Apple TV plus, am I missing something?

[BlackAmericanoNoSugar]

I got a year's free subscription because I bought a new Apple device, and there's fuck all on there. Am I just not seeing the available content for some reason or are there really just seven films and about 15 drama series?

We use our Apple TV device to cast the iPad or iPhone screen to the TV

I got a free description this way too. I really like The Morning Show and Defending Jacob, but that's it so far!

I liked The Morning Show and Defending Jacob also watched one called Servant which had an unusual storyline. Hope they make a second series of it as the first series left a lot of unanswered questions.

It is very hard to navigate and yes Fuck All. I wouldn't have it except like yours it was free

So far : Morning Show and Servant, were first class AMAZING

Defending Jacob, Home Before Dark and Truth Be Told just average

Little Voice nothing to get excited over gave up quickly

Quite like Oprah's Book Club being there but have only watched one.

Overall, meh.

So I'm not doing it wrongly then. I had hoped that it was me and that there were a plethora of wonderful programs out there.

What's really noticeable is that if you cancel they stop the free trial immediately, that's because they KNOW that very few will renew after a year and they're hoping that most people will forget and they'll get at least a few months' payment out of them. Other services (eg Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney plus) will run the free trial to the end even if you cancel because they have confidence in their product and feel that enough people will sign up to make the free trial worthwhile.

Another vote to watch the Morning Show. We planned to just watch that and cancel but haven’t actually got round to cancelling yet, which sounds like we wouldn’t have been able to either (without losing the whole trial). Maybe they assume more content will be on there in the year? Not sure how they’ll be doing that with things as they are though...

Not just me then.
Why would anyone pay for it??!

Morning show, Central Park and ted lasso.
Brilliant though.

I did try to cancel and it warned me that I would loose the free trial, so I put a note in my phone calendar a few days before the end of the trial.

It must be costing them a lot of money, they have HUGE names in the shows like Jason Momoa, Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.

I got it as a free subscription with a new phone. Its crap!
I watched Defending Jacob and occasionally there is a film thats ok.
There is a series called Trying on it which isn't bad. Set in North London about a couple trying to adopt. Quite funny.
I will not be paying for this though when it runs out.

Ha! We've done the adopting in London thing, twice. So do not want to relive any of that, funny or not.

I'm on episode three of The Morning Show and it's good so far, if a bit 'try hard'.

Maybe they're planning to add a load of content in the next few months that will make the people on a free trial want to stay. As it is at the moment there isn't a year's content there, even if I watched the things I'm not interested in.

It is also annoying that it tells you about what is on other channels and other streaming services. I just want it to tell me what is on Apple TV+ but to do that I have to scroll down a long way to find the Channel picture and click that. Any way to default to Channel view?

Yes, I didn't figure it out at first and kept seeing things I would like to watch only to find I had to pay for them.

I've ended up paying for a film that way. once I saw it was on and got all excited then paid anyway. I think it was 'Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood'. Good film at least.

I've got the free trial too. The only thing I've watched is Trying, a sitcom with Rafe Spall. Definitely won't be paying once trial is over.

I've got this for a year with my phone and I've watched The Morning Show which is good but that is all, I keep forgetting it's on my phone but defo won't pay for it

I've cancelled it because I moved country (a decade ago) and I was running my Apple account using a credit card in the original country, but I'm going to cancel that card. So I have to change country on my account and you have to cancel all subscriptions before you do that. I might have continued watching The Morning Show, but I don't feel I'm missing anything.

It only let me watch the first two episodes of the morning show -it's terrible (not the programme the Apple TV )

For All Mankind is a must watch. It is amazing!

I cancelled my subscription as I didn't want to end up forgetting and paying for it. About two days later I heard how amazing morning show is 🙄 annoyed I had it for 9 months and didn't watch a thing and then cancelled when there is something I'd like to watch 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Thirtyrock39

You should be able to watch all of Morning Show if you are still subscribed as it is included. There must be something you aren't doing.
