Will the Now TV app for Apple TV ever get an update?
The current version is complete rubbish and makes me regret ever getting a Now TV pass.
Unless there is an update my Now TV experience will be very short indeed.

By no means was I suggesting they’re going to throw the app away and start again based on our feedback! I merely suggested that I *hope* they’ve taken one or more of or more significant suggestions to heart...A man can dream, can’t he!? 😀

Well, that’s some pretty awesome news in the email we just received.

interesting to see what happens from here on in and whether things speed up.
Frustrating to know what we can and cant discuss in here.
But what the heck.. ive been vocal about my disappointment for the lack of boost and am quite unpleasantly surprised that it remains off the beta. build 2 and no boost.
As ive said before, as much as I and many others have been waiting for this new app for literally years... if its released without boost I simply will not be able to use it and thats such a shame. Thats not me being stubborn or entitled... just the fact I expect 1080p minimum picture quality and I pay for boost so of course ill only ever be able to use a device to watch it that supports boost and I desperately want that device to be my appleTV.
Without boost ill find it harder and harder to contribute something meaningful to the Beta trial as I wont sit down and watch a movie or TV show in 720.
Fingers crossed its going to find its way in there before the beta finishes.

Totally agree with the sentiment.
Ive yet to look at beta 2 will do so later this evening.
However, of course the Boost support is much lower down the list of priorities than basic functionality but my hope is that it will be 'switched on' (after all its only a higher quality stream) in a later beta but certainly before it goes live.
I know i must seem to bang on about boost a lot - its just that in 2020, with the function already available on other supported platforms - it seems like a travesty to even contemplate that the long awaited AppleTV app on the HD and 4K boxes wont be in 1080p Dolby 5.1!
Again, it will be with a very heavy heart as I simply will not be able to use the app if it is unsupported and have to stick with the truly awful NowTV box which does.
Who knows.. maybe the app is heading for a new golden era 🙂 with regular updates as often as the iOS counterparts get.... we can but dream

I have to ask...
Anyone else struggling to see where the changes are? Have I done something wrong because it feels like the same app as beta 1 - definitely updated it though.
