Download GParted and run it from USB flash drive. I did it from VirtualBox though and it worked perfectly.

Virtual box is a pain. I guess I'll wait until different images are made to reflect actual storage space.

You don't have to use VB [it is really easy though and I would say faster]. You can use GParted live from usb drive. Boot from it and resize. Both solutions take up to 5 min.

I tried the VB before when burning sd cards, it took up a lot of space and and I wouldn't use it enough for it to be worth the time. Maybe I'm lazy and making excuses, but that was my experience the first time.
I'd be better off reviving one of the many dead windows laptops in the closet and using it to assist with pine os related things.

I'm trying to use GParted on my windows machine, but I have no clue what I'm doing. I tried burning a bootable to a flashdrive, but I don't think I'm doing something right

Use UNetbootin from http://unetbootin.github.io/ to write GParted iso image onto a flash drive. It's very simple.

Probably one of the upcoming releases will automatically create partition with data.

That would be wonderful.

It took me awhile to learn how to use gparted using windows, but wasn't bad. I created a bootable DVD disk with gparted on it and used that to increase the size o f the SD card. It was a pain in the butt, by having to leave windows to get into the gparted software.
Then it dawned on me to use my Ubuntu OS to run gparted. I already have an external card reader, so I just connected it to one of the USB ports on my Pine. I ran the gparted app right from Ubuntu and resized my Android SD partition. Very easy, even for a dummy like me.

With the help of Monochrome, I managed to use GParted on the Macbook and successfully resized the 4th partition. I had issues at first with GParted not being able to manipulate the SD card at all. It turns out that the problem was that I used Apple Pi Baker to burn the Android TV img. After using another sd card and burning with RasPlex, I was able to resize the 4th partition to the full capacity using GParted. I love Monochrome for his/her help.
Now the problem is that I cannot for the life of me remember how I got Netflix installed last night. Maybe I was dreaming???
Well, I still don't know what I did last night, but loading the Netflix apk onto a flash drive and then installing through ES File Explorer did the trick.
