Sky Movies app Launched for iPhone and iPad

LONDON, November 8, 2011 -

Sky today unveils a free Sky Movies app for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad which offers Sky TV customers a quick and easy way to find the movies they love.

The new app brings users up-to-the-minute information about Sky Movies, Sky Movies Box Office and the latest cinema releases, listing movies via thumbnails or full page view, enabling Sky Movies customers to get even more value for their subscription.

Each full page view of films currently available on Sky Movies includes a review of the film and an option to Remote Record the movie to your Sky HD box to watch later or link to the Sky Go app to watch it live. The Sky Movies app offers top picks of the day for Sky Movies content as well as information about what’s coming up on the service within the next week and next month. Movie trailers and reviews can also be found on the app and an Android version will be available early next year.

Ian Lewis, Director of Sky Movies said, “We are really pleased to be able to add the Sky Movies app to our already strong offering of iPad and iPhone apps. Combined with the Sky+ and Sky Go apps, customers now have even more ways to discover and enjoy the films they want to watch, either at home or on the move. We continually strive to give our customers the best possible movie service and this is just one additional feature out of many we have planned for Sky Movies over the coming months.”
