Hello apple vis,
I'll be going out of town on Friday. Since I listen to TV at night, I want a tv app that meets these requirements.
1. I won't have access to wifi and my cell data is limited. I want to download content in advance.
2. I want autoplay functionality. Wish apple's TV app still had this. it would be the best choice. I want show episodes to play automatically since I will be falling asleep.
3. The app or service doesn't have to be free, just don't want to pay an outrageous price.
4. Most of all, voice over accessible.
If anyone can think of an app that will have these features, that will be wonderful.

Sero is perfect and meets all of your requirements. it has movies and TV shows, all described. it is made by Pnuma Salutions, formerly Serotek, and all staffed by totally blind users of their own products.

I just checked out Sero and signed up for a paid plan. They seem to have a lot of resources in that app and a lot of things to do. My only question is, what exactly are the features I am paying for? I can’t really find a section that explains the pain features versus the free features. OK from what I have been able to piece together, it seems that the entire app offered a 14 day free trial and then, after that, I would’ve had to pay to keep using it anyways. Although a great app with so many things to do.

I would also recommend Philo.

the features you pay for are the audio described movies and TV shows, the old time radio, the curated list of podcasts m organized in the main podcast catagory,n the curation, not the podcasts, the Bible, various translations, both dramatized and not, some radioplays, like the Hobit, and others, the history of Rock N Roll radio show, voice chatrooms

Hello,
Thanks for the recommendations. I tried disney plus. While I was able to download a season of a show I liked, the continuous playing was hit or miss. I subscribed to the premium plan. Is that required for downloading? If so, that's fine, but a tad pricy. Sero is well and good, if I can find a long movie. Will have to see if tv shows autoplay. Tried hulu, but can't figure out how to download content. Audio described is nice, but not a half to. As for your question, that is private and I'd rather not Discuss why I listen to tv at night on here. I appreciate that you're trying to help though.

Thank you so much for the explanation on the paid reacher versus the free. I definitely do not mind paying for this app at all, as it seems to offer a very wired range of content and things to do. Plus, I don’t mind supporting developers either.

Pnuema Salutions said they cannot tell subscribers where their TV Shows and Movies come from. with that said, how do you know they use audiovolt.net, when they cannot make that public to paying subscribers
