The issue is, Pietro, who doesn’t personal a TV and watches reveals on his cellphone (like I mentioned, to every his personal) doesn’t subscribe to Apple TV+ as a result of there’s no Android app for that. This implies whenever you excitedly name Pietro after watching the most recent episode of Severance that dropped on Friday, you’ll be able to’t discuss it. As a substitute, it’s important to ask him how’s he doing, how the children are, what he had for dinner, no matter. Ho hum.
However as we speak is your (or Pietro’s) fortunate day. Apple has launched the Apple TV app on Android and it’s now obtainable on the Google Play retailer. It gives entry to all Apple TV+ content material, in addition to MLS Season Cross. A subscription is required for Apple TV+, which prices $9.99/£9.99 per 30 days; MLS Season Cross is a further subscription payment, however doesn’t require an Apple TV+ subscription (study extra about MLS Season Cross). Apple TV+ additionally affords TV reveals and films obtainable to hire or purchase however you can not entry the shop from inside the Android app.
