Apple TV app comes to the Roku platform

Roku has announced that the Apple TV app is available on the Roku platform starting today. 

Roku users can now add the Apple TV app via the Roku Channel Store to discover and watch movies, TV shows and more, including accessing their iTunes video library and subscribing to Apple TV channels directly on Roku devices. 

Scott Rosenberg, senior vice president/general manager of Platform Business Service, Roku, says that, through the Apple TV app on their Roku devices, customers can: enjoy personalized recommendations of shows and movies; subscribe directly to Apple TV channels and more using their Apple ID and password; browse, buy or rent more than 100,000 movies and TV shows; and watch all the shows and movies they have previously purchased from iTunes.

The Apple TV+ streaming service is due to launch Nov. 1 at a price of $4.99 per month. However, you can get a free year’s subscription with the purchase of a new iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV.
