Download apps on switch

The Hulu app for Nintendo Switch is only available in the US—which makes sense, since Hulu doesn't serve any other territories. YouTube is the only streaming app available on the Nintendo Switch that is completely free. If you've ever used YouTube on another console or smart TV, you'll be familiar with the app.

You can search for videos, browse your library, and interact with the community just like you can when browsing YouTube on a desktop. Unfortunately, one of the main things that you can't do is upload video, either through the YouTube app or Nintendo's video sharing functionality.

Currently, Funimation is the only anime streaming service available for the Nintendo Switch. Handily, you can sign up on your Nintendo Switch, so there's no need to use another device. There's a day free trial available if you want to test Funimation Premium before paying. With the InkyPen app, you can turn your Nintendo Switch into a digital comic book reader.

InkyPen supports common digital comic reader features such as panel-by-panel viewing, and even lets you blow up your comics on your big-screen TV when your Switch is docked. KORG Gadget is a music production app that also doubles as a musical party game. We've put together a list of 11 Nintendo Switch apps, some of which are available for free. We'll continue to add to this list as more entertainment-focused are added to the eShop if that happens. The only major streaming service available on Nintendo Switch is Hulu.

That said, Hulu is one of the best streaming services thanks to its wide variety of network TV, original shows, and movies. YouTube doesn't need an introduction, but if you want to watch your favorite creators on your Nintendo Switch, the app is available on the eShop. If you want a live TV option on Switch, you'll have to opt for Hulu. The YouTube app works well on Switch, though chances are your phone has a better but probably smaller display.

As mentioned already, the Pokemon TV app recently arrived on Nintendo Switch, and it's an excellent source of free Pokemon content.

In addition to a revolving stable of full episodes of the anime, the Pokemon TV app also has Pokemon Trading Card Game and video game competition content.

For youngsters, the app contains Pokemon-themed nursery rhymes and sing-along tracks. Unsurprisingly, Piano is a digital piano app aimed at kids. Piano is playable with a controller, but it's more natural with the touchscreen. KORG Gadget is an all-in-one music production kit that features drum machines, synthesizers, keyboards, and a bunch of other instruments.
