Back in October, we reported that PBS redesigned their website with an online player, and a new iPad app. They also said an iPhone and iPod Touch app were coming in Novem… well, January to be exact. PBS has finally announced the iPhone and iPod touch version of their iPad app. It looks great and it’s (you guessed it) free. Just like the iPad counterpart, you can watch full-length PBS productions wherever you are. It features over 300 videos: full length episodes, segments and previews with new content updated every day.
- PBS primetime programs: Antiques Roadshow, Frontline, History Detectives, Masterpiece, Nature, Need to Know, Nova, Secrets of the Dead, and more.
- PBS NewsHour segments.
- Austin City Limits song performances.
- Special clips and full-length episodes from the PBS special CIRCUS.
- Original online series, including Nova ScienceNOW’s “Secret Life of Scientists” and “FutureStates” from INDEPENDENT LENS.
Some key features:
- Create reminders for favorite shows in your iCal calendar app.
- Quick access to TV times and channels for your favorite PBS programs.
- See what’s on your local PBS station and what’s coming soon.
- Learn more about PBS programs and specific episodes.
- Bookmark favorite programs and episodes for easy retrieval.
- Share videos with friends on Facebook, Twitter and email.
- Purchase episodes and seasons that you’d like to own.
PBS developed the iOS apps with Bottle Rocket Apps, which already has the Antiques Roadshow game app. If you’re addicted to PBS or just like some of their shows (like Circus), check it out! The iPhone version of PBS is available now. Get it here.
