Apple plans to release an Apple TV+ Android app as soon as today, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The app will allow Android smartphone and tablet users to watch Apple TV+ content in a native app rather than having to rely on watching through a web browser.
Apple has long offered an Apple TV app for iOS devices, and it also has dedicated Apple TV apps for various Android-based smart TVs and set-top boxes. The new Apple TV Android app will be installable on Android smartphones, and it is aimed at increasing Apple TV+ subscriber numbers.

Apple TV+ is priced at $9.99 per month, but new Android subscribers will be able to get a free trial.
