From CNET: Hey, Apple TV app, welcome to Amazon's Fire TV. Amazon announced that starting today, Apple's app is now available for download to Amazon Fire TV devices, namely the Fire TV streaming stick and Fire TV Stick 4K. Amazon says the app is coming soon to additional Fire TV devices, including the Fire TV Cube.
The app is the exclusive home for the Apple TV Plus service, due to go live on Nov. 1. The service is a Netflix rival that will launch with nine confirmed titles, including a drama called The Morning Show starring Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, the post-apocalyptic thriller See starring Jason Momoa and a comedy about poet Emily Dickinson. It costs $5 a month, but buyers of new and refurbished Apple devices will get a year of access for free.
Beyond access to Apple TV Plus, the app also lets Fire TV owners rent or buy TV shows and movies from Apple's iTunes service, and provides a place to watch iTunes content they already purchased.
The app works with Fire TV's built-in Alexa voice assistant to allow voice searches for particular shows, for example "Alexa, play Dickinson." Alexa commands can also find and open the app.
