    An Apple TV app with Chromecast support and I’ll finally subscribe. Apple has put out a handful of great shows but piracy is the only way to watch them for Android users.

        I did, but that requires either using a smart TV, which isn’t happening, or the Android TV interface which would require a new device and then a clunky interface.

        Casting from my phone is the only acceptable method and all other apps support it.

          Casting from your phone is occasionally convenient but for everyday TV/movie watching it’s way more clunky than Android TV. And you can’t really browse for something to watch together with someone else on a phone.

            I have to disagree.

            Casting from my phone is the easiest method. I can have YouTube playing and jump between the different streaming apps to look for something to play. It’s easy enough to have a conversation with someone to discuss what to play next.

    Apple, I never wanted to work with you back when you required a dumb, terrible iTunes program to sync my iPod back in 2009. It’s now 2024, and you still require it because…

    The program runs like garbage and still looks like crap. No thank you, I don’t need an Android app that you’ll never update.
