I am in the US running the Android Roku app version 9.0.0.1704757 on:

  • Samsung A43 5G phone running Android 13
  • Lenovo TB-8705F tablet, running Anrdoid 10

I have mic buttons for all three of the Rokus listed in my signature block below, but my control layout differs from AvsGunnar's - some buttons above cursor control cross instead of below.  Slightly different app versions for mobile device or android version differences, perhaps?

Yours looks more similar to Dmytro and also uses the "Apps on Roku" field.

I am using an older version on Android (7.0), on a MotoZ, and the Roku mobile app is version 7.8.3.735316.

I guess Roku is now using Apps terminology on some versions of their mobile app.  Why stay consistent?
