TVLauncher

This app is the cleanest and all around best tv launcher out. Tried a bunch and keep this one at the end of it all. You can easily customize this app and I've never had a problem with apps launching when needed. Love the clean, simple interface. In fact, I paid for the no add version...worth it. My only gripe with this app is that it's little buggy when doing certain thing such as moving tiles around, but works after a few tires. Fix the bugs and I'll rate 5 stars.

This app is awesome. I use it on all generic Android TV boxes in my house. There are a few issues this app has. 1st, it could use some optimization for for devices with only one gig of RAM. Launcher chugs badly on them. 2nd-ly, better support for ROMS. You can create shortcut to your ROMS but mapping them to emulators needs help. Next, adding a popup notification system similar to Fire TV would be nice. Lastly, being able to edit the size of the section names or icons. Overall, a good launcher to use.

This is by far the best option for my android TV box. Ads are not too invasive and the launcher runs smoothly and is highly customize-able. However right now it has one major issue.. The android 5.1 (lollipop) top navigation bar and bottom navigation bar fail to appear properly when touching the extremities of the screen with a software cursor or touch. Be aware you may navigate this issue by installing an app killer but it is very annoying.

I installed it today on my tv box and its really good though there are many bugs in UI. I would love if they will all be fixed soon. I am thinking to use this launcher for a long time. And I think there is a potential for many more features to be provided in upgrades. I am on it. It is 5 start app with the fixes.

Overall it is good App. but there are some issues: 1. Some apps cannot be launched correctly, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, etc. are launched to Google Play App. 2. There is no restriction to add app more than once to favorite, but if you want to remove one duplication from favorite, it removes all. Hope it could be fixed, so five stars will come.

Great App. Just one question/issue- the wallpaper. What resolution/size do the wallpapers have to be? I have tried changing but cannot seem to have it fit the tv screen. It appears too large getting cut off and out of focus. I have tried resizing to various sizes without much luck.

I didn't love it until I realized you could customize the tiles. Now it looks sharp. Doesn't have too many crazy options, but is customizable enough to group different apps. Perfect. Paid for ad free because I like it so much.

This will be a 5 star launcher once the bugs are ironed out. For now though, this is the most bushleague bugridden software I've ever used. Tile creating and uploading is COMPLETELY BROKEN. Interface bugs constantly throughout the app. Did you chuckleheads even test before uploading?

Best launcher I believe available for the NVIDIA Shield TV. The only complaints are when removing a duplicate tile, it removes all associated to app. It would also be nice to have the section auto update when modifying the tiles. You have to click on another tile, then back to refresh. You are also not able to see the tiles move when moving them, so you have to count the presses (spaces) when moving. I believe I found a bug when adding a new section. I have 11 sections created now and it seems that when I add or change the position of a section, it pushes some out of order. These outstanding challenges are the only reason I don't rate this 5 stars.

Overall a great launcher for my television and tablet. Great customisation options. Love the subtle Material Design influence throughout the launcher. But there is some glitching on the app tiles whenever I get back to the home page. Hope you can fix it

I really like this app so far. Makes perfect sense for my generic Android TV Box. Everything works perfectly fine until I restart the box, the icons squeezes in and everything just looks horrible, I can make it go back to normal by force stopping the app but I will not ever be doing that everytime I turn it on (which is every morning and I turn the box off every night). I really wish the developers could respond to this and fix it in a very soon update as I was very close to buying the Support The Developer option until I came across this problem. I will give it a 5-star when this issue gets fixed. The launcher itself looks really good and just makes sense for any Android TV box that comes with a default launcher which more suits the touch interface like mobile phones and tablets. Thanks for the great app so far! I haven't seen anything else that good looking and simple to use in the Play Store so far. 4 stars out of 5! :)

Bought myself an Amlogic MXQ Pro Android TV box and I hated the bundled launcher. But I knew from the get go that I would end up replacing the launcher as I have to date never found one that was worth keeping on these cheaper devices. So after a working my way through the TV launchers on the play store I came across this app and I was quite impressed. Quick and easy to setup, actually turned out to be very customizable. I paid to remove the adds as its only fair to support the dev but you can quite easily live with the adverts as they are discrete. My TV box supports 4K resolution but as I am running the box on a standard 1080p TV I cant say whether the app actually supports 4K and scales the interface appropriately. As soon as I get my hands on a 4K TV I shall update my review. Overall having tried every single launcher on the playstore, Id say this is probably one of the best, if not the best TV launcher out there at the time of this review. Looks great, runs great and lets you customise everything from wallpapers to icons. Well worth the money!

At first I really loved this app. I could customize my icons and get a professional look on my android box. What's frustrating is anytime I use an app and go back to the home screen it defaults back to the box default and requires the launcher to be launched every time. This is annoying as I set tv launcher to be used "always". This bug fix would be nice otherwise I will look for another launcher.

This should be the default launcher on all Android TV boxes. After trying many others - including some not in the Play store, I've installed this on many boxes for friends. Love the space animation and user-contributed images (tiles)! Repositioning tiles and managing sections are awkward but not used enough to fuss over it. Keep up the good work!

I would give it five stars and even pay the $2.99 to remove the adds if the small glitches were taken care of and I would love to see the tiles able to be made translucent!

Don't know why this is only rated 3.7 at the time of my review. It is hands down the best launcher availale on the market, I tried all of them.

I just paid 3$ for ad free launcher and that's OK but how the heck could I make this launcher to be my main launcher? Every time I push "home" button my TV goes to stock launcher. There's no option for set this app to ne default app.

I've been using this for a few hours now and I've got to say this is amazing. I use my Nvidia Shield K1 tablet as my only media/gaming device and it's also the only device I have connected to my TV. This is by far the best TV launcher I've used. There are ads, but they are very unobtrusive, and it's only a few bucks to disable them.

Fantastic launcher for Android TV!! A little unstable at times though. Could you try an upgrade were I can resize the tiles??

this is actually as simple as it can get without to many navigation jumble. Just place the apps that you like and presto i can get to my side-loaded apps much quicker yeah!!!.

Perfect tv launcher, would not swap it for any other, easy to use and looks sleek on tv, very customisable, i just wish there was a way to backup the work i have done to a folder so i can restore it if i ever needed to factory reset my device.

Needs a fix for the date and time as it interfered with the time zone for some reason.

I'm giving this 5 stars because it is by far the best option for TV boxes. I love the official looking rectangular app icons and how you can add custom wallpapers. That being said I do believe there is room for improvement. The option to place the icons anywhere on the screen instead of placing the first one in the top left hand corner and working across and then down would be an improvement. I would love to see widgets integrated into the launcher. This launcher is designed for tv boxes so widgets that give TV and Movie recommendations such as the google play tv and movies or the IMDB and TVDB trailers would just about perfect this launcher.

Love this launcher, it's fully customisable to get your own unique look, I have it on all my TV boxes. Do not let the 3.7 rating fool you its much better than that. Keep up the great work awesome development.

I wish there was a setting to also will alter the buttons on the Google home remote or you're Shield remote or whatever remote you decide you're using because on my shield when I use this whenever a hold or long press my back button it used to be able to turn off my shoulder allow me to restart my shoulder pick any other power options now I cannot pick anything when I use this as my TV launcher so if you guys can at a setting for that like I've seen other TV launchers and other apps to do that would be awesome then I would be able to give five stars

Will give 5 stars when the minor glitches are fixed. Love the custom tiles. Great work dev, keep it up.

i wish there was an option to resize the tiles though, also, the tiles seem to refresh every time you switch categories and it looks weird, itd be better to keep the images in memory.

I'm running this on my TV box alongside Nova launcher so I can flick between the two. It's nearly perfect. Just a little bit more development and this will be awesome.

Having paired down my Android mi box to a half dozen most used apps, this one is great for displaying them somewhat like my vizio tv app bar.

Great interface. Only thing missing is a power menu directly from home screen. Other than that, no complaints.

I love this launcher but it's a little buggy. I can't move my icons around, used to work but won't work anymore.

i loved it :) but need one important request .Please make option to number of columns in home screen 5 & 6 , tile will be small That good for big tv

Its done what I wanted- made a simple remote friendly interface for my Minix Neo X8H plus. It does have its bugs though - often needs to change screens to see changes.

Great app. Was just what I wanted to make the home screen of my new android tv box clutter free and easy to read. Would like to see some more customisation and themes that users could download to change the screen for me. But I guess all that will come in time. Don't know what some of the bad reviews here are in about, this is the best there is currently. Thanks Dev/s

overall simple to use, needs an option to remove duplicate menu items. also I'm unable to see my android notifications via this menu which is unfortunate, because some apps like tunein radio i need to close from the notifications menu. Thank you

Iron out those bugs and add some more of the rudimental features ie icon resizing and this would be amazeballs

Has lots of bugs. I have 2 major issues: Click the "+" icon then the grey "Bookmark" icon...Where is the "ok", "create" or "add" button when trying to add a bookmark? I just see the form but no way to submit it? Click the "+" icon then the grey "shortcut" icon then the red "Bookmark" icon...How do you add your own Bookmarks to this section?

I installed on my Nvidia Shield Android TV, and it works really well. It's under continuous active development, too.

Looks nice but buggy! "Reposition" won't move the tile. It says "use the arrow keys to move" but nothing moved. Either arrow keys on remote (air mouse) or clicking on the on-screen arrow buttons, nothing moved. Made a mistake of setting the category of a tile, now the layout is messed up and can't be fixed because "reposition" does work in settings.

Speed improvements needed. Appearance is good. Overall concept is good just needs a few tweaks here and there. Ads are not intrusive. Definitely worth trying.
