Features, settings & updates

I know there is no way to automatically launch an app when my Roku streaming stick starts up when powering up my TV.  That's covered in many posts. Also a new remote with programmable buttons would not help much because my TV does not have the CEC function.  Programming a button to just go to an app once in the menu (and not be able to also start the TV) would not save much time and effort. I want to press the power button on my TV to start the TV and Roku (it does this now) but also go right to the app I use every day. Without this, it makes Roku seem real inferior to other streaming devices. 

My question is 'how to get this to Roku development teams?'.  I don't see how to suggest enhancements.  This has been a complaint for many years and not addressed. I don't need to see the main menu unless  I want to start an app I don't use regularly.
