Changelog 2026

Colour your guide

Version 4.99 on iOS and 2.99 on Android brings Category Colours: a simple way to colour your guide by category, so the shows you like stand out.

Category Colours

Open Category Colours from Profile or the guide Options. Each category shows as a row that looks like your guide. Tap a row to turn its colour on or off. With AusTV Plus, tap the circle on the right to choose your own colour. Choosing a colour also turns that category on.

Older categories that you set up before now sit under Also saved. They can disappear from the list after you turn them off and close the screen.

A fresh palette

We've refreshed the default palette, with a clear colour for each family of categories. Your saved colour settings are kept as they are.

Which colour wins

When a show has more than one category, Favourites comes first, then Movie, then the show's categories from A to Z. When none of a show's own categories is on, a related category can use its family's colour, for example a sitcom when Comedy is on. An enabled category colour takes priority over its family fallback. This can change the colour of some shows.

Categories on every show

Show details now list each category. Tap a category to see more shows like it. Lists show a colour edge on each row instead of the small badges, and the MOVIE badge stays.

Also new

• All Categories in Explore is now grouped into categories, genres and sport, and you can sort it A to Z.
• A High contrast text option makes text on coloured rows easier to read.

Fixed

• Restore Purchases no longer stays stuck on a spinner after the app closes mid-restore.

Coming later

In the next release, colouring a category other than Movie or Favourites needs AusTV Plus. Categories you have on stay on. Movie and Favourites stay free. If you turn another main category off and close the screen, turning it back on needs Plus.
