As announced in December, Apple TV is now available worldwide on the Chromecast with Google TV. With the new app, you can watch original Apple TV + content, and access existing purchases of iTunes movies and TV shows.
The UI is fairly simple, with a bar at the top that allows users to navigate between Watch Now, original content, movies, TV shows, kids, library, search and settings. The app uses large cover images and map carousels.
Apple TV will integrate with Google TV so that US users can see Apple Originals in recommendations and search results.
And with Google Assistant, you can also use your voice to ask Google to open the Apple TV app or play an Apple Original title. If you’re not ready to go right now, you can add Apple Originals to your watchlist later. These features will be launched worldwide in the coming months.
The app also shows streaming subscriptions from third parties via Apple TV channels. These memberships, along with TV +, can be shared by up to six family members, with personalized and compiled recommendations available.
Apple’s service was originally limited to Sony sets with Android TV, but today’s launch marks the beginning of broader support on Google platforms. It’s also coming to new Google TVs from Sony and TCL, while it will be available on ‘more Android TV devices in the coming months.’ On phones and tablets, it can be seen on the internet, but hopefully an Android mobile app will come down.
To download on the device, navigate to the “Apps” tab and search, or the programming in the “For You” tab. Alternatively, visit Apple TV’s Play Store list on the Internet and select Chromecast after clicking the “Install” button.
