According to Apple's System Status website, the App Store, the Apple TV, Apple Music, and the Mac App Store are currently experiencing service issues.

Many Apple customers have also been complaining of App Store issues on Twitter, Reddit, and other social networks. Affected customers are unable to download apps and in some cases, can't load the App Store at all.

Service interruptions have been ongoing since approximately 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time and there's no word on when service will be fully restored.

The issues could potentially be related to the release of Super Mario Run and the strain that it is causing on the App Store due to its popularity.

Man am I glad I opted for the Amazon Firestick instead of Apple TV. Seems Apple just has too many issues these days.

I thought that was usually the case but I thought I read something about them restricting it somehow because it's more like buying in-game currency than unlocking it. The way it was setup and the higher price made me hesitant.
I completely agree. I was a little nervous as well because of no "restore purchase" button. But if it charged me 2 times for my two devices with my same AppleID, I would have contacted Apple Support for a refund. If you own two Nintendo systems you don't have to buy the disk twice. So I'm glad its not treated as currency but as an actual unlocking of something, like removing adds.
