Description
TV Launcher brings 160+ live UK & Ireland TV channels that you know and love into one convenient launcher across Apple platforms. As the perfect app for cord-cutters, it’s never been easier to start watching live channels.
* As featured on iMore & 9to5Mac *
Appleʼs TV app makes it easy to track programmes that have already been on but for the occasions where you want to watch live, it’s not so straightforward. You’ll have to open the website, find where the channels list is on the website, locate the channel you want to watch and the press play.
TV Launcher takes away that pain by combining live channels from across multiple streaming apps into one location. Selecting a channel will then take you directly to the channel on the website without jumping through any hoops!
TV Launcher contains these great features:
UK & IRELAND STREAMING PLATFORMS
TV Launcher supports all of the main UK & Ireland streaming platforms that have live TV - plus many more too! You’ll be able to jump straight to channels in BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, My5, UKTV Play, NOW (Sky), Discovery+, Sky Go, EE TV, STV Player, RTÉ Player, Virgin Media Player, TG4 Player, DAZN, YouTube, Pluto TV, Rakuten TV, Amazon Prime Video, Freevee, YouTube, Plex, DAZN, Viaplay, MUTV, NBA, Sky News, TalkTV, GB News, euronews, France 24, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg, Cheddar News, CBS, QVC, TJC, TBNUK and NHK World.
WIDGETS & SHORTCUTS
Widgets are available for Watch Now, Now & Next, TV Guide and Channels Widgets, so you'll be able to see what's on and select channels without even opening the app!

Ratings and Reviews
The app ive been waiting for!
I've been looking for a way of using freeview and other premium services like nowtv, discovery etc on my apple TV for a long time. The biggest issue is the lack of a central TV guide bring in all freeview and pay to view apps in one place. This more than fills that gap. Very quick to load and update, multiple customisation options, and a very smart TV guide, now or next guide and larger overview of all channels. Very smart too how seemlessly it opens the channel app directly into the live channel you select. Simple, Smart and Perfect
It's ok, has a few issues here and there...
This app has a lot of potential and I hope development will continue. My main issues are...
1. Some of the listings in the TV guide section are unreadable as the boxes are way too small.
2. Channels such as GB News and QVC are listed and yet they are not supported?
3. Navigating up and down the TV guide results in earlier or later listings being selected.
Developer Response ,
Hi, thank you for your feedback! I’ll take a look into the issues you’ve mentioned.
With regards to GB News & QVC (+others), these channels may only be available to launch properly on some platforms but have been included anyway for consistency and the ability to view them in the TV Guide.
Could you email support@adamfoot.dev with more details about the last bug you mention so I can look into it please?
The app Apple TV was missing
This is exactly the app my wife has been crying out for! No real idea why Apple doesn't include something similar to this out of the box, and they could do a lot worse than buy the rights to this app.
Maybe it's an age and conditioning thing, but looking through a TV guide for something to throw on seems second nature. Have often ended up watching something unexpected just through scrolling.
Clean, logical interface with nice customisable settings. Integration into the top shelf makes its use more natural, and being able to add to up next is a great touch.
Best fiver I've spent in a while. Price of a coffee, no brainer. Great work!
