    Apple would charge Vudu 30% for selling media through the vudu IOS App!

    Wow, I was just reading some of the App reviews in the App store, and there are some uninformed people out there.

    Anyone who regularly reads any tech blogs should know that apple imposes a restriction on companies selling media through their apps on IOS devices, unless they are willing to pay a 30% premium to Apple. To do that, VUDU would have to significantly increase prices for their movies.

    You can't purchase media through an app for the following:

    Books from Kindle
    Movies from Vudu, CinemaNow, Amazon Instant, or others
    Music from Amazon, Google Play, and others.

    Vudu, please add something about this to your description on the app store.

    Add something about what? Something the app can't do? The app doesn't come with juggling monkeys, either. There'd be no end to a list of what the app doesn't do.

      What? Nobody would expect the app to come with juggling monkeys. Some people do however, expect to be able to purchase movies.

        The app called "Vudu Player" plays Vudu content. I don't see why your disclaimer is necessary. I wasn't bothered by the fact that I had to open up my browser to buy or rent content. But for those that it does infuriate, they can simply delete the free app and be no worse off than they were without the app. Oh, and no animals were harmed in the composition of this post, in case that doesn't go without saying.

          The funny thing is, even with a description that specifically mentions what you can/can't do, users tend to be oblivious.

          I do work in my free time handling report tickets sent in by users of a suite of movie collection apps, and the first line of the app description reads "Important Notice! This application is for managing a movie collection library. You can not download or watch movies with it." And yet, we get plenty of stupid users complaining in Play and iTunes reviews and in our report tickets that they were scammed, or can only find the trailer but no download link for the movie.

                      +1,000. Perhaps it's because I have one lowly iOS device amidst a bunch of Androids, but it seems obvious to me that calling the iOS app "Vudu Player" -- a name not used for other Vudu apps with buy buttons, including Android -- says it all. It would be rotten apples (pun intended) for Vudu to have to explain its business reasons.

                        Will we have to have a WiFi or cellular connection or can we use them off line?

                          Sorry, I'm not sure that feature is going to make it in. Apparently someone beat us to it, and the world may not be big enough for two juggling monkey apps.

                            Well isn't that a hoot!! Apple would take a cut of your profits if you sold through your app, and you're pushing apps from their App Store!! 🐵🎾🎾🎾🐵
