Apple TV app finally makes it to Android phones and tablets
Starting today, the Apple TV app for Android will no longer be limited to running on TVs with Android TV or Google TV. It will also be available for Android phones and tablets. Seriously, it wasn't before - this is Apple we're talking about, we're still surprised there was an Apple TV for Android TV / Google TV.
Anyway, you can now enjoy the app, alongside the Apple TV+ streaming service, and the MLS Season Pass, on your Android phone or tablet running Android 10 or later. It's unclear if this is a phased rollout or if the app is only available for phones and tablets in the US for now (we only see it for TVs still in Europe).
For Apple TV+, you'll be able to use an existing account, or create one right inside the app. The streaming service costs $9.99 per month, and the MLS Season Pass is an optional add-on priced at $12.99 per month or $79 per season.
Friday Night Baseball's live broadcast will also be available on Android phones and tablets. However, Android users won't have access to the in-app store where you can rent and buy movies and shows.
The app for Android phones and tablets arrives five years after the debut of Apple TV+, and thus it's an understatement to say it was high time for this to happen already.
