## Description

TV Launcher brings live British & Irish TV channels into one convenient launcher across Apple platforms. As a cord-cutters' solution, it lets you jump straight to channels in supported apps like BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, Channel 5, NOW, and more, bypassing tedious navigation.

**Key features:** regional tuning, iCloud syncing, widgets and shortcuts (Siri Shortcuts, HomePod), watchOS support, a full TV guide with channel artwork, watchlist, now & next, favourites, hide channels, and universal purchase. Note: a channel requires its respective app to be installed to watch.

## Review summary

Feedback portrays the app as a useful central hub and shortcuts-enabled tool, with quick updates; however, it mainly links to external streaming apps rather than delivering live TV, and is hampered by regional limitations, unreliable guide data, and required third‑party accounts. Many users question value for money and some report unresponsiveness in support.

### Pros

- Acts as a central hub for live TV and provides a familiar transitional tool for traditional TV users.
- Supports Shortcuts for automation.
- Developer responsiveness and timely updates when issues are reported.
- Perceived as a good app with potential.

### Cons

- Does not provide direct TV streams; only links to external apps that require separate subscriptions.
- Regional restrictions and limited availability (notably in the U.S.), making many channels inaccessible.
- TV Guide data often fails to populate and some features don’t work.
- Requires linking multiple third‑party accounts to access content.
- Paid app that many users feel is not worth the money due to ongoing non‑functional features.
