You should probably opt out of some nosy viewing data sharing. When you first set up your account, you might have clicked through a few things that gave Movies Anywhere permission to share a bunch of your data and viewing habits with its video partners and film studios.
You can actually go back and uncheck those by going to More and Video Data Sharing. Disney notes that it will end up sharing some info with partners regardless, but at least you can limit the amount.

Linkedin Reddit Pocket Flipboard Email. That means you can, for instance, get access to movies you bought on iTunes through non-Apple devices such as Roku players and Android phones , at no additional cost. That list is fairly comprehensive, with very few missing movie stores. That means you can shop at any of the stores above and get the price or format you want, regardless of which device or app you want to use to play back the movie.
Movies Anywhere has some major studios on board, but it doesn't have everyone. You may not see some independent movies supported, either. That said, Movies Anywhere is designed as an open platform, so any studio not currently on board can theoretically join later, once licensing details are ironed out.
Movies Anywhere is essentially a front end for your film library. If you see a film you want to buy on the Movies Anywhere service, clicking the buy option will bring up a pop-up showing you which vendors have the video.
Pricing information is not displayed, however, nor does the pop-up mention if a 4K version is available at any of the services. You'll have to click through to see which is the best for you. If you have a digital code, typically an insert inside a DVD, Blu-ray or 4K Blu-ray case, you can redeem it at Movies Anywhere to add it to your personal digital library. Just hit the "Redeem" button at the top of the site to get started. It also works on all major web browsers on Windows PCs and Macs.

But that doesn't mean the game consoles are left out in the cold -- see below. As long as the movie is from one of the participating studios, the answer is an emphatic "yes" -- we've done it. The beauty of Movies Anywhere is that you never need to use the Movies Anywhere app after initially setting up your account.
So, for instance, Xbox and PlayStation users can access all Movies Anywhere-compatible movies within the Vudu or Amazon apps on those consoles, even if they were originally purchased on iTunes.
And you can watch many of your Amazon purchases in iTunes, too. Of course, the recent announcement that AirPlay 2 is coming to many TVs along with a full-on iTunes app for Samsung TVs means that iTunes will finally be less of an island.
But Movies Anywhere works now -- no need to wait for those new products.
