A Jailbreak Is No Longer Required! Some apps may contain pirated content and may not be legal to use in your country. Don't use your Apple TV for evil.

Cast and SideLoad Apps On Apple TV

You won't be able to get the same apps on an Apple TV that you can easily find on Android Media players, this does not mean you can't watch them. You can, because just like Chromecast, Apple gives their users the same ability to easily cast content that can be found and watched on an Apple iPhone or iPad using AirPlay from a web browser or other apps.

Android devices can also benefit from this by casting their favorite TV app right on over to an Apple TV and watch this content on their television.

This is not as easy on Android as it is from an iPhone or iPad because Apple likes to keep everything behind their walled garden. But it is still possible using a cool little work around and Apple's popular AirPlay function.

You will need the help of an app called Double Twist which lets you stream music and videos to your Apple TV from an Android phone or tablet. It only costs a couple of dollars and it is a one time fee.

Once installed, the Double Twist app can effectively send shows, movies and songs right to your Apple TV. This can let you use popular streaming apps on Android like Terrarium TV and watch the same content right on your Apple TV.
