Is the "Stocks" app available for Apple TV?

I want to turn my TV into a stock ticker and have been going down the list of possible ways to accomplish that... thought I'd ask for some ideas. Apple's "Stocks" app would be great but I couldn't find it on the TV app store. There is an app 'Stock Wall' that looks perfect, but it doesn't appear to have TSX-V symbols, other apps I tried either didn't work or also didn't have TSX-V symbols.

I know I can airplay etc... but was hoping for an independent solution that can run 24/7.

I thought about quickly making a webpage with the stock tickers I want and letting the Apple TV sit on that page, but have since learned Apple didn't put a browser in the aTV. Actually now that I think of it, I do have a QNAP nas on the network for plex... it has an with Chrome in it i could use to surf to a custom page.

Lot's of "buts"!

Any other ideas welcome.

Hello Azakcraed.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I see that you would like to know if the Apple Stocks app is available for Apple TV. It is currently not available, however you can submit some feedback here:

To accomplish what you want, just use the 'Screen Mirroring" feature of and iPhone, iPad or Mac to display the Stocks app running on another device to the TV using an Apple TV. It's not ideal but it will work. The alternative is to directly hook up a device to your TV using an HDMI cable.

The upside to this is you can run any Stocks app that you desire not just the included Stock pp.

That is done however, the challenge still remains.

As an Apple TV specialist have you come across any workarounds in your travels, or are you able to provide any help as far as potential alternatives to accomplish the task at hand?

Thanks

Thanks. I know I can airplay... and hook up another device (ie. the nas). It sounds like those are the only options.

Cheers folks!
