What Premium is
Premium is a one-time purchase with no subscription. It unlocks customisation features in JellyWatch Player, on TV, phone and tablet. Playback and browsing are always free.
Premium is a separate product from JellyWatch Admin and from Watch Pass. Buying one does not give you the others.
How to buy
- Open Premium in the TV sidebar, or Settings → Premium on a phone.
- Select Support the Dev. The button shows the price from your store.
- Confirm in the Google Play or Amazon Appstore purchase flow.
On Fire TV the purchase goes through Amazon in-app purchasing.
There is no trial, coupon or promo code in the app. The price is set by the store.
Restoring a purchase
There is no restore button. The app checks your purchase with the store and the JellyWatch service every time it starts. Sign in to the same Google (or Amazon) account and open the app. Premium comes back on its own. If the check cannot reach the network, the app keeps the status it had.
