The Apple TV app is now available for Google’s Chromecast in 2020. It was announced in December that Apple’s streaming app, which provides access to its Apple TV Plus originals, will come after the awkward name Chromecast with Google TV. As of today, owners of the excellent $ 50 device can download Apple TV and start using it.
Apple TV original like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, en For all mankind will appear in Google TV’s recommendations and search results. Note that you can also add Apple’s original programs and movies to the universal watch list of Google TV. Some major streaming services like Netflix have decided in the months since the release of Chromecast not to participate in the Watchlist because they apparently prefer to keep the kind of features within the app itself. As 9to5Google reported in November, the Google TV mobile app no longer even includes Netflix recommendations.
Apple TV also gets Google Assistant integration on Chromecast; you can start watching any of Apple’s original articles with a voice command.
In addition to the original app from Apple, the Apple TV app offers you movies and TV shows easily for rent and purchase from Apple. And just like on other platforms, any Apple TV Channel add-on subscriptions you may have – CBS All Access, Showtime, etc. – Available on Chromecast with Google TV in the app.
Jonathan Zepp, Google’s media and entertainment director, says that “apart from Chromecast with Google TV, the Apple TV app will also be available on Sony TVs from Sony and TCL.”
