Thanks Apple!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>I honestly haven\u2019t been thrilled with Apple TV+. The content is sometimes interesting. Navigating Apple TV+ has always been, uhhh annoying. The most recent updates have made it so annoying that I\u2019m tempted to not even bother trying to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most egregious example is the dross they\u2019ve pushed upon those of us with actual Apple TVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Apple TV app on apple devices sucks too, but not quite enough to make me super pissed off. For at least the last year the Apple TV app randomly pulled up the spanish titles and covers of movies that I\u2019d purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you ask, yes my system settings are all ENGLISH\u2026  Oh and the movies in question were produced in America. I could see it if the movie was a foreign film and the title and cover art were indicative of the country of origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AppleTV+ app on the Apple TV is beyond frustrating. I\u2019m finding that just trying to navigate the app to MY Library, I\u2019m inadvertently starting some movie that Apple\u2019s produced in which I have ZERO interest. This perhaps is attributable to my not having the latest and greatest Apple TV. They\u2019ve changed the remote control since I purchased my model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All I know is that I had no trouble using the previous iteration of the User Interface and since the change. Not only am I unable to easily navigate, I\u2019m frustrated by trying, to the point that I\u2019m yelling at the fucking device. Shortly after that I\u2019ll power it down via the menu if I can get there OR by pulling the power which ever is easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Major FAIL APPLE! If I could roll the software back to something that worked on my Apple TV, I would!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s frustrated me enough that I wonder about cancelling Apple TV+ and Dumping the Apple TV devices entirely. My PlayStation can access my movies and shows and play them in surround sound just as easily as the Apple TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong. I\u2019ve been trying to adapt to the POS software Apple shoved out. It\u2019s not getting better, and I\u2019m not figuring out the U.I. So I\u2019m not turning on my Apple TV as frequently.  Situations like these always lead me to wonder if I actually <strong><em>need<\/em><\/strong> a device that I\u2019m not using or that is not a pleasure to use. I mean why keep something that pisses me of in trying to use it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PlayStation 5 works WAYYYY better anyway.  Since I\u2019m not now and never have been interested in Apple Arcade losing the Apple TV device wouldn\u2019t cause a hiccup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know it sounds like I\u2019m over reacting. I\u2019m pretty patient with software but in this particular instance it really seems as if the Apple Software folks are trying to over complicate what should be a simple thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I honestly haven\u2019t been thrilled with Apple TV+.
