What's a good Android app for controlling my Roku when I can't find the darn remote...again?

Well, after trying a few, I found 'Remote Control for Roku TV' by SoulApps Studio. It's surprisingly intuitive, even for me!

Honestly, I lose the Roku remote more often than I care to admit. The dog probably hides it. Anyway, I was looking for something to save me from tearing the couch apart every other day. I tried a few different apps, and 'Remote Control for Roku TV' by SoulApps Studio was the one that stuck. It took me a few days to figure out all the features, I'm not gonna lie, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty useful. My students showed me a trick for quickly connecting it – something about making sure both the phone and Roku are on the same Wi-Fi network. Why do they hide the settings button there, though? Anyway, it's like having a teaching assistant in your pocket, but for your TV. It even has a keyboard for searching, which is way easier than using the on-screen one with the regular remote.

Has a keyboard for easier searching (thank goodness!).
