Roku mobile app

[Dmytro]

Hey,

I have roku express 3930EU. Roku website says that I can use Roku app for Android for remote functionality and it includes voice search/controls. However, the app does not seem to have a mic button

Here's a screenshot:

I'm using Android app. My phone is Samsung S21. 

What might be the issue and how can I fix it?

Thank you in advance!

I don't have an Express model, but the app on my iPhone has a mic button on the remote tab. I checked it after connecting to three different Roku players, a 4800, 3920 and 3941. However, since you appear to be in Europe (because of the EU in your model number), it's possible that voice search isn't available in your area. I know that some features are location-specific, but I don't know if voice search is one of them.

That screenshot looks a bit different from my Android Roku mobile app.  Roku refers to their channels/apps as "channels" where your screenshot indicates "Apps on Roku" in lower right corner.  I would verify that you have downloaded and installed the official Roku Remote app.  In the Play Store, it will be named "The Roku App (Official)" and will indicate Roku Inc. as the developer.

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?
