Ottawa (ECN) - The National Film Board of Canada has launched a new iPhone application that allows you to watch hundreds of documentaries, animated films and trailers for free.
Users can download a movie on their iphone or iPod touch and watch it, up until 24 hours later.
Features of the new App include:
*WATCH hundreds of NFB movies on your iPhone. Most of the films avaiable on NFB.ca are encoded for the iPhone. Soon all of them will be available.
*WATCH LATER - We wanted to make an app that was useful even outside of wi-fi hotspots so you can load films to your iPhone for up to 24 hours of offline viewing.
*SEARCH – the NFB collection on your iPhone
*CHANNELS – Browse films by category and genre. (Classic Movies, Kids Cartoons, etc.)
*FAVOURITES – Bookmark your favourite films
*NEARBY - Watch movies that others in your area are watching
