Launching a Now TV app for Windows Phone would be great.

Please hear me out!

 

I tried NowTV before on my laptop and I loved it! It is updated with new films faster than Netflix or LoveFilm could (Had subscriptions with them before I discovered NowTV.). I watched it all on my laptop as that is the only device compatible with NowTV but I am now on thr stage where I am not using my laptop ad I could do most activities I do with my Windows Phone 8. Not only that, but I am missing out movies when I am on the go! I have been away on a summer camp for a week and that meant no NowTV.

 

My subscription has now ended with NowTV and I will be more than willing to renew my subscription with you if you add a Windows Phone 8. I really miss watching movies from you but if that means opening my laptop and sometimes missing out when I am on the go then I am not making use of my subscription to the best that I can.

 

Not to,mention, most hardware of Windows Phone 8 includes HD display. Mine does (Nokia Lumia 925) and therefore this app would not only be beneficial for me when I am on the go but means videos don't have to be down-sized when it comes to quality.

 

Please accept this suggestion. Thank you.

I agree.

Although I enjoy the service, I can't see myself renewing without a Windows Phone and a Windows 8 dedicated app

How can it be under consideration? It is already available on windows 8, whats to consider by moving it across to windows phone? Do you really think that Microsoft are going to give up on their windows phones any time soon!!!

Hi Ord,

 

As a Windows Phone user myself, I'd love to see a NOW TV app too, but it isn't as simple as "moving it across" from Windows 8. 

 

NOW TV on Windows 8 uses Microsoft Silverlight to play movies and sports through the internet browser- the same kind of setup isn't possible on mobile devices, and so a dedicated app would have to be developed.

 

We're adding new devices to the service regularly, but can't be available everywhere right away. Sorry for the inconvenience this causes you,

 

Tom

It's been almost a year since the windows 8 platform launched. It would be really good to see apps appear that are designed for windows phone 8 and the windows 8 /RT platform. The folk at Microsoft have done a good job, so help them give apple a run for their money!<br><br>Build it, and they will come....

I feel like im living in the past. Netflix have an app out but im limited to using now tv on my xbox and not on my portable device.. I feel now tv should be doing more to supply the growing demand of windows phone users with what they ask for within a timely manner. All i know is its under consideration. Cheers mr mutli million pound business!!!

  @Anonymous User Isn't Now TV using HTML5? I know both Win 8 & Win Phone both great support for HTML5, regardless, is there any update on apps for Windows Phone or Windows 8?
