Google TV puts every streaming service you use into one free app - search for a movie once and instantly see whether it's on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube or any of 30+ supported services.
Google TV Version 4.39.4634 is the current release for Android 7.0 and newer, and if the Play Store isn't an option on your device, you can get the Google TV APK here and install it in under a minute.
One App for All Your Streaming Services
Instead of hopping between apps wondering where a show lives, Google TV answers that question up front.
Its recommendations learn what you actually watch, and your watchlist syncs across every phone, tablet and TV signed into your Google account - add a film from your phone on the bus, and it's waiting in a dedicated row on your TV at home.
Your Phone Doubles as a TV Remote
The app's most underrated feature: a full remote control for Google TV and Android TV devices, built right in. Navigation, volume, voice search - and, best of all, your phone's keyboard.
Typing a streaming password letter by letter with a D-pad is a special kind of punishment, and this feature ends it.
Your Movie Library Lives Here Too
Google TV is the successor to Google Play Movies & TV, so any films or shows you've bought or rented over the years are all still here, ready to stream on any signed-in device.
What Google TV Doesn't Do
It's a discovery hub, not a media player - it won't open that MKV file sitting in your downloads folder. For local playback, VLC for Android handles virtually every format out of the box, while MX Player adds gesture controls and, with the MX Player Custom Codec, support for DTS and AC3 audio.
If you want a full media center with cover art and metadata, Kodi for Android does for your personal library what Google TV does for streaming - and the desktop version of Kodi keeps the same setup on your PC. Our guide to the best video player for Android TV compares the top options if you're picking one for the big screen.
Free Streaming Alternatives Worth a Look
If Google TV's ad-heavy home screen isn't your thing, there are solid alternatives. Stremio aggregates streaming sources with cross-platform syncing and an add-on system.
ProgTV for Android is built for live TV fans, with IPTV channels, EPG support and DVR - and ProgDVB brings the same experience to Windows.
Running your own media server? Emby streams your personal collection to any device. And if free live channels are what you're after, our guide to free popular IPTV playlists shows where to find fresh, legal M3U links.
Codec Notes for 4K Streaming
Google TV relies on your device's codec support for smooth playback. Modern phones handle HEVC/H.265 and VP9 fine, but YouTube and Netflix increasingly serve AV1 for better quality at lower bitrates.
If newer content stutters or won't play, our guide on how to get the AV1 codec on Android walks through the fix.
