ABC Family Comes To The iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
March 6, 2012
Good news, fans of ABC Family! Now you can watch your favorite shows on the go. The new free, universal app contains a selection of episodes you can watch right on your iDevice. It contains a schedule of upcoming shows so you know when new episodes will be airing.
The following shows are included in the app: "Jane By Design," "Make It Or Break It," "Pretty Little Liars," "Switched At Birth," "The Lying Game," and "The Secret Life Of The American Teenager."
I did notice that some shows offer far more episodes to watch than others. As with many TV channel apps, only selected episodes are offered. "Jane By Design," for example, has the first five episodes available, plus the ninth, which expires today. "Pretty Little Liars" has only one episode available. It's the one that aired last night, and it expires in six days. "Make It Or Break It," on the other hand, has 20 episodes for Season One and 20 for Season Two. I don't watch the show, but that does appear to be two complete seasons.
Tap the "Featured" icon at the bottom of the screen to see episodes sorted by "Popular," "Recent," or "Staff Picks." The "Me" icon will bring up your viewing history.
Of course, as with all of the other TV apps I've used, the episodes do contain ads. Still, if you are a fan of any of the above ABC Family shows, this app is worth the download!
