What's new in the categories of the App Store of the new Apple TV

The new Apple TV It is quite an entertainment machine and since it was launched it has done nothing but reap successes. Those successes are preceded by the existence of an application store that has arrived with the new tvOS system, an adaptation of the iOS 9 system for the new Apple TV. 

However, all of us who have Apple TV run into the difficulty that exists when it comes to finding applications in that App Store that still has to be greatly improved. We say what we say because when we turned on the new Apple TV and accessed its main screen, when we started to search for applications we found that there were only two categories in which to search, games and entertainment.

It is clear that a new application store will be better the more time goes by and it is surely that from Cupertino they work against the clock so that the Apple TV App Store is as useful as possible. For this reason, we have learned that certain US users have realized that their Apple TV are beginning to show new categories and with them more applications to enjoy in our little black boxes. 

To be more specific, up to seven different categories have been seen, among which we can list NewsSports, EducationHealth & Fitness & Lifestyle, in addition to the two that already existed from the beginning. However, something strange is happening and that is that these seven categories are not appearing by default to all users, but different categories appear for each user.

Regarding this issue we do not know if Apple is adding categories automatically and hidden from the user little by little or if they appear as the Apple TV is going to learn about our tastes. Another possibility is that they are being rolled out little by little while waiting for a tvOS update. Whatever it is that is clear is that Apple is working very hard now to have a very powerful App Store for the Apple TV because at the end of the day this will be what gives this new product success.

Specifically, I still do not get the possibility of searching by categories in the interface.
