Exploring the world of cinema and TV shows on your Apple TV? Rotten Tomatoes, the renowned movie and TV show review aggregator, is an invaluable companion. But with so many options, which Apple TV apps should you trust for the highest-rated content? We've delved into Rotten Tomatoes' data to find the must-have apps for your Apple TV.
Before we dive in, let's briefly understand Rotten Tomatoes' ratings. The platform uses a meticulous ranking system, awarding each movie or TV show a score out of 100 based on reviews from certified critics and audience members. A 'Fresh' rating (60% and above) signifies that the majority of reviews for a title are positive.

With an abundance of original content and Hollywood blockbusters, it's no surprise that Netflix boasts an impressive lineup with over 80% of its library holding a 'Fresh' rating.
