The subscription model for alternatives like justwatch or reelgood are, afaik due to the fact that they license the official data and aggregate them (and also, have native apps for Apple TV and Android and the web and even Tizen if anyone still uses it). They have free tiers, and Trakt, Plex, and Kodi are all to varying degrees on the same mixed model. Mostly, the odd thing about this app is that it's not an tvOS app, at the very least. I don't watch TV on my phone. It's literally the smallest screen I have. Although, in fairness, I use the service that allows me to watch sports on time and beyond that, Criterion Channel. I have cable only because I live with someone who watches cable, but the guide works fine for her. I know that I'm an edge case by large, but I'm in a Discord chat where over a thousand others are also pretty much sports only watchers. It's a childhood obsession turned into an adulthood obsession, but then again, every major league baseball team have hired someone - sometimes more than one, from the community. There's no sports-only niche streaming aggregation app, but justwatch covers all of the streaming sports available to me (except minor league baseball, but no app lets me set up a multi-view from the platform itself without me doing it with the remote anyway) The main players and platforms are well covered at this point. There's a range of services from the easy but not-private to the less-easy but self-hosted. Is there really that big of a iPhone only market? As a Mac/iPad user who nevertheless has an Android phone and a Samsung projector, it's awkward, that's all.
