I noticed that since it became ATV+ it can be difficult to find apps until you figure out where to look. It’s not that intuitive.Um, there is a Library tab that lists all of your iTunes Store purchased content.

I also agree... we all here at Macrumors have long known about AppleTV+ but for many people they won't clearly understand the service and that it is like "Netflix" if the content is buried in an app they have had for many years and contains content from tons of other apps. I think this would be very confusing to my parents etc. who seem to manage Netflix ok.
1000% agreed. The naming is a disaster. The usability of the software/hardware has also degenerated lately (Siri remote? Ugh) It’s a shame because I really loved the early versions of the AppleTV hardware.Yes....
Apple TV, Apple TV, Apple TV, and Apple TV+
Apple TV is a hardware device. Apple TV is an app on Apple TV that curates content you can buy from Apple and also content you can stream through other installed apps (but not all apps, and there is no way to tell which ones). Apple TV is an app...dcurt.is

I’m over it now. I cancelled my free 1-year subscription and have deleted the app from all devices. I’d like to delete it from the Apple TV hardware too, and disable* the TV button on the remote, but there doesn’t seem to be a way.
As a confused consumer, I don’t even want to call a helpline for assistance. Neither of us would know what incarnation of “Apple TV” the other was talking about! Not worth the hassle. (Never thought I’d say that about Apple)
* Update: The TV button can be changed back to "Home" under; Settings > Remotes and Devices. I wish it would stay put!
...I have never called the app Apple TV and Apple TV+. It’s only TV and TV+ for me so the full Apple TV is only reserved for the hardware.
I bought Apple TV+ shows from Apple but it is not under the Library tab...Um, there is a Library tab that lists all of your iTunes Store purchased content.
I completely agree.
I went to go look for shows yesterday, and it was lost in all the other content.
There isn't even a clearly defined subsection of TV+ shows I could find in the TV app itself
That said, I wish Netflix would become supported in the TV app soon. I always have to go to Netflix separately and I despise the autoplay videos (which I've blocked at the router level but it causes 'Problem loading content' errors while browsing if I don't go to search quickly enough)
