I wish Apple Podcasts, Music and TV were all part of one “Apple Media” App. At the very least, combining Music and Podcasts would be cool.
@james You used to be able to get your music and your tv and movies in the iTunes store. It had a wishlist so you could keep track of things you want to buy later and maybe even see that one of them is on sale (though you pretty much had to remember how much it was before and see the difference). And then they took that away from us and now we have to use Apple TV which has no wishlist, a worse interface, and fewer TV categories. Sorry, pet peeve.
I love some of the shows on Apple TV. The App is a bare bones piece of shit.
It’s a media player that makes an API call to a single endpoint that’s just “/get all shows”.
All the media apps (Music, TV) are desperately lacking with really shit interfaces. Seperating everything out as led to multiple independent teams creating different and rudimentary experiences.
But it’s not surprising, Apples ethos judging by the the Vision headset catastrophe is “we have a monopoly so let’s burn all our brand capital by releasing things that are alpha/beta which is not becoming of an org of our standard, but like what are our customers gonna do, they’re locked in and/or there’s no better alternative”
@james Preach, brother! But I still buy their products, on the super rare occasion I buy phones or tablets, so I guess it doesn't bother me enough to vote with my wallet. By and large the construction of their products and overall hardware quality is superior from my experience, even though you're paying extra for that. I just wish they'd pull their heads out when it comes to their media and software.
