It has been almost a year since the last non-beta Android/FireTV release. Many improvements have been made, including the new experimental guide. Although the new guide has some bugs that may only occur for me, I think it is better than the current release. Though I don't use the guide much, so I may not be the best judge. We don't have any of the new Apple TV features, but there have been many significant fixes. I am fine just running the beta version, but I have a couple of devices that can only run the released version.
4.9.6 was released to the Play Store on June 28th, 2026 with some pretty significant updates.
This version has not landed on the Amazon AppStore because they have placed the latest release in app store limbo and won't respond to us.

Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, it hasn't made it to my Google Play Store. I have checked five different devices and they are on 4.9.4 which is the latest in my Play Store. The Amazon AppStore has been a problem in the past. Hopefully it won't be too long before they get it squared away.
As well, I only have version 4.9.4 on my phone, and it's the only version in the Google Play Store that I can see. So neither Google OR Amazon have published any 4.9.6 version that I can see...
It looks like only Channels for HDHomeRun 4.9.6 got published on the Play Store.
We're looking into it.
