Apple Adds Multiple New App Categories to tvOS App Store
Apple today updated the tvOS App Store to add several new app categories to make it easier for Apple TV 4 owners to find content on their devices. As outlined by AfterPad, a site that showcases Apple TV apps, the new categories are rolling out to Apple TV users and may not be available to everyone just yet. Some users may only see the new categories under Purchased Apps until the rollout is complete.
New categories are as follows:
- Business Apps
- Weather Apps
- Utilities
- Travel Apps
- Social Networking Apps
- Reference Apps
- Productivity Apps
- Music Apps
- Finance Apps
- Book Apps
- Medical Apps
- Catalogs
At launch, the tvOS App Store did not include a Categories section like the iOS App Store, making app discovery difficult early on. App Categories were added at the beginning of November. Available categories were initially limited to just Games and Entertainment, but they have expanded since then.
The tvOS App Store now closely mirrors the iOS App Store when it comes to content discovery, with Categories, Top Charts, and featured apps available.
