I bought the film MIDSOMMAR through my new Roku Apple TV+ app. It's supposed to come with iTunes Extras. But I can't find extras anywhere within that Roku TV+ app, nor can I find them through the iPhone TV app. How do I access extra features anyway? Am I just missing this?
 
Hi Buddy!
Just checked in the UK iTunes Store and sadly, this film does not have iTunes Extras on it!

Quite rare for a new film to not have iTunes Extras and SUPER LAZY of the film company / distributor. I always feel cheated if I buy a film and it doesn't have iTunes Extras especially when it's a great film and you know the iTunes Extras would be great for it - 'Paris can wait' from SPC being a really good example along with 'Berlin I Love You'.
Another example was Capernaum. No iTunes Extras here in the UK and yet the US store had Extras but in the US it had the original SPC distribution whereas in the UK iTunes store, it is a different distributor. Very bizarre.

Luckily most films do have iTunes Extras AND i've has iTunes Extras added to purchases from many years ago just recently 'Footloose' being an example.

It's easy to see them on the iPhone as the menu bar appears at the bottom one the screen.
 
It definitely has them in the U.S. - I ended up locating them on my phone. However, the Roku app doesn't seem to support iTunes Extras (yet?) - which is frustrating to say the least.

Glad you got it sorted.
Don't expect much from the Roku app - it's just that. A very very basic Apple TV+ app. It does not in any way replace the true Apple TV.

My advice also is be very very careful giving your Apple I.D. to any platform outside of Apple. For many people, the Apple I.D. controls everything from your Mac to iPhone to iPad to contacts to passwords to your credit card details. Under no circumstance would I allow my Apple I.D. to be used on anything other than Apple. The fact that people are now using their Apple I.D. on poorly implemented Amazon Fire sticks is plain crazy or ignorance on the part of the customer.
When a product is cheap, there's always a reason behind it!
