tvOS 17.2 Apple TV App Wishlist

Yeah, right, make threatening statements about using something else if you don't get your way. That will get you precisely nowhere on these forums. If you did the same with your feedback it will likely go straight to the trashcan. What you should have done is state your case logically, reasonably, and with examples of why you want the feature returned.

No one here is an Apple employee, just volunteer users. We have no interest in what you do. If you think switching to Amazon Prime will be a better experience then go right ahead,

Wishlist, revert the update to tvOS 17.2. It sucks. Movies won’t play that own without a reboot. Everything is a mess. Why would you make these changes? It’s awful.

Seriously, an option to rollback an update would be at the top of my list.

My wish list has seemingly returned. I have to go to the (now old) movies app and then at the top this are 2 tabs, 1) iTunes films and 2) Wish list.

I cannot add content to my wish list anymore though. Apple have removed that option which boggles my mind.

Hope you find your wish list.

By 16/12/23 Itunes is gone. You are redirected to the Apple store.

Found it now. Clicking on the Movies ITunes tile in ATV gives a tab option for wish list. Glad it’s back but what an absolute mess they’ve made of this

Apple really messed this up. The new interface is almost unusable, unless you’re using a third party app. The Apple branded apps are terrible.

Thank you! Sucks that we can't continue to add to our wish lists (I like to use it to track pricing, so I know if there's been a price drop), but at least the old stuff is there.

You can still see all your wishlist items in the iTunes Store.

and I thought I read they were going to transfer the wishlist in the next update.

Yes, thank you! I found the Wish-List link in the old Movies/iTunes AppleTV app and all my movies are still there. I have the impression that Apple added the link after the release of 17.2. Great news! 🥰

This is really frustrating because it reads as passively hostile toward customers. This couldn’t possibly have been a hard feature to preserve from an engineering perspective. It was the one place in all of technology where my own preferences for movie recommendations had stayed safe from subscription services that came and went, and now it’s gone. I’d been amassing recommended movies to rent or buy — and yes, I would actually pull from that list multiple times a year — since I was in college.

It was already frustrating that the Apple TV app had fragmented the tagging mechanism by having “Add to Watchlist” in iTunes, and “Add to Next Up” in the Apple TV app. And now both are gone? Huge bummer.

To those who don’t think apple monitors this community they must definitely do. I’d still leave feedback on the help site, but they definitely see these comments. They just don’t care.

I will never rent another movie from Apple if they don’t fix this. Amazon has basically the same library. Its probably time to buy a Roku as well.

Seriously, this is a dumpster fire.

also, there is almost no way they fix this. Those list are likely gone.

Apple does not have time to read the forums, the best way to get their attention is to use the feedback link provided above. They do read those and if enough of you submit feedback they might consider restoring the wishlist. Good luck!

I can no longer see movies that were purchased after Apple updated to TV OS 17.2. This is an absolute nightmare, as nothing is easily accessible, which app is usually known for.

Does anyone have a remedy for finding movies you previously purchased, without having to go name by name to find them?

List should still be there; thou I created my wishlist on my iPhone (iOS 17.2.1) I go into iTunes where the Wishlist is still there…BUT leave your bottom selection on music. I created mine in my phone and not directly on Apple TV.

On the Apple TV go into “Movies iTunes” , you will see WishList at the top. You can only view what was there. At least on mine it did. We have more than one ATV; we noticed the list is the same on all. Formerly ATV devices we had different lists on each ATV. So in short we did lose lists for sure.
