Android TV Home launcher is Google’s new and improved launcher. It works in conjunction with TV Core Services. It has a functional home screen for managing applications on your Android TV and media console.
The Core Services add-on allows the Launcher to work with Google’s TV video library. It is essentially similar to Google Play on smartphones, which links all applications from Google and they cannot work without it.
The app has a multilingual interface and also requires an android version of at least 8.0 Oreo installed on your device. No ads.
