Having not updated either my phone or TV, both apps remain on my iPhone and Apple TV and seem to be fully functional. As of just now, it seems that anyone who has the app already installed should still be able to use it. The range of Twitter reports suggest this is a global issue, with reports the app is no longer available on the App Store in the UK, US, Germany and several other countries.
