TV Launcher brings many live US 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 programs 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 app, find where the channels list is within the app, 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 in the app without jumping through any hoops!
TV Launcher contains these great features:
US STREAMING PLATFORMS
TV Launcher supports many US streaming platforms that have live TV! You’ll be able to jump straight to channels in CBS, ABC, NBC, FXNOW, TNT, TBS, Nat Geo TV, Tubi, Pluto TV, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Plex, ESPN, DAZN, NBA, MUTV, CNN, Bloomberg, Sky News, euronews, France 24, Al Jazeera and NHK World.
WIDGETS & SHORTCUTS
Multiple widgets are available so you'll be able to see what's on and select channels without even opening the app! Support for Siri Shortcuts means you can watch channels, fetch listings and perform other actions using just your voice on this device or a connected HomePod!
There is also a Shortcut that will allow you to open the channel on your linked Apple TV too!
APPLE WATCH
Quickly see what's on now & next or add a Complication to your Watch Face with the TV Launcher app for Apple Watch. There's support for viewing a full day's listings and details about each program too.

View what’s on for every channel in one place with full artwork for each channel and the ability to jump into the program to find out more.

Please note that to watch a selected channel, you will need the respective app installed. Some channels may only launch the app due to availability in the corresponding app. TV Launcher cannot be guaranteed to work outside of the supported regions due to the availability of supported apps in specific countries. All channels, their content and respective trademarks are owned by them and this app is not affiliated with them in any way.
I guess I misunderstood how the app works? I had thought that I could watch the TV shows directly through the app. I found out that I need to link a bunch of third-party TV accounts to the app, in order to watch the TV shows. Since I don't have any third-party TV accounts that I can link to the app, unfortunately the app does not work for me. I will see if I can get a refund from Apple for my purchase price?

What the TV App is missing.

Have you transitioned from OTA broadcasts to streaming and wondered where the love was for live TV and the traditional EPG? Need you wonder anymore. This app is perfect for those looking for a central hub for live TV, and acts as a superb transitional tool for older generations looking for familiarity. Better still, it supports Shortcuts!
Pretty good

I was having an issue so I emailed the dev. He responded pretty quickly and within a couple of days there was an app update to resolve the issue I was having! That’s pretty good in my book.
In this update:
- Added the ability to disable grouping by category in the TV Guide or Now & Next screens so custom priorities will now apply across all channels instead of just within categories.
- Improved the performance of widgets.
- Fixed a bug where categories were not sorted correctly in the TV Guide.
- Other bug fixes & improvements.
