All in all, there is a lot of catalog to which we have access, which is why <strong>refining the navigation is really important<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A new navigation in the face of a growing catalog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2023\/03\/16\/tv-app-mac-redesign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">discovered by 9to5Mac<\/a>, Apple is working on a redesign of the Mac TV app. The latest beta version of macOS 13.3 contains the new design, which <strong>includes a navigation sidebar that is broken down into different sections<\/strong>, such as &#8220;Apple TV,&#8221; &#8220;Store,&#8221; &#8220;Library,&#8221; &#8220;Devices,&#8221; and &#8220;Playlists.&#8221; While the redesign does not offer significant visual changes, it is an important step in making the TV app on Mac easier to navigate, as until now it only featured a tab bar at the top of the interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Imagen-1-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-277402\" \/><figcaption>New design of the TV app on the Mac.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;Apple TV&#8221; section of the sidebar <strong>contains sections dedicated to &#8220;Watch Now&#8221; and &#8220;Apple TV+&#8221;<\/strong>. From here we can also access any Apple TV channel we subscribe to, such as MLS Season Pass, Showtime or Starz. On the other hand, the &#8220;Store&#8221; section allows us to buy movies and TV shows through the iTunes Store, while the &#8220;Library&#8221; section gives us access to previously purchased content, rentals and all that comes from family sharing, among other options.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Apple TV\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/801a87a3-1199-4174-83fe-c9ee6ffa0e7d\/2532405612\/apple-tv-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Apple TV<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-tv.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-tv.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is still unclear when Apple plans to launch the redesign of the TV app for Mac.
