Watch NFB Films On Your iPhone For Free
By Veronica Bell on Oct 23, 2009 at 4:18 PM
The NFB (Canadian National Film Board) has released a new app for the iPhone and iPod Touch that allows you to watch most of the hundreds of NFB films in their library, right on your iPhone and all for FREE.
The app includes the ability to search for a certain film, bookmark favourites or even visit channels and search by category of film.
The app also includes a “Watch Later” feature that lets you download the movie to your mobile device now and watch it later, when you might not have such a fast connection or any connection at all. The movies are valid for 24 hours after downloading for offline viewing.
