I just tried it and there’s nothing worth watching. Their entire catalog seems to consist of MKR, H&A & Sunrise.
Where’s the drama like Downton & Revenge like on their web version? Or the 7mate & 7two programing? Hopefully they are slowly syncing the two platforms because as it is it’s not worth downloading.
I did have this available on my Panasonic Smart tv purchased last year however there had been a message saying the service was ending soon. Not that I actually used it though.
Its quite frustrating that there isn’t one place where all of the Networks catch up services are accessible, besides on a computer.
At least in the US they have Hulu which is pretty much available on every device
So when will the 7news app be available to other Android phones and tablets?
lol this is becoming a joke not available for my Samsung Galaxy S2 I think now I know why people stick to that other channel in the cloud 😉
Compatible with Galaxy tablets but not iPad!
That’s strange – it’s been available on my TV (2012 Samsung Smart Plasma) for a few weeks now.
Sure, they usually do announcements once everything is in place.
It’s almost worthless since they limit the content on PS3/TV apps compared with the website.
Woop de doo, theres hardly anything on there worth watching. It’s not a proper catch up service like. Foxtel or abc.
