New Apple TV app: these functions await you
The Apple TV app has been available in the United States since 2016. At the end of 2017, the TV app made it to Germany. However, the offer is still quite manageable.
- While there are already over 60 streaming services on board in the USA, the TV app only starts with 5 providers in this country. These include ZDF, TV Now Plus (RTL, VOX, nTV and Co.) Amazon, Sky and Mubi. Other providers such as Pro7, Sat.1, Maxdome and Netflix are currently still missing.
- The TV app bundles the offers of the various providers in one app. You can either stream the available content directly in the TV app on your iPhone and iPad, or stream it to the Apple TV via AirPlay.
- Any content is suggested in the "Watch Now" category. In the "Media library" you will find all films and series that you have already bought via iTunes. The contents of the other providers can also be found in the "Store".
- Since the app should work seamlessly on all devices, you can start a series on your Apple TV and continue watching on the iPad via the app. Further providers are to follow in the future, live TV is also conceivable.
- Tip: The TV app is already preinstalled on iOS 11.2. If you are using an older version, download the latest iOS update. If you have deleted the app, you can simply download the application again from the App Store.
