MacworldLets say your best buddywell call him Pietrouses an Android phone. To each his own, you say. The problem is, Pietro, who doesnt own a TV and watches shows on his phone (like I said, to each his own) doesnt subscribe to Apple TV+ because theres no Android app for that. This means when you excitedly call Pietro after watching the latest episode of Severance that dropped on Friday, you cant talk about it. Instead, you have to ask him hows he doing, how the kids are, what he had for dinner, whatever. Ho hum.But today is your (or Pietros) lucky day. Apple has released the Apple TV app on Android and its now available on the Google Play store. It provides access to all Apple TV+ content, as well as MLS Season Pass. A subscription is required for Apple TV+, which costs $9.99/9.99 per month; MLS Season Pass is an additional subscription fee, but does not require an Apple TV+ subscription (learn more about MLS Season Pass). Apple TV+ also offers TV shows and movies available to rent or buy but The Verge reports that you cannot access the store from within the Android app. Users on Reddit say that previously purchased shows cant be accessed, either.The Verge also points out that the Apple TV app for Android is optimized for foldable phones, which Pietro loves to brag about (Crease? Thats not a crease, he likes to say). Googles Dan Seifert posted that the app also has a themeable app icon, picture-in-picture support, as well as offline downloads. So your Android-using buddy really has no excuse for missing out on one of the best shows of the year and a bunch of other great Apple TV+ content. Unless the lack of casting support in the app is a dealbreaker. Then youre just going to have to go back to chatting about the weather.thrilled to see Apple TV land on Android devices today!it's an excellent Android citizen too:themeable app icon: PIP support: offline downloads: foldable posture support: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.atve.androidtv.appletv dan seifert (@dcseifert.bsky.social) 2025-02-12T21:40:07.642227Z
