They do the job for free and you don’t have to flick back and forth between apps ### 4/5 — Great but missing one thing *2026-03-07, version 3.0.8* Simply put nothing this useful for AppleTV, in fact this app is why I kept the thing having come from an Amazon stick. However one feature would really help, to be able to hide channels by provider, I don’t have sky but manually hiding each one would be a pain. ### 5/5 — The best option! *2026-02-28* If you use Apple TV and want a satellite/cable TV like experience, this is the app for you. I absolutely love this software, the Home Screen especially - being able to scroll through all the different listings with thumbnails and having your favourites listed at the top, it’s a great app and absolutely worth the one time purchase price. Hopefully he’s able to keep it affordable so even more people can experience this legendary piece of software. Hats off to Adam on this product, well done 👏 ### 5/5 — ‘The’ app for AppleTV *2026-02-22, version 3.0.7* How did I not know about this app!? Having used the ‘guide’ on Firestick to easily find current free channels, my AppleTV just continued to annoy me…until now! An excellent, well documented, comprehensive app, that seems to work flawlessly. Just ‘buy it’ in my opinion! It’s a ‘well done and thanks’ to the developer from me. ### 5/5 — Perfect app for streaming *2026-01-24, version 3.0.4* This app has a clean UI and keeps everything all in one place so you can just load the tv guide and click what you want to watch and it will launch the app instantly! Fantastic design ### 4/5 — Channel guide removed! *2026-01-22, version 3.0.4* Been using for awhile on Apple TV but an update has resulted in the very thing it was made for…..it’s removed the Tv guide? Useless now Edit issue now resolved although I would far prefer it to load to the TV guide on start rather than have to go and look for it ### 4/5 — good but *2026-01-11, version 3.0.4* i wish it would a) flag which channels you need to pay for and b) allowed me to set up a favourites list so i dont have to see most channels i don’t subscribe to ### 2/5 — Removed channels *2026-01-09, version 3.0.4* Really disappointed that some news channels have been removed or no longer supported ### 4/5 — What happened to the top shelf? *2026-01-07, version 3.0.4* The top shelf on Apple TV no longer shows the channels anymore. Just the TV Launcher logo. Would have been five stars otherwise. ### 4/5 — Decent App *2025-12-27, version 3.0.4* It’s a decent app but it’s got its limitations. There are a lot of channels that you get on Freeview channels that for whatever reason, are not available using this app ### 5/5 — Brilliant app to help move away from Sky *2025-12-21, version 3.0.4* Superb app that simplifies the viewing of ‘live’ TV and is helping the family after cancelling Sky Q. The recent update has really improved the UX a lot. ### 5/5 — Channel guide removed! *2025-12-08, version 3.0.1* Been using for awhile on Apple TV but an update has resulted in the very thing it was made for…..it’s removed the Tv guide? Useless now ### 2/5 — Ok but doesn’t fully work *2025-12-07, version 3.0.1* Started off ok, but since the update there is no access to the programme guide which is the main reason I purchased it, instead its a screen full of tiles (list has gone) and not all in one place like what it used to be (like what you get on the sky tv guide). Feels like a waste of money as only had a few weeks. ### 5/5 — Now really works in Apple TV 4K 2022 (latest version). *2025-12-07, version 3.0.1* Thank you so much Adam for creating this fabulous app and fixing the scrolling with TV guide for the Apple TV streaming box. This app is the only working solution for Apple TV. The scrolling part in the TV guide previously never worked eg skipping sections or stops working resulting in a reset of the app. This is now a real alternative to Sky Stream and don’t regret it at all. If you still want to watch a few programs you can just dip in and out of NOW TV or any other app. Be sure to set TV to 4K SDR (50 Hz as 60hz is not smooth) for live tv broadcasts, then match screen settings for everything else. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-12-04, version 3.0.1* If you’ve got Apple TV, this is a must have ### 5/5 — Best TV Guide for AppleTV *2025-12-02, version 3.0* I have been looking for a TV guide to pull together all my live channels into a single place. The shamelessly brings together live streams of BBC channels ITV channels, Channel 4, Channel 5, and NOW TV. Seamlessly takes you straight into the live channel when you want to watch a program and you can add things to a watchlist. This is a real must for anyone who still likes their live TV but once everything in one place on their Apple TV. FYI, the latest update absolutely kills it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good but annoying *2026-04-24, version 3.1.4* Using this on the Apple TV after the recent update is frustrating. For some bizarre reason it has defaulted from SkyGo to EE. The option to set your preferred app in Settings has also been removed. This means that you have to go into each channel individually, and choose SkyGo. Absolutely ridiculous. ### 1/5 — DESTORYED the app with new layout *2026-01-21, version 3.0.4* Go back to tv with channel icons new layout sucks. Tv channels with what’s on should be default page not this horrible layout. The fact developer wants me to spell it out to them shows how clueless they are and how much they screwed this app up. ### 1/5 — DESTORYED the app with new layout *2025-12-25, version 3.0.4* Go back to tv with channel icons new layout sucks. Tv channels with what’s on should be default page not this horrible layout. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2025-12-13* Just downloaded this because the description implied I’d be able to access my existing apps with live tv through here. You have to set each channel in the tv listings to an app, which would be fine if it included more than a handful. CBS, for example, I would stream through Paramount+ but it’s not there. From the description, I thought I’d be able to access Pluto live listings. Nope. I want a refund! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-11-24* It’s useless if you’re not in the UK App Store and not in the UK. I asked for a refund within 24 hours and was denied. Disappointed with the app and Apple. Poor service all around. I’ll not risk buying any more streaming services from Apple again. ### 1/5 — Why *2025-11-08* I was about to download the app and did it. I was about to watch BBC One and then it asked to download BBC But it’s not allowed on my region. WASTE OF MONEY! **Developer response:** Hi, This is clearly mentioned in the app description. Please email support@adamfoot.dev for further help. Thanks, Adam ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-10-21* Neither the TV Guide nor the Watch on App feature work. The TV guide does not populate any data at all. Despite multiple messages to the developer last week I have not heard back. Will be requesting a refund as soon as I am able. Don’t waste your time with this **Developer response:** Hi, Apologies for the delay in response. An update will be available soon to fix this. Thanks, Adam ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-08-04, version 2.12.21* Purchased but does not work with Virgin Go, so I’m not sure why the settings allow configuration for the service if it just directs you to open the Virgin app manually. ### 1/5 — Avoid *2025-06-22, version 2.12.19* If you want to watch ITVX app, I advise you to stay away from TVLauncher. In my experience it breaks the app and stops you being able to watch live news, et cetera. ### 1/5 — Iwanted to watch FATHER BROWN *2025-06-18, version 2.12.19* ANAall it kept showing mre was the chelsey detective.so why cant i see the program i ask for ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nearly perfect *2026-08-16, version 3.1.10* Great fast intuitive app to watch live TV launched from a slick TV guide. The only thing missing for my usage is to launch your chosen programme from a previous day or time, from the TV guide or watchlist, directly into the linked streaming app. There is a workaround for this by opening the programme from the TV guide into the Apple TV app and watchlisting it there but having it all in TV Launcher would be a game changer. ### 5/5 — Great, works well *2026-07-16, version 3.1.10* Great app makes it easier to watch tv on ATV. Wonder in the future if they could add the option to record tv? ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-07-03, version 3.1.10* What a great simple app. Bought it as our Freeview aerial packed in. Makes watching tv via the guide a neat experience. love it. ### 5/5 — Game Changer *2026-06-07, version 3.1.9* As somebody who doesn’t have an Ariel or satalight by having the ability to play all my channels from an Apple TV is very continent. The price is justified from the lack of ads alone. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-06-02, version 3.1.9* What a great app. It’s solved all my signal strength issues. I wish I’d found it sooner. No more app hopping looking for something to watch to watch on LIVE tv across all streaming channels. I can’t wait to see what future developments are to come. Well done to the app developer ### 5/5 — Excellent App, essential for Apple TV users *2026-04-13, version 3.1.2* Best TV app bringing together many platforms into one guide. Any chance Disney Jr and Disney+ Cinema can be added to the lineup as have been going a while now on sky go and still not in the listing ### 5/5 — Now to *2026-04-06, version 3.1.2* Good app but it won’t launch now tv until I go into the now app and open it first ### 5/5 — Great little app *2026-03-30, version 3.1.2* Very useful app, syncs across all my devices and developer is very responsive if you have any issues. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Finally, a Proper Way to Watch Live TV *2026-03-13, version 3.0.8* TV Launcher has completley changed how I watch live TV on Apple TV. It gives me a clean, modern EPG and lets me jump straight into any channel with one or two taps. No fuss, no app‑hopping, no getting stuck in a broadcaster’s app trap. I’m actually choosing what I want to watch again instead of just drifting into whatever happens to be on next. It’s simple, fast, and exactly what the platform has been missing. Thank you for building this, it’s made live TV enjoyable again. ### 5/5 — TV Launcher-Live UK Channels. *2026-03-06, version 3.0.8* I recommend the TV Guide app Tv launcher is really outstanding to use throughout the day by day and at night time as well fantastic service-I will give that as follows =100 out of 100 percent. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
