AppleTV app

I received and email regarding appletv free for the first year, but the app doesn’t allow me to accept the offer. It only shows me the “Downloaded” page. Do I have to have the Apple TV device to use the app?

iPhone 8, iOS 13

You seem to be confusing several very different things.

  • TV App. This is an application on many different Apple devices, including iPhone, Apple TV and Mac.
  • Apple TV. This is a device used to connect to a television.
  • Apple TV+. This is a subscription service used to access premium content on the TV app on your devices. You are given a free first year subscription with the purchase of a qualifying Apple device during a qualifying period of time. See especially the last paragraph under item 2 here.
