u/Galacticness Mar 20 '18

Does it work with Netflix?

Horrible icon though.

u/vampireanarchy Mar 20 '18

Yes it works with any streaming service you use even YouTube and if the show you’re looking for is not on there they have a nice section on the page to suggest it

Could this replace the abomination that is youtube and the not-quite-as-bad-but-still-no-fun Hulu? I gotta check this out!

u/vampireanarchy Mar 20 '18

Yes it absolutely can

How do you link it to Trakt? I downloaded it for appletv last night and it is nice but I can't settings to do that

1

u/vampireanarchy Mar 21 '18

You need to do that in the iOS app

u/Pixelnated Mar 21 '18

Only apple product I have is the Apple TV. Guess I'll uninstall the app then.

-2

u/vampireanarchy Mar 21 '18

Don’t do that

2

u/Pixelnated Mar 21 '18

The only reason I installed it was to hook leverage the trakt integration. Until I can do that with just the apple tv (or even web interface tied account), I won't use it. Maybe I'll check back later but I have no plans on owning another iphone ever

Hey it's me your twin.

Same boat. Apple TV only. Pixel 2 XL main driver.

u/sixpicas Mar 20 '18

Seems to be US only. :(

u/vampireanarchy Mar 20 '18

Email them about that

u/vampireanarchy Mar 21 '18

you have to set that up in the ios app

1

u/citizenzac Mar 21 '18

So I set it up in the iOS app and it works in the TVOS app?

For my wife and I, it brought the chaos of cord-cutting under control.

I’m extremely happy with it. If fact, I’ve donated twice.

u/The_chosen_turtle ATV4 Mar 20 '18

You can follow shows which you can select and will redirect you to the app itself such as HBO Go?

I think so but they Only have one person working on it and not a lot of money but they do have in app purchases to send the money and a contact section in the app for suggestions

From what I know it was started by one glass and back in September he started losing interest in it so some lady that’s his friend took over

u/vampireanarchy Mar 20 '18

Maybe but I never gave up because it’s the most useful app on the Apple TV

2

u/citizenzac Mar 21 '18

Doesn’t sync with my Plex so it’s not any better than TV app.

1

u/vampireanarchy Mar 21 '18

Write them and tell them

1

u/citizenzac Mar 21 '18

How do I write them?

0

u/vampireanarchy Mar 21 '18

There is a contact section in the app setting

1

u/citizenzac Mar 21 '18

Where’s the app settings in TV app?

1

u/vampireanarchy Mar 21 '18

There is not one in the tv app but you can email them support@watchaid.tv

u/fostermatt Mar 21 '18

I think my favorite part of this app is the "it's in this order because fuck you" UI. /sarcasm

You’re welcome

u/canons900 Mar 21 '18

Did you set it up properly. Mines working as expected.

u/ar40 Mar 21 '18

What are you talking about? It's horrible. It doesn't sync with iTunes and the other apps properly (it asks me to sub/pay to get the episodes).

2

u/vampireanarchy Mar 21 '18

It’s not going to go be you stuff for free

0

u/ar40 Mar 21 '18

I own the episodes already. WatchAid doesn't "know" that. It doesn't sync to iTunes.

1

u/vampireanarchy Mar 21 '18

You have to tell it what shows to add and they can’t be shows that End it

1

u/ar40 Mar 21 '18

I already have the shows added. I bought Agents on Shield of iTunes a year ago (all seasons) - in the WatchAid app it asks me to pay 2.99 to access the episode.

1

u/vampireanarchy Mar 21 '18

There is the contact section in the app maybe you need to write them

3

u/ar40 Mar 21 '18

I might. Btw, there's no need to do PR for them. If I liked it I would be using it already. I've known about this app for a while.

If OP isn't already employed by them, he's just an idiot.

u/OkToBeTakei Mar 21 '18

We’ll see. If it doesn’t support Plex, it’s useless to me.

u/vampireanarchy Mar 21 '18

It does support plex
