This beloved way to watch live TV on Android Auto is back with a fully new version.

Android Auto users have a new yet familiar way to watch live TV

Fermata Xtream, a popular app for watching live TV on Android Auto, is set to make a comeback with a new, improved version. The developer, who previously announced the app's shutdown in June, has now released a new iteration of the app, boasting 100% new code designed to enhance speed and performance.

The developer's decision to discontinue the app in June was due to their inability to rewrite the existing code, despite dedicating several months to the task. However, they have since taken a different approach, opting to create a brand new version of Fermata Xtream. This decision allows them to start fresh and focus on improving the app's functionality.

Users who have Fermata Xtream installed on their Android Auto systems will benefit from auto-updates when the new version is pushed to Github. This update is contingent upon the installation of AAenabler, a tool that enables the app to function properly within the Android Auto environment.

The Fermata Xtream developer has emphasized their commitment to enhancing the user experience, acknowledging the challenges they faced in maintaining and improving the app's code. With the release of this new version, Android Auto users can look forward to a smoother and more efficient live TV watching experience.
