Official iPhone App Discussion and Support Thread

[Patrick]

Greetings,

As you may have heard, we recently released an application for the iPhone and iPod touch. This app allows you to browse and search the VUDU movie catalog from anywhere you have an Internet connection with your device. Once viewing the details for a movie, you can rent or purcahse that movie and it will be downloaded to your VUDU Box automatically. So, if you remember that movie you've intended to watch forever, you can rent it while it's fresh in your mind, regardless of how far you are from your VUDU box or computer. Another great use is renting HDX titles in advance of your desired viewing time



Please use this thread for discussion of the application and for support.

Awesome! What about those of us with Android phones (i.e. the G1)? Any plans in the works there?

Nothing at this time, though we could revisit in the future.

This app is huge. I think that the amount of HDX movies I/everyone will watch will dramatically increase now that I/everyone can order from anywhere.

The interface is nice, ordering is simple. Well done.

I think Vudu should promote the heck out of this.

I asked in another thread... but is this also the case for Smartphones running Windows Mobile?

One gripe, which is a gripe about the Vudu interface as well. Why are movies listed in the HDX section if they are not currently available as HDX? If I am looking in the HDX section, I want to see movies which are AVAILABLE in HDX, not that may become available one day. Maybe move those to a coming soon section.

I'd REALLY like to be able to flip through movies without going back to the title list. For example, if I'm looking at the list of HDX movies:

Appaloosa
Wanted
Mirrors (Unrated)
etc

...I'd like to be able to tap on Appaloosa to see the poster and plot summary, then from there, "flick" to the left to go to the details page of Wanted, then to the details page of Mirrors, etc. I won't recognize many titles just from the plain-text title, so I'd like to be able to flip through whatever category I'm in. I don't care if there's an indicator to tell me which movie title is next, I just want to be able to flip quickly through all 99 for 99 or HDX titles.

If VUDU goes under who supports the app?

What about us folks with Blackberries??? We would love to have an app for Vudu on our BBerry..
