Thanks to those who helped me sort out the listing for my TV News app on Android TV.
I am trying experiment with how easy it is for people to discover my app.
What happens when you search Google Play Store on your Android TV for: tv news
Our voice search for "world news apps"
For both I am seeing my simply named "TV News - World News" app as #4 result for both searches ... which is very good. I have the blue TV icon with a white screen and the words "TV NEWS" on the screen.
What position is the app is it for you???
Bonus: For "news" via Google Play Store: 44
I think one challenge I will have is that lots of general voice searches from a top Android TV conveniently pull you straight into YouTube content. I'm not complaining however, because the YouTube API helps power my app! I just curated a more global and diverse playlist of more serious news channels.
Unfortunately, I think the app itself is kind of trash. It's just one more aggregator for free videos that are readily available in tons of other places/other apps and lousy Kodi add-ons. The logos are squished. I saw Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel channels, among other things that had nothing to do with news. It's bad. Clearly just an excuse to throw ads at the user. I wouldn't recommend it, sorry.
