14 DAY TRIAL // Hulu LLC is really excited about its latest updates on the iOS front. They’ve launched a new version of the Hulu Plus iOS app and iPad users will find tons of goodies inside.
You can now minimize a video during playback (tap the minimize icon or “pinch” the video) and it will continue to run at the bottom of the screen as you go about your business searching for other stuff.
If you tap on an image of any episode, show, or season, the app will now give you a bird’s eye view of what’s inside using the new discovery panel.
“Have fun casually exploring old episodes within a season or learning more about a new show with as little effort as possible,” says the company. To watch something, simply double tap any image.
When you update to version 3.0 you’ll also find editorially curated shows, clips, and movies, and a whole range of other cool things that are just dying to be tried out.
“We've made sure to keep all of your favorite features intact, including the popular Kids Lock (iPad-only) which limits the app to ad-free, safe and enjoyable content from our selection of Kids programming,” says Hulu.
