When Apple launched its new Apple TV a year ago, it announced to us that the future of television was applications, but those of us who acquired the device encountered a great obstacle that was partly to blame for the applications for Apple TV have not exploded as expected: the difficulty of finding applications in your App Store. Either developers adapted existing applications for iOS to the new platform offered by tvOS or they practically went unnoticed because they could not access or share them. This has already changed and now it is not only possible to find applications outside of the Apple TV, but you can even download them from your iPhone or Mac.
The launch of the Apple TV was made with a store dude apps still in its infancy. Without defined categories, the beginnings of the users with the new App Store were a bit chaotic. Apple has been improving this aspect with short but continuous steps, and little by little it has been adding the same functionality as its sister stores. It was, however, a few weeks ago when he took a more important step: any application downloaded to your iPhone that had its equivalent for Apple TV would be automatically downloaded to this device. Now at last you can also download these applications from your Mac, iPhone or iPad thanks to the fact that you can see all the applications in the App Store, even those that are only designed for Apple TV.
The search in the iOS App Store does not yet reflect results from the Apple TV, but it will be something that will not take long to be fixed. Right now the most comfortable way to search for an Apple TV application from another device is through the Safari search engine, and when you press the link, the App Store will automatically open with that application on the screen. An important improvement to be able to install applications on Apple TV from your iPhone, and curious that despite having been on the market for many more years, we still cannot install applications on our iPad from the iPhone. We will have to keep waiting. If you want to try the installation from the iPhone, I leave you one of the most useful applications for Apple TV as an example.
