Planet of the Apps is an American reality television show broadcast on Apple Music (predating the 2019 launch of Apple TV+). It was the first original television show produced by Apple. On July 23, 2018, it was announced that Apple had canceled the series after one season.[1]

Episode style

On each of the episodes, software makers have 60 seconds to pitch their idea in front of the advisors (Jessica Alba, Gwyneth Paltrow, will.i.am and Gary Vaynerchuk) on a slow-moving escalator—for a visual idea of an "elevator pitch". New episodes were released on Tuesdays, with the first season being 10 episodes long.[2] The series is hosted by Zane Lowe and produced by Ben Silverman.[3] The series premiered on June 6, 2017.[4][5]

Reception

The Guardian found the show "boring and self-indulgent," "painful," "a sort of vicarious embarrassment," and "grating."[6]

  • SILO – Focus and Study Timer
  • Companion: Mobile Personal Safety
