Google Search app for Roku

I installed the Google Search app on my Roku device, and it said I'd be promoted to log into my Google account, but I wasn't. Now I can't get it to work, I can't navigate through any of the page after it loads, and I think it's because I'm not logged into my Google account? I've seen that somebody else had the same problem, but I didn't see any solution. He's anybody been able to use this app at all, or is Google just getting rich by charging everybody $4.99 for an app that doesn't work?

Re: Google Search app for Roku

I looked through the channel store, and I saw several apps that included google in their names, but none of the ones I looked at were created by Google.  As for getting rich: if some guy can write an app and get one out of every ten thousand Roku users to use it, that would be a pretty significant amount of money for him.

Banned but back. Because why not?

Do you have a curser? If so, how did you enable?

Re: Google Search app for Roku

I could not get a cursor to come up. I could go down the page, but not highlight or click on anything. There was a menu on the right of the page, and I clicked on log in, but once the log in screen came up, I couldn't navigate to the username or password spaces to log in. There was a forward arrow up by the address bar that I could toggle to but it didn't do anything. Do you know how to enable a cursor?
