Curious how many Apple TV+ users are out there. Despite all the noises, I don't personally know anyone who used the service, or often, even heard of shows on that platform. They never release subscriber numbers (of course), and Apple likely doesn't care if it loses money during early stages. But everyone knows streaming is mostly a money losing business, and wonder how Apple is doing there

I don't know, but I gave it a try for a few months and was seriously disappointed. I tried 3 series, watched them to the end, and all 3 were severely lacking in quality. They had good casts, good sets, good music, but the stories were all very shallow and predictable.

Not to mention weird bugs in the iPadOS app - if you try to download more than X episodes too quickly, like because you're at the airpot before boarding a plane and want an offline cache to last the long flight, the downloads fail with a useless (classic Apple) error message, and nothing outside of a restart of the device fixes it. I hit this a few times, and there are forum reports going back years.

So yeah, had one free month, paid for 2, and cancelled because it isn't even close to being worth it.
