How to get to the App Store on an Apple TV

On Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD, the App store should appear in its standard position on the top bar of the home screen. It is a blue rectangle with three white lines in the shape of an "A."

The App store can be moved by holding the Selection button on your remote while hovering over the App Store icon. The app will begin to vibrate, allowing you to move it to wherever you wish on your Home screen.

When the App store icon is vibrating, hitting the play/pause button on your remote will also allow you to move it to the Utilities folder.

You can move the App Store into a folder.

If your App store is not in the top toolbar, it may have been inadvertently moved. You can find it by searching through the apps on your Home screen.

Use the magnifying glass icon to search for the App Store, or select it from your home screen (as depicted).
