Apple TV+ Disappointment

<img border=“0” src=“http://static.crabapples.net/apple-rotten.jpg" align=“right” alt=“Rotten Apple”/>Before I came to California I downloaded some movies to watch from our collection on Movies Anywhere.

I’ve watched most of them and wanted to watch something else so I downloaded Dune on HBO Max. Worked perfectly.

I was also able to download You Were Never Really Here on Amazon Prime Video. Worked as expected and I enjoyed the film.

Today I decided I’d download Slow Horses to watch this evening on Apple TV+. It failed, twice as of this writing.

Why? For a company pushing services so hard, why is it so painful? Sure, you can say “But they have a lot of users.” Absolutely, they do. But do you think HBO Max and Amazon Prime are smaller?

It’s disappointing.

One of these days I’m going to run Charles and see what URLs each of these services hits for streaming content.
