It took a while, but a new version of Be Tv has been sent to Apple for review. Be Tv has been available in the Belgian App Store for 6 months, nearing 30.000 downloads. Version 1.3 adds – as lots of people have requested – detailed program information, a freshened up interface & a few minor improvements. Nothing groundbreaking but a normal evolution. Here’s a small sneak preview:
All programs have a genre & most of them have extra information like a short comment and/or a long summary. Movies have a list of the main actors and series the episode name. There is however one huge issue which might be a showstopper for non-dutch speaking users. The extra information is in dutch, even when the interface is set to english or french. We unfortunately do not have access to translated info.
One of the small improvements is how long program titles are displayed. Long titles are cut off in version 1.2 & some of them are – even with holding the device sideways – not readable. Long titles are displayed over 2 lines in version 1.3, greatly improving the readability. Nothing earth shattering, but as said before a logical improvement.
Having said that, I think we’ve given a nice preview of version 1.3. As soon as the upgrade shows up in the App Store, I’ll post it on the blog & Twitter. One final word, for those wondering, Be Tv remains a free program.
Nice, can’t wait to update!
