Customer Ratings & Reviews

Full disclosure, I’m an Apple junkie, so consider that when reading this review. If you are not part of the Apple ecosystem (have an icloud account, have an iPhone), you might want to consider something cheaper, like a Roku, as an alternative. The device is just about what you would expect from any streaming device. You connect to an App Store (the Apple one in this case) and you download the apps for the services you subscribe to (Netflix, Hulu, etc). The Apple TV does have the, at first, slightly confusing Apple TV app. This app basically tries to create a single point of access that looks at all the things you are watching in various apps, so that you can just access what you’ve been watching from the single place instead of going straight to the app that has what you’re watching. Even as an Apple fanboy, I struggle to really find the usefulness of this function. Also the Apple TV app should not be confused with Apple Tv+, the excellent streaming service, which lives as a sub component of the Apple TV app. Note that you can now get AppleTv+ on most other streaming devices at this point. You can also view your icloud pictures and videos on the device if you sign in with your iCloud account. The remote is the big weakness of this device. In the last two iterations of this device, the remote has gone from atrocious to better, but still a little crappy. Personally I prefer a remote that lets me have a solid grasp on it, and lets me toss it to someone else. To do this, the remote needs to be a decent size. The AppleTV remote is tiny. Yo make matters worse, the remote has a touchpad on it. So the user is always accidentally doing unintentional things on the screen because of the almost unavoidable and highly sensitive touchpad. And forget about tossing it to someone else; you end up in a different app because of the touchpad. The internal components of the device are a higher quality than other streaming devices. So reaction time and navigating through the device is much faster than using another device, if you care about that sort of thing.

Always used it always been amazing it has it’s ups and downs but overall great buy

Easy to set up & use! We have to have something simple so we can assist my mother in law out of state. This is simple enough to walk her through on the phone!

I’ve had this for a year now and so far it’s been amazing. I can easily pair my iPhone and cast videos from it as well. I love all apple products and this one is no exception

allways apple products are great and fit the requeriments...

I was having issues airplaying from my iPhone to my LG OLED Evo. This device streamlined that process for me. I have also owned several streaming stick devices and this one, by far, looks and handles the best. My only complaint is the search keyboard is ridiculous.

Former BBY employee. I’ve had Apple computers for thirty years and phones since iPhone 3G and this is the most disappointing product thus far. This was highly recommended by fb groups, but the remote is terrible. First, I had to turn off the touchpad because it truly has a mind of its own and I could not use it, My biggest problem it that it multi clicks with one click. Constantly push a right click and it will do one, two, three, up to five clicks with that one click. It’s a know issue, but I am hesitant to purchase a different manufactured remote, because it very well could be the system making this happen. Quite frustrating and not impressed, Apple!

I had an older Apple TV but just ditched cable. I bought 1, and went back for a 2nd. EZ setup and I love the Apple eco system. Just this afternoon I was watching my Mac's monitor on my TV set - just because I could.

Easy to install and smooth!!! I love it and worth!
