** IMPORTANT **
This app uses Accessibility services. Our app offers the use of BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE which can monitor your key presses (KeyEvent) and can open the recent app menu (performGlobalAction) if you enable the service.

Enabling the accessibility service gives us the ability to detect button presses so that you can configure an easier/quicker way to open SLC3. Choosing your own button means that you can pick a more suitable/accessible button to launch SLC3 which may help accommodate you or another persons needs. SLC3 does not collect, store or share any of your personal information and this option has only been implemented to assist users. In certain cases we may also use the performGlobalAction Accessibility Service to open the recent app menu.

SLC3 does not watch or collect any user actions or personal information.



If you love our TV launcher please consider leaving us a 5 star review.

Get this App! This is a fantastic launcher. No more ads on my 2017 Shield. Completely customizable. Don't like an icon - change it, or set it to transparent. Delete a row, add a row. Change the clock widget, and add another. What ever you want to do, you can probably do it. EASY. Dev was helpful and offered a few suggestions when I did run into a problem. Ended up being COMPLETELY USER ERROR!!! Not the app at all! Very much 5-Star.

This is my favorite launcher app. I use it on both my Shield Pro and Chromecast w/ Google (Android) TV to eliminate their clunky and ad ridden stock launcher. There is a small learning curve to get things the way you like them. Overall the only feature I would ask for in a future update would be the option to shuffle the wallpapers I select. I have hundreds of wallpapers and it would be nice if they didn't all just play in the same order. Keep up the good work!

I've only had SLC3 for a few hours and "I LOVE IT" It's REALLY flexible, you can change almost EVERTHING!! But most important, you can stop the endless trailers for movies/programmes you would never watch. It's great value for money, just a few quid gives you unlimited use with NO ADDS. Many thanks to the developers for thinking of everything.
