User reviews

Your home screen will not look like the images shown here. Google got greedy and started pushing advertisements on the top 1/3 of the home screen. Ads contain images not suitable for younger viewers, raunchy advertisements, etc. I just want the launcher that came with the device I purchased. Google got greedy and ruined the Android TV experience.

Definitely hate the ads spotlight on the top for services i don't have and i don't want on a TV that cost way too much money.

Updating this app did not cause any ads to appear on the home screen of my Sony TV. Ads placed on my home screen were instead controlled by the Android TV Home app as part of the "Cinematic Highlights" update. If, like me, you were appalled by this, I recommend you uninstall the Android TV Home app, disable auto-updates, and write an appropriate review on the Android TV Home app page. I hope that by not having the latest update for the Android TV Home app, my experience has not actually been different to what others have described, but otherwise, performance updates will always welcomed. I honestly considered the Android TV OS a great experience before ads were pushed on loyal consumers. You can still do the right thing, Google.
