Comments on Android TV Core Services for Android

★★★★★ Elliot Mihai · Aug 29, 2021

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 welcome. 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.

The last update added giant "staff pick" ads with no option to turn them off. FYI, I paid $7000 US for my 77" Sony OLED, so there should not be any reason to see ads on a premium device. If I keep seeing ads, this will be my last Android TV.

★☆☆☆☆ Edward Ballard-Sholly · Sep 3, 2020

Android TV now has large ads across the top of it's home screen. There is no way to disable these ads, and they take up a huge portion of the screen real estate. Google should at least give us a way to opt out in the settings.

★☆☆☆☆ Vince Slevin · Aug 21, 2020

Latest update overwhelms the Android TV home screen with advertising. Very unhappy with this! Looking at alternative platforms...
