MLS / AppleTV on Android - anybody gotten this to work well? (lemmy.world)

To start, I think that having all matches available on AppleTV is great from a fan perspective, especially for those of us who get it with our season ticket packages. (I'm less convinced about the tradeoffs for casual fans).

But as a non-Apple- device-owner, my experience on Android has been pretty poor. The app works OK on my Chromecast, but without a dedicated app the browser experience on a phone is really bad. Constantly stopping, freezing, etc. It won't work at all on firefox, and barely works on chrome. Has anyone gotten it to work more reliably?

Also, we have multiple households included in our season ticket group. But there is no way to enable family sharing of the subscription without someone having an Apple device. Anyone figured out a workaround?

I love Apple TVs coverage of MLS and I’m an iPhone user, but I absolutely hate that they are not providing a reasonable product on Android and Windows (I’ve tried the browser based version and it was an awful experience).

Yeah - it's basically great for the subset of people who are already MLS fans and who own Apple devices. For newcomers who aren't Apple users / want MessiTV, I seriously think that this user experience would be enough to turn them off.

I bought a $20 AndroidTv box and its working nicely (know that doesnt solve the problem directly but the best I have come up with) https://www.walmart.com/ip/onn-Google-TV-4K-Streaming-Box-New-2023-4K-UHD-resolution/2835618394

Does it support an Apple TV+ app?

My Chromecast does... That works pretty well, but the android phone experience is still hot garbage
