Apple TV app

How is Apple TV app priced. Also is it an app on my Apple TV 4K??? Plus I own streaming services like cbs all access already so how does this integrate or do I cancel one and order it in the app.

The Apple TV App brings access to certain Channels, that don’t need their own app.

Subscribe to Apple TV channels in the Apple TV app - Apple Support

Such subscriptions are a different ‘product’ to subscription that need their own app, and may not be interchangeable. Getting a subscription to a Channel through the Apple TV App then requires the use of the Apple TV app (no web access etc.).

CBS All Access is one of those Channels.

You can keep using the separate app with its own subscription and terms, even if linked through the Apple TV App,

or get it as an Apple TV App Channel with its perks. That is your choice to make. They will be priced similarly, so it is about convenience and options.

The Apple TV App is as its name implies an App on your Apple TV. Its the black App with the TV logo on it.


If you mean the Apple Tv+ subscription service then that is a subscription you access through the TV App and will be available in the Fall. It is independent of your other subscriptions.


Your other App subscriptions can be used inside the Tv App to access content from them.
