  1. A must. Way better than on board OS and apps. Those are slow and clunky.
    But TVOS needs to do a better job with the watch list. Make a separate page for it, separate by movies and TV. It’s hard to keep track of if a lot of stuff is added.

  2. I'm on the Apple ecosystem, owning an iphone SE 3, an Apple ipad, and an Apple TV 4K 1st generation that was released 9-12-2017. I just updated to the latest generation Apple TV 4K which was released 11-4-2022, because my first generation 2017 model was getting bogged down when loading my ever expanding itunes movie library. So, I upgraded my Apple TV 4K to the latest generation out of necessity, not because I wanted to. I am glad I did the upgrade because it was worth it. I have to admit that I got a good solid 8 years of usage from the first generation Apple TV 4K. Apple has been promising a newer Apple TV 4K that includes Apple Intelligence for about 2 years now. I took that into consideration before upgrading to the latest model, deciding that waiting for the promised new Apple TV 4K with Apple Intelligence was not worth the wait. Apple Intelligence is 'not ready for prime time', that has delayed the release of a new Apple TV 4K, and it appears that will not be resolved any time soon, despite Apple's promises. One of the nicest things about the latest version of the Apple TV 4K is the Snoopy screensaver. No other streaming devices from the other manufacturers have this, and the prior versions of the Apple TV 4K do not have it. If you have kids, they will love it. If you remember Snoopy from the Peanuts comic strip or the Charlie Brown TV Specials, you will love it. The Snoopy screensaver is kind of an overlooked feature of the current Apple TV 4K. The Apple TV 4K is more expensive than the Fire TV streamers, the Roku Streamers, The Google Streamers, and the ONN streamers, but remember, you get what you pay for. The Apple TV 4K delivers a much better experience. Oh, and the remote is made of aluminum, not cheap plastic, like the other streamers use in their remotes.

  3. My main complaint with Apple TV is the remote. Not sure if others feel the same way, but I prefer a bulkier remote that fits well in hand along with actual buttons rather than that touch scroll.
