Why have they made looking for a movie on the Apple TV app so horrendous.

Possibly it differs by country or region, but my macOS TV app Search window shows these genres and topics: tv+, Fantastic worlds, Action, Drama, Kids and Family, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Comedy, Thriller, Romance, Independent, Horror, Documentary, Adventure.

You don’t have to click tiles, you can try unlisted keywords such as ‘foreign’ or ‘international’, by typing those words in the search box.

Movies in the iTunes Store unfortunately have a single genre tagged to them, so you might overlook good titles if e.g. multi-genre fit {drama, mystery, horror, thriller} is categorized as only one of those.

Movies list the Tomatometer score, based on reviews. That would be an indicator of what critics think of the movie. While not perfect, it won’t be distorted easily by mobs of users, that would make other types of scores less trustworthy.

For browsing, try the iTunes Store app on your iPhone or iPad. That lists movies somewhat similar to how it was in the old iTunes application, with more titles in view, and 24×36 posters.

Apple does not read posts in this space, it is a user to user forum.
