Comics and Audiobooks on the Apple TV

For parents looking for a Netflix-like service for children's books.

After a free, 30-day trial you’ll need to pay for a subscription to the service. One of the best features is a customized profile for each child in your household, including personalized recommendations. A weekly, detailed log to track reading progress is automatically emailed to parents.

Why we love it

Epic definitely lives up to its name. If you have children 12 and under at your home, this is definitely an app to try. While you’ll need to subscribe, the huge amount of content available - including the audiobook library - is worth checking out. The service can even be accessed on your iPhone or iPad.

For audiobook fans looking for something new and old.

Once you join, the first audiobook is free, which is a nice perk. The app’s library continues to grow weekly, and the interface looks great on the big screen.

Why we love it

If you can’t get enough audiobooks, this app should be high on your list. Along with being optimized for the big screen with specific gesture controls and interface for the Apple TV, the service can also be accessed on your iPhone, iPad, and even through CarPlay on the road.
