How Do I Get New Apps On Apple Tv

Ever stared blankly at your Apple TV home screen, feeling like it’s the same old movie night, every night? Time to spice things up! You can get new apps. Think of it as giving your TV a wardrobe refresh, but instead of clothes, it’s entertainment.

The App Store Awaits!

First, fire up your Apple TV. Grab that remote, the one that seems to always hide under the sofa cushions. Now, navigate to the glorious App Store icon. It's like a digital doorway to endless possibilities.

Spot it? Good! Click it open. Inside, you'll find a treasure trove of apps, like a digital candy store but for streaming services, games, and even fitness programs that promise to make you sweat in front of the TV (the irony!).

Searching for Your Heart's Desire

Now, how do you find these gems? The App Store offers a few ways. You can browse through categories like “Movies,” “TV Shows,” or “Games.” Maybe you are in the mood for a baking show or an epic space battle?

Feeling specific? Use the search bar! Type in the name of the app you're craving. Is it "Disney+" or perhaps "Peacock" because you heard they have that reality show everyone's talking about?

Pro-tip: Spelling counts! Although, the Apple TV search is surprisingly forgiving. It's like it knows what you *meant* to type even when your fingers betray you.

Getting the App: The Download Dance

Found the app of your dreams? Awesome! Now, look for the “Get” button. It's usually right there next to the app icon, practically begging you to press it. Prepare yourself for the downloading dance.

Click "Get," and if it’s a free app, it will immediately start downloading. If it costs money, you'll be prompted to confirm your purchase. Think of it as a small investment in your future evenings of cozy entertainment.

You might need to use your Apple ID password. This is when you silently thank yourself for not choosing a password that's just "password123." Watch the little circle fill up as the app downloads. This is like watching paint dry, but at least at the end of this process, you get a brand new app.

Opening Your New Toy

Once the app is downloaded, the "Get" button magically transforms into an "Open" button. Ta-da! You've successfully installed a new app. Time to explore!

Click "Open" to launch the app. Prepare to be amazed (or mildly entertained, depending on the app). You might need to sign in with an account, but after that, you’re good to go.

App Organization: Taming the Digital Jungle

Suddenly, your Apple TV home screen is bursting with new icons. It’s like digital spring cleaning, but in reverse! Don’t worry, you can organize them.

Press and hold the Select button on your remote until the icons start wiggling. Then, drag them around to create folders or put your most-used apps front and center. It’s your TV, your rules!

Want to get rid of an app you never use? Do the wiggle trick again and press the Play/Pause button. This will bring up a menu where you can delete the app. Consider it digital decluttering. Marie Kondo would be proud!

Enjoy Your Upgraded Apple TV!

Adding new apps to your Apple TV is easier than you think. It's like adding sprinkles to your ice cream, making it that much better. So, go forth and explore! Discover new shows, games, and experiences. Your TV evenings will never be the same.

Just remember to blame us when you end up spending the entire weekend binge-watching that show everyone’s been talking about.
