From the developer: there are no third party ads in the app, and all basic features are available for free. Users who like my app can support me and get even more features in the PRO version.

Ratings and reviews

This is the easiest way to disable and uninstall pre-installed TV apps. I have a Panasonic TV which has a lot of factory catch-up TV apps which despite disabling in the Android settings, always get re-enabled after the TV is restarted. With this app the unwanted apps are disabled and stay disabled. I also used this on a Sony TV to disable a load of hidden Sony bloatware and background processes, which now has my TV running faster and more smoothly than it ever has.

ADB TV is literally just a Shameless cash grab, stuff that's free on the PC version is required to have Pro on here like uninstalling and disabling apps, I don't understand the point of having ADB TV when literally everything that makes it useful is stuck behind a paywall, very very disappointing.

Works as expected. The only issue is sometimes, if the prompt to allow the debugging connection does not show, the user must restart their device in order for the prompt to show properly. The developer should add instructions indicating as such to the setup wizard.
