So the ATV4K box is soon releasing tvOS17 which supposedly will allow VPN apps to exist. Is ExpressVPN working on releasing their tvOS app already?
When I informed livechat support they didn’t seem too aware of what I was talking about, and giving me empty vague promises….
Every vpn is already out for apple tv. Express is late to the party. You would think they would be first. As of right now, they are nowhere to be found.
yeah i chatted today and got the sense they don’t know about the new update. surprised express wasn’t ready day 1.
look forward to not dealing with airplay issues when it finally comes.
Yes, we’re currently working on a tvOS app. We don’t have a specific timeline to share right now, but in the meantime, users who want to enjoy the benefits of a VPN on their Apple TV can already do so using our router app or Aircove, our hardware router.
Many of the competitors seem to have gotten the message: Best VPN apps for Apple TV - 9to5Mac
@u/ExpressVPN can you share atleast an ETA?
Only #7 and #9 on this list have already put up on the App Store… I’m guessing it’s not an ExpressVPN issue, and more an Apple TV issue
Our VPN app for Apple TV has now been launched! Our new Apple TV app is included in the ExpressVPN subscription and will come at no additional cost to users.
Thank you, our users, for your understanding and support as we worked to enhance your experience. Your patience has been invaluable, and we are grateful for your continued trust, always.
Over the next few months, we will continue to make improvements to the Apple TV app. If you’d like early access to the upcoming improvements on our Apple TV app, you can sign up for our beta program.
How to set up ExpressVPN for Apple TV
Compatibility
The ExpressVPN app for tvOS is available to download on Apple TV devices running tvOS 17 and above. The supported models include 1st to 3rd gen Apple TV 4K and the Apple TV HD.
If you’re using an older Apple TV, such as the 1st to 3rd gen Apple TV, you will need to use MediaStreamer or our Router app.
Your feedback and suggestions are most welcome, and we’ll do our best to answer your questions.
Actually not every vpn… nord has not made one yet
That’s a shame cos I just switched over from nord.
Sorry @Expressvpn, as a customer for many years, a price raise followed by no release date for an Apple TV app, has made me switch to a different product. You should realize that VPN services are a commodity and when the product value drops, customers will flee.
This pathetic reply disappoints me to no end.
Usually you don’t tell your customer base that you have no timelines
So it is just about getting the last out of your Aircove?
I don’t think I’m going to renew my sub with you
Media streamer doesn’t work for all streaming services. AMC+ for example. MAX is spotty as hell. Please prioritize this! I am so close to cancelling express and getting a new VPN with Apple TV support
If only Apple were kind enough to release a pre-released copy of their software, so developers could test and submit apps quickly. That would be nice.
Would also be nice if Apple made a way to easily port apps from ios to tvos.
Oh wait, they do???
My annual subscription comes to an end next month, so this complete lack of preparation could not have happened at a better time for me. So long ExpressVPN. It’s not me, it’s you…
I just jumped ship so I could use apple tv. Bye
This is disappointing; what a lame response!! I was sure you guys will be ready at launch. Keep your Aircove where the sun don’t shine. You’ve just lost a 10+ years old subscriber.
My subscription with ExpressVPN is ending soon. If NordVPN or an equal competitor gets their app on Apple TV sooner I will be switching to them.
Long time express VPN user here.
I use an express VPN flashed router, so I can make do without the app. But it’s a pretty bad look not to have been working on this app and have it ready to go the day that tvOS 17 is released.
