FOX NOW for iPad app review

FOX NOW

Price: Free

FOX NOW by FOX Broadcasting Company gives you a way to catch up on your favorite FOX shows even if you aren't at home.

Just because you aren’t home to see the latest episode of your favorite television show doesn’t mean you have to miss out. With this app for your iPad you can still view full episodes as well as other features.

What's really cool about the app is its interactive features such as the conversation that is always happening. You can have the FOX NOW open while you watch live TV and follow along with streams from the crew, cast, and fans of the show, and the official Twitter stream. This is a way to share your thoughts during the show and read views from other fans. Discuss storylines, plot twists, and news about the show.

For an immersive feeling you can SYNC with a variety of shows. What this does is give you bonus content that is tied directly to certain scenes. Some of the show that offer this option are New Girl, Bones, Glee, The Mindy Project, and American Dad.

Keep in mind if you plan on viewing live episodes it is free for participating TV provider customers, which are Mediacom, AT&T U-Verse, and Verizon FiOS. New ones are always being added to the list.

The interactive features of the app make it a really fun and cool way to watch your favorite programs. However the fact that full episodes are only available to subscribers of the supported providers is a big downfall.

For: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation), and iPad with iOS 5.0 or later
