It’s no secret that apple makes really good products! It’s fast and easy to use, and really simple to set up.

Cutting the cord was quick and painless thanks to Apple TV. I had it up and running in 5 minutes flat. Now I've got more TV and movie choices than ever. And games too! The interface is swift and simple. Apple TV changes the game on home entertainment. Buying it at Best Buy was bliss - I was in and out of the store in 20 minutes with this epic gadget AND an activated Apple 12!

This is a great product. It is easy to setup and easy to use. It only took minutes for the setup and the new remote makes finding the show I want easy! I would definitely recommend this product for everyone.

Love to pair my phone with it and it’s fairly easy to use. I wish I didn’t have to order a HDMI separately and I wish it was as easy to navigate the remote like the old version but it works fine over all.

I've had an older Apple TV for a number of years. The big issue was that it didn't allow you to add more apps. As a result, all of my different streaming services were spread over different devices. This latest Apple TV HD 32GB allows me to download the apps I need. Now everything is on the one device. It's so convenient and a much smarter, more streamlined Apple TV than I used before. Love it!

An AppleTV allows you to access various streaming services (netflix, hulu, etc.) on your TV (with an HDMI input) without having to have a computer. All you need is an ethernet/wifi connection to the internet (and logins to the streaming services). Additionally, if you have a computer on your network running iTunes you can stream your local content (movies, music, photos, etc.) from that computer to your TVs. You can also use the AppleTV to stream content from a smart phone to your computer. The remote control is touch sensitive and can use Siri for voice control. I find the touch controls a bit too sensitive for my taste but it gets easier with practice. I don't use the Siri voice functionality so can't comment on that. The user interface is relatively intuitive to use however, as I have a lot of local content I stream, I actually prefer the user interface on the older (3rd generation) AppleTV's over the interface on the newer devices. If you don't have a lot of local content then you will probably prefer the interface on the newer devices over the older devices. You do not need a computer to use an AppleTV but AppleTV's do interface easily and seamlessly with Mac computers and iPhones. I do not know how well they interface with other computer/phone systems but they should work fine as long as they run iTunes or 'Mac' apps.

We love Apple TV in our house. But we ended up returning this one for a Roku unit as we did not need all the bells and whistles these provide. Quality and ease of use are top notch. The only complaint is the remotes are small if you have big hands. And the touch pad is sensitive. We purchased a silicone holder off Amazon to make it easier to hold and use. Otherwise it's a great product!

I love everything about apple tv. The picture quality is fantastic. And once you get used to how the remote works, it is easy to use. The only complaint I have is that it does not come with an HDMI cord.

A great solution for easy streaming. As many users have noted, the remote is notoriously sub-par in usability for Apple products. Like most people, I still prefer physical, tactile buttons for remote functions rather than a trackpad. That said, the remote was able to easily learn all my devices including a fairly obscure, discontinued Soundcraft CS3 speaker. Overall setup is easy and allows for detailed settings if you prefer to delve in deeper. This is my third Apple TV (I started with the original) so I'm familiar with most functions. I'm not a gamer, but Apple Arcade is available on this device.

This is my third apple tv I have purchased. One for my self and two for my family. I love being able to stream the pictures from my phone to our TV. The unit is easy to install.

Easy to use and an overall great accessory for every age group in the home. My kids like the arcade and streaming options. I like it for the screen mirroring alone, all else is a plus! My main use is for homeschooling and using the tv to make documents, visuals, and lessons bigger for both of my kids to see things with more ease and explanation. In

So after cancelling my cable TV, I initially was going to get an adapter for my new mac book air to connect to the HDMI but the salesperson (young and knowledgeable female) gave me a better idea... apple TV. Since my family has iphones, ipads, macbooks it just made perfect sense. So easy to connect, screen mirror, watch apple TV (free for one year) and everything else.

Great product, extends the Apple paradigm to your TV. Also use as streaming media player. Would suggest that you have Apple devices to take full advantage of the solution.

After having one of the older Apple Tvs for several years, we decided to get a cheap FireTV for a second tv.. fast forward a year later and it just doesn't work as great. So we decided to purchase a new Apple Tv! Glad we did. Love the improvements with being able to purchase apps, and the looks. Works a lot better than the old one & better than FireTV. I'll stick with Apple.

I "cut the cable" and bought the Apple TV on the advice of friends and after discussing with the Best Buy salesman. It was easy to setup and has met all my expectations.

I love this one better than the second one. They both have their perks.

Bought it because I have an xbox one and wasn't really using it. One of the best things that I could have bought its awesome and works great. It's worth the money!!

I have four Apple TV’s, one on each TV. The set-up is intuitive, interface Is just like any iPhone or iPad. I have mine set-up to turn my TV and Soundbar on at the same time. When you have to type anything in, it automatically syncs to your iPhone enabling you to type in from your iPhone, or you can use Siri voice commands. Highly recommend.

I like the capability to download additional apps from the Apple Store. But, I do not like the “swipe” remote. Hard to control your swipe at times. Liked the older non-swipe remote with actual cursor & Ok/Enter buttons. Also the remote is too small & thin; could be larger. That is why only 4 stars instead of 5.
