ABC launches iview app for Android
The ABC has launched its iview app for Android devices.
The announcement:
Today ABC TV unveils a bold new design for iview, to Android tablet and smartphone users first with the launch of the highly anticipated official ABC iview app for Android.
The first version of the Android app ensures Australian audiences never miss a moment of their favourite ABC TV programs, with access to iview on a wider range of portable devices.
The new ABC Iview app for android is most welcome but was beaten to the punch by Aview which, in my opinion, is a superior product.
Aview.apk is much easier to use with its selection categories listed on the right making it much more easier to navigate and drill down to episodes than the many thumbnails confusingly displayed of the “official” app.
In this regards I also much prefer the XBMC Iview addon to the new Iview app.
In my opinion a structured “menu” system is the best way forward.
