The Apple TV app is compatible with these Roku set top boxes

The promised Apple TV app compatibility for Roku devices has arrived — assuming you own a relatively new box.

Starting on Tuesday, Roku users can add the Apple TV app via the Roku Channel Store to discover and watch movies, TV shows, iTunes video library content, and can subscribe to Apple TV channels directly on Roku devices. Roku has also confirmed that Apple TV+ will be available on the Roku platform.

In addition to the U.S., the Apple TV app is available to Roku users in Argentina, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom.

"With the Apple TV app coming to Roku, our customers will enjoy an even broader range of exciting entertainment, including the highly anticipated Apple TV+ service," Roku's Senior Vice President and General Manager of Platform Business Scott Rosenberg said. "Roku is a valuable partner for content providers looking to reach a large and engaged audience, and we're looking forward to bringing this new option to Roku users."
