The iOS and Android versions of the Starz app for phones and tablet worked well too, and offer the very convenient option to download TV shows and movies for offline viewing. The iOS version worked with both AirPlay (which is the only way to use it with the old Apple TV) and Google Cast, and the Android version with Google Cast, so you can watch the app on a TV using a Chromecast or Android TV device.
