Voice control remote, are there any limitations?

I am contemplating buying the new voice controlled remote. I do hate having to scroll through to select a channel this new remote sounds like it may be the solution. I want to know if the voice control will work within an uploaded app like DirectTV and others?

    It's great that you're considering the Roku voice remote to make your TV viewing experience more convenient. Voice search using a compatible Roku voice remote display results in a visual, easy to browse a display of movie and TV show artwork rather than a text-based list of options.
