such a thoughtful idea! It can definitely be tricky for older folks to navigate multiple streaming apps, so sending her a direct link sounds like a great solution. I actually came across some helpful tips on setting up user-friendly streaming at thereviewsit.com , especially for people who aren’t too tech-savvy. Maybe creating a shortcut on her device or TV home screen could help too. She’s lucky to have someone like you looking out for her!
