What Is Premium?
Premium for JellyWatch on Android TV is a one-time lifetime purchase that unlocks advanced features for the person using the app on their TV.
This is a separate purchase from the mobile JellyWatch Admin Features. Purchasing Premium on Android TV does not grant mobile Premium, and vice versa. The two apps are independent products with independent Premium tiers.

How to Purchase
- Navigate to Premium in the sidebar (or Settings → Premium).
- The Premium screen shows the feature list and the current price.
- Focus the Purchase button and press Select / OK.
- The Google Play (or Amazon Appstore) purchase flow opens.
- Confirm the purchase with your account credentials.
Premium status is verified on every app launch against the store receipt and the JellyWatch backend.
Fire TV (Amazon Appstore)
On Fire TV devices, the purchase is handled through the Amazon In-App Purchasing SDK. The flow is the same - select the Purchase button and confirm with your Amazon account.
Promotional Pricing
When a promotion is active, a promo card with an animated border appears on the Premium screen showing the discounted price. The reduced price is applied automatically at purchase.
Restoring a Purchase
If you reinstall the app or switch to a new device, your purchase is restored automatically when you sign in with the same Google (or Amazon) account.
Not the Same as Mobile Premium
JellyWatch has two separate apps with two separate Premium tiers:
| App | Premium product | What it unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| JellyWatch for Android TV | JellyWatch TV Premium (this page) | TV customisation, Kids Profile, Multi-Server, Home Assistant, etc. |
| JellyWatch Admin (mobile) | JellyWatch Admin Premium | Server management tools, widgets, notifications, multi-server on mobile |
Each purchase is app-specific and does not carry over to the other app.
