Your TunesGenie guide

Save movies and TV shows you want to buy, follow their purchase prices, and decide when to buy through Apple. TunesGenie runs on iPhone and iPad; check your local App Store listing for availability and device requirements.

Reviewed against version 6.4.0 on . Controls can look different as interface updates roll out.

How do Apple TV purchase-price alerts work?

Add a title to your TunesGenie Wish List and enable price-drop notifications. An alert tells you that TunesGenie has detected a lower purchase price for a saved title.

  1. Find the movie or TV title in TunesGenie and use its Add to wishlist control.
  2. Allow notifications for TunesGenie in your iPhone or iPad’s system Settings.
  3. In TunesGenie’s system Settings page, enable Price Drops. Return to TunesGenie so it can apply the choice. These preferences apply to this device; repeat on each device where you want alerts.
  4. When an alert arrives, check the title, edition and current price in Apple’s purchase screen before buying.

Allow for delays. Price detection and notification delivery are not instant or guaranteed. Network access, notification permission and the app’s ability to apply your preferences all matter. A sale may change before you open it. If the app reports a saving or connection error, retry when connected and check the setting again.

Price-drop tracking is based on saved titles. This guide does not offer a “notify me at any price I choose” setting. New Releases is a separate notification preference.

These are purchase-price alerts, not rental-price alerts or a way to track what is included in Apple TV+ or another streaming subscription. Apple TV here means Apple’s movie and TV storefront in the Apple TV app, not an app installed on Apple TV hardware.

How do I build and manage my wishlist?

Your TunesGenie Wish List keeps the titles you want to track in one place. Adding a wish does not buy the title.

  1. Open Search or browse Deals. Check the title and whether it is a movie, season or bundle before adding it.
  2. Use Add to wishlist on the result. Depending on your interface, this is an outline heart or a plus button. Open Wish List to confirm the item was saved.
  3. Use the list’s search, media and sort controls to find saved titles. The available media choices depend on your storefront; a combined Movies & TV choice is not available everywhere.
  4. To remove a title, swipe its Wish List row and choose Delete. This removes the wish, not a purchase from your Apple library.

If you use VoiceOver, the add control is labeled “Add to wishlist,” and the row’s removal action is “Delete from Wish List.” An add error means you should check your connection and retry; confirm the result in Wish List.

Wishlist Sync in TunesGenie’s system Settings lets you use Apple sign-in to access your TunesGenie wishes across devices. Return to the app to complete any sign-in prompt. This sync is for TunesGenie wishes; it does not import or synchronize an Apple TV or old iTunes wishlist.

Which countries and media types can I use?

App availability and title availability are different. First check whether TunesGenie is offered in your local App Store. Then check the movie or TV purchase catalog for your Apple account’s storefront. A title offered in another country may not be purchasable in yours.

TunesGenie uses storefront information from Apple. Its available media choices and search results can vary by country and rollout. Apple’s availability list does not promise that every title, edition, bundle or sale appears in TunesGenie. Check the app and the final Apple purchase screen for the item you want.

New wishlist discovery focuses on movies and TV. Existing music and book wishes can remain, but do not use this guide to add new music or books. Subscription-only titles are not evidence of an available movie or TV purchase.

How do I find and add a title that is missing?

Start with Search in TunesGenie. If a purchasable title does not appear, try sharing its Apple TV link to TunesGenie.

  1. Search by title and check the selected media type. Try the title used in your local storefront, and remove restrictive filters.
  2. Find the intended movie, season or bundle in the Apple TV app. Check that it has a purchase option for your storefront; a streaming-only page is not enough.
  3. Open the title’s sharing menu and choose Add To TunesGenie. If the action is not visible, look in the sharing menu’s additional actions.
  4. Return to TunesGenie with an internet connection, then check Wish List. Verify which item or items were added, especially for a series or bundle.

The sharing action passes a supported Apple TV link for lookup; it does not guarantee that every link resolves. Catalog gaps, unsupported links, unavailable purchases and connection failures can leave the title missing. It is a title-by-title option, not an Apple wishlist import.

If the title still does not appear, contact TunesGenie support with its Apple TV link, the country/storefront and what happened. Do not send your Apple password or payment details.
