Android App of the Day: Jetflicks


Jetflicks is a company who offer hardware, software and content to airlines for on-board entertainment. "Jetflicks" appears to be their app for streaming video content to your Android phone. It features early and recent seasons (not usually the latest, newest) of a reasonably large number of the most popular, mainly US, TV shows. They are streamed to your phone over WiFi or 3G.

Right now the app costs US$14.95 and that allows you to watch anything you like until the end of 2009. After that they say they will be charging US$4 / month. That seems like a fair price for the content they are offering.


If you've seen all of the episodes of all these shows you probably don't have a life and this app is probably a waste of money. But I have never seen the vast majority of them, or I was busy and missed several seasons on the trot. I liked Heroes, but got too busy after Season 2 to keep up with it.

I bought Jetflicks and it works very well. Unlike apps on various other platforms, this one doesn't seem to care I'm in New Zealand. It lets me see whatever is listed. You must create an account through the app in order to use it.
