Google has been bringing more and more of its services to iOS over the years, and a new one just launched today: users can now play back movies and TV shows they've purchased from Google Play on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Design-wise, it's very reminiscent of the Google Play web store and is fairly similar to the Android app, but unfortunately there are some pretty serious compromises in this new app. Other Google Play apps for iOS like music and books also don't offer a store, and Amazon's apps similarly don't let you buy media. There's also no way to watched rented content — only purchased movies and TV are supported.
