Apple has officially launched the Apple TV+ app for Android smartphones and tablets, giving users a more convenient way to access its streaming platform. The app is now available for download on the Google Play Store, allowing Android users to watch original series and movies, as well as subscribe to MLS Season Pass and MLB’s Friday Night Baseball.

Apple TV+ App Comes to Android

Until now, Android users had to rely on tv.apple.com to access Apple TV+ content. With the new Apple TV+ app, they can now stream directly from their devices, offering a seamless experience similar to iOS users.

The app supports:

Apple TV+ original series and movies
MLS Season Pass, which includes all regular-season and playoff games
MLB Friday Night Baseball, with exclusive live matches

Users can log in using their Apple ID or subscribe directly via Google Play’s billing system.

Pricing and Subscription Options

Apple offers two pricing plans for Apple TV+:

$9.99/month
$99/year

For sports fans, the MLS Season Pass costs:

$14.99/month
$99/season

Additionally, Apple TV+ is included in all Apple One subscription bundles, making it more accessible for users who want multiple Apple services.

Limitations of the Android Version

While the Apple TV+ app for Android offers a full streaming experience, it does come with some limitations compared to the iOS version:

No access to the iTunes Store for renting or purchasing TV shows and movies à-la-carte.
No access to a user’s existing iTunes library of previously purchased content.

Apple had already launched the Apple TV app for Android TV and Google TV, but this marks the first time that the service is available for Android smartphones and tablets.

Apple TV+ Expands Across Platforms

With the addition of Android, the Apple TV+ app is now available on a wide range of devices, including:

iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro
PlayStation and Xbox consoles
Roku and Amazon Fire TV streaming sticks
Select Smart TVs
Android TV and Google TV devices

Apple is clearly expanding Apple TV+ availability, competing directly with Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video.

Conclusion

The launch of Apple TV+ on Android is a major step forward, bringing Apple’s premium streaming content to even more users. While there are some limitations, the ability to subscribe via Google Play and watch live sports events makes the app a solid option for Android users.

This move signals Apple’s commitment to growing its streaming platform, giving non-Apple users access to hit series like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Foundation, and more.
