Generally, some older Hisense TVs have pre-installed apps and lacks an App Store. Another reason is that you might be looking for the app store in the wrong section of the Hisense Smart TV. If you find no app store on your Hisense Smart TV, there are some factors you need to look into. Let’s see the reasons why your Hisense TV doesn’t have an App Store.
Possible Reasons for App Store Not Available on Hisense Smart TV
- Generally, you can’t find the app store on your Hisense TV if it isn’t a Smart TV. If you are using an old Hisense TV with a Cathode Ray tube, you cannot find the App Store.
- The next possible reason is that the apps are pre-installed on your TV. For example, Hisense XClass TV and some older Hisense models have a set of pre-installed apps that you can open and start streaming.
- If you’re a new user who purchased a Hisense TV, you should know that some models give their app stores different names. So, check your Hisense TV again to see whether it has the app store. Sometimes, you might have searched for the App Store in the wrong menu section. Check properly and launch the app store to install apps.
- Sometimes, your Hisense TV OS might not be compatible with running an app store. But there is a possibility that you can acquire it by updating your Hisense Smart TV to the latest firmware. So try updating your TV and check whether your Hisense TV has acquired an app store.
- If you have not purchased your Hisense Smart TV from the proper retail store or from the showroom, then there is a high possibility that your TV is a clone model. Scammers on the local market sell carbon-copied Hisense TV models that are fake and have a duplicate OS. So, if this happened to you, then this is one of the factors for your Hisense not having an app store.

My Hisense 49R4 has no VEWD app, it has an App Store tile but the list of apps in that is not very extensive and doesn’t have what we want, there is no obvious way to search for more apps, no magnifying glass or anything other than tiles of the limited list of apps to scroll through, is there any way to update or change this App Store to be searchable and/or include more apps?
Hisense 49R4 model does not come with the VEWD app or a comprehensive app store. Without an option to search for additional apps or update the store, your choices may be limited to the pre-installed selection. It is better to consider alternative streaming devices or connecting an external streaming device to access a wider range of apps.
