Google Play Store has introduced a new feature that shows which apps can stream a searched TV show or movie.
Feature Details and Functionality
This update allows users to search for a title in the Play Store and see a list of apps offering the requested content. For instance, searching for 'Last of Us' may list platforms such as HBO Max, YouTube TV, and Amazon Prime.
However, the Play Store does not provide details about whether the content is included in a subscription or requires a separate purchase. This might lead to some user confusion or dissatisfaction.
Market Impact and User Expectations
Although the feature doesn't compete with specialized tracking services, it marks a modest improvement in the Play Store's media search function. Users can now consult a more straightforward list, albeit without comprehensive access details, directly from their searches.
