You need the Apple TV app to do so. No reason they couldn't have implemented this feature (I guess to push you to get an iDevice?). I don't want to have to grab my iPad every time I want to view my watchlist. Those who want to get into Apple TV+ without any Apple devices will be completely missing out.

The service has been OK thus far, but this would add reasons to why it's not more popular :(

EDIT: workaround for the lack of search... in a Google search, type in "Apple TV+ [name of show or film]".

I don’t like that having other streaming services linked to the Apple TV app only works with Apple devices.

It’s too confusing now. You’ve got:

Apple TV HD/4K (the box)
Apple TV app
Apple TV+ (the service)
Apple TV+ app (this is for some older TVs made by LG etc & on Sky Q/Sky glass. Sky is the satellite broadcaster in the UK)

On top of all that, you can’t view your iTunes content with only the TV+ app either.

They should rename the hardware to something else & cut out the fragmentation of which app works on what & what can be viewed in each one.

So as of about a couple weeks ago, "Up Next" is now in the web browser! You just need to scroll to that section to see it
