iphone-app_blanc_horizontal1

NFB released a free new NFB iPhone app yesterday. The app lets you watch hundreds of animated films and documentaries from NFB.ca, streaming, on your iPhone or iPod touch.

They also built in a “Watch Later” feature that lets you load films on your iPhone for up to 24 hours so you can watch them offline. Hopefully that will come in handy on subways and planes and other WiFi deserts.

The app is free and you can download it from iTunes.

Also, if you have time, please let them know what you think about the app – any features you’d like us to add / fix. Send us an email at webmaster@nfb.ca. Thanks!
