App Store Description

IMPORTANT: Like all other Apple TV apps, restrictions imposed by Apple mean Galactic requires an iOS device to open sites on your TV via AirPlay.

+ Charted #1 for paid apps across the world.
+ Beware of copies. An original app by David Mazzeo.
+ 8.6K+ downloads since June 2023.

Ever get those niggling questions while you're binging your favourite shows? "Who plays this role?", "When did this movie come out?", "Where do I know this actor from?" – answer them and more with Galactic, the new way to search the web on Apple TV.

# Please note: due to system limitations imposed by Apple, Galactic requires an iOS device to open websites. Unfortunately, the Apple TV is unable to run them independently. For the same reason, Galactic for iOS is unable to open videos in-app, though you can view them seamlessly via Safari with one tap.

# Features:

+ Get instant, high-quality results in a style that takes full advantage of the big screen with Galactic's five supported search engines, each with a powerful purpose on the web:
Bing: A general search engine for the entire web.
Wikipedia: Read and explore millions of articles.
Dictionary: Define new words.
DuckDuckGo: Quick info about any keyword.
Pexels: A gallery of millions of pictures shot by expert photographers.

NOT ON COMPETITORS:
+ Launch and explore full webpages on the big screen via Galactic for iOS! Simply click a Bing result, and scan the QR code on your iPhone/iPad to get started.
+ No more dealing with standard, cramped AirPlay mirroring that doesn't even match your TV's aspect ratio. Mirror to your TV in full 16:9, zoomed out for the best experience.

+ Store your recent search history on-device.
+ Comes with Galactic for Apple Watch, the best web browser for your wrist.
+ Heaps more!

Still not convinced? Don't just take my word for it. 
Customers agree that Galactic is the best of its kind: having charted #1 in paid apps in countries across the world, and receiving over 8.6K downloads since its launch.

There's more than just great metrics though.


# Why choose Galactic?

+ An unrivalled design made for Apple TV. 
Galactic for Apple TV is made for the big screen, featuring large text that appears readable from up close and on your couch, easy to navigate search results so you don't get lost while getting answers.

+ Unique features.
Galactic is the only app to offer a special AirPlay experience (via an iOS device) that displays websites in 16:9, zoomed out for your TV.

+ High-quality results.
Galactic partners directly with search engines that are used by millions of people each day for their detailed and accurate results.

+ Comes with Galactic for Apple Watch.
Get the best web browser for your wrist included free of charge.

+ Frequent updates.
Galactic receives constant service and feature updates based on community feedback.

All of this is at an incredibly low price.


# More Information:

Galactic is privacy conscious.
I, the developer, do not collect or otherwise access the data you input into the app, including your search history. However, by using the third-party search engines it ships with (such as Bing), you are subject to their privacy policies: hence for honesty and clarity, the app's privacy label on the App Store reflects the search engines it uses.
