GetGlue Entertainment App for iPhone Releases New Version for Fall TV

New Features Include TV & Streaming Guide, and Remote Control for

DIRECTV Subscribers

GetGlue, your app for TV and movies, today debuted its updated iPhone

app just in time for fall TV, making your watching experience simpler

and more enjoyable. GetGlue’s new features include a TV and streaming

Guide plus remote control for DIRECTV subscribers.

“The way people watch TV is changing. What is not changing is people’s

love for great storytelling and engaging content,” said Alex Iskold,

founder and CEO of GetGlue. “The new GetGlue for iPhone has been

designed from the ground up for the modern viewer. It is one simple app

to discover, watch, keep up with and discuss their favorite shows.”

Major features include:

• What to Watch: Find What to Watch right now on TV, on streaming
  
  and in theaters using the fully redesigned guide. In addition to what
  
  is on TV, the guide includes new movies and shows from On Demand,
  
  Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, iTunes, HBO GO, CBS, FOX, FX, AMC
  
  and a dozen more streaming services and apps. Another exciting feature
  
  is the remote control for DIRECTV. Users can connect their GetGlue app
  
  with their DIRECTV box to change the channel right from the On TV Now
  
  section in the guide.


• New Search & Discover: The new “Search & Discover” allows
  
  users to indulge their TV mood. Browse by genre or pick from “Fun
  
  Lists” curated by GetGlue’s editorial team. Choose a show to “Binge
  
  Watch,” select a movie from “Date Night” or just go straight to the
  
  “Latest & Greatest.” The “Want to Watch” feature helps you track your
  
  watch list and get reminders for new episodes, seasons on streaming
  
  and theatrical and VOD releases for movies.


• Updated Show Pages: Updated show pages include Summary, Feed
  
  and Watch tabs. By default, the Feed tab shows you updates from your
  
  friends and what is trending right now. Use the new filters to see
  
  videos, photos or live comments from other fans. Connect your Twitter
  
  account to get Tweets from friends about your favorite shows. We’ve
  
  also added episode information so you can find upcoming air dates,
  
  track the newest episodes available on streaming and revisit past
  
  episodes.


• Posting memes, gifs, videos and more: In addition to commenting
  
  on shows, users can now add memes, gifs, videos or news articles to
  
  any of their posts. GetGlue’s content curators select the best fan
  
  posts and feature them on show pages for the entire community to enjoy.

The GetGlue App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone or at www.AppStore.com/GetGlue.
