8 Shop Right from Your Couch
Did you know you can use your Apple TV to buy stuff other than movies? There are quite a few apps that let you make purchases right on your big-screen! You could order a gift for a friend, send your spouse or partner flowers, or even order a pizza. The possibilities are endless (as long as there’s an app).
QVC
Move over grandma, QVC just got a little more interesting. Now you can use the QVC app to watch live video while making those late-night, I’m-probably-going-to-regret-this-later, purchases. The app offers a “speed buy” button to make purchasing quick and easy.
Amazon
Amazon Prime members can shop from the millions of items found on Amazon while lounging in the living room. You can browse photos and videos, and purchase items with just a click. No wonder Amazon is the world’s second trillion dollar company.
1-800-Flowers
Take a break from your favorite show to order your favorite person a bouquet of roses. The 1-800-Flowers app makes it easy to find and purchase gifts. You can order flowers, chocolates, fruit baskets, and other gifts and send them just using your remote. Same day delivery is available on many items.
Edmunds
While you can’t buy a car with your Apple TV, you can be an informed buyer before making your next automobile purchase. Edmunds lets you browse new and used cars, read reviews, watch videos and how-to guides, and offers tips to help you have a pleasant shopping experience.
Papa John’s
This might be one of the coolest shopping apps available on Apple TV. Papa John’s has been in the news a bit lately and the company is working hard to distance itself from the man himself. If there’s one thing that should stick around, it’s this app. It lets you customize a pizza right from your couch and creates a virtual pizza in real time as you go.
When you have your order just the way you want it, press the play/pause button to place your order. This is one you have to experience in person just to understand how much work went into it. Hopefully other Apple TV app developers take note!
