Description

Dispatch is a new launcher for Android TV that integrates with your existing media from Plex.

Dispatch can be used to connect to your existing Plex library and browser your content in a unified, modern, and feed based interface.

Please note that Dispatch does not stream, download, or acquire any movies or TV shows on its own. It merely acts as a portal to your existing media library.

This app can optionally use Accessibility services if you choose to do so:
Accessibility is used to:
• Detect hardware remote control button presses, in order to customize button actions
• Detect foreground app name, in order to help redirect the user to the selected home experience

Accessibility access is not used to view what you type. No personal data is collected or shared through this service, which is only used locally to serve the above purposes. Accessibility access is completely optional, and users can continue using the app without enabling it.

Comments on Dispatch for Android

★★★★☆ Davo · May 13, 2025

It is a much better visual experience, and the layout is very intuitive. However, I have been stuck in Disney+ with the screen going blank and nothing loading, and the remote commands are unresponsive. The only recovery was to power off the Nvidia Shield Pro and power on again. I want to purchase it, but it needs some fixes. It's the best launcher, and I world would like to see it built for Amazon hardware as Nvidia still has Plex issues. Otherwise, I would give it 5 stars.

★★★★☆ Shinnosuke Tokuda · Dec 3, 2024

I really like it. However, I have my libraries all set to 'use original language' for Metadata and this launcher uses the localized versions for the thumbnails (if you select it the original title appears in the tool tip thing that appears). Sure wish it showed only original

Good but if you remove the paywall then I'll switch from ATV home to this. Please make it free bc all ATV launchers are free, and it will get you more users

★★★★☆ Jürgen Stein · Feb 22, 2025

So much better than the stock launcher. Can customize everything I want. There are two problems for me. On one Hi sense TV the app autostart will not work after the next power on. Something isn't right with the Plex integration, everything is listed twice to resume, resume doesn't work the first try, often it resumes from the wrong time. YouTube tv integration could be better.

★★★★☆ André Gomes · Aug 22, 2024

It's a bit heavy but it works fine. The only thing I have against so far is not being able to hold the volume buttons to adjust it, the launcher forces me to click click to adjust. I've tried it on my Sony Bra via and on my 4k Chromecast, runs well on both

★☆☆☆☆ Radio Silence · Feb 9, 2026

Wanted me to sign in just to see what it was like, to keep track of 14 day trial, hard pass. Im not paying for a launcher I can't test 1st without having to sign in. I avoid lots of websites that want me to sign in just to look around, even after 5 scrolls, etc. same with streaming and social media sites, I leave the moment I see a login page.

★★☆☆☆ somechazzy · Sep 11, 2025

Great concept and almost good execution. Unfortunately it gets extremely slow as you navigate back and forth. App switching if you choose the advanced mode (disabling Google TV) is super buggy, where it just randomly switches to a previous app if you close the current one, rather than simply going back to the launcher. I have a Google Streamer, so its hardware isn't bad, so there's no excuse either why I'm getting all these freezes.

★☆☆☆☆ Keith · Nov 11, 2024

Great app! I want to buy a lifetime license for GTV streamer, but it asks me to add a payment source. My payment source works fine. It just keeps asking for it. Can't use my phone to make a purchase for the tv. Please help and I'll give it 5 stars. Couldn't find support info

★★☆☆☆ Nithish Saji · Nov 26, 2024

Love the idea. Need profiles to actually see if it works

★☆☆☆☆ Ikaika · Jan 30, 2025

UI looks good, but had to uninstall because it kept crashing, and I couldn't even navigate after setup. I wish it worked since it's supposed to work with plex. Device I used was the onn 4k streaming box.
