The app can be downloaded for free from iTunes and the Play Store, and it is supported by mobile and video ads, but you can pay $3 for the HD version which gets rid of mobile ads but keeps some video ads. Flipps is not a new service, as it has recently announced that it had registered its 10 millionth app download. The free movie services includes the following Crackle, Osiris Entertainment, and Kit Parker Films, containing some feature titles like The Mermaids of Tiburon, The Slime People, and The Bride and the Beast. Besides movies, you will be able to find plenty of music video channels, mainstream news like CNN, New York Times, BBC; old cartoons, educational programs like National Geographic, NASA; lifestyle content like Glamour, Cosmo, Maxim and fitness shows. However, sports fans will be disappointed as it lacks content from NFL and Major League Baseball. At least for now. To get the most of this service, Dan Tynan from Yahoo Tech publication suggests to go for the HD version and choose a Wibi.tv subscription for about $50 a year to watch amazing content just about anywhere. At the moment, besides Android and iOS devices, Flipps supports the following players: Internet-connected TVs by Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, LG & Philips and XBox 360, Xbox One, DISH Hopper, Apple TV. I have a feeling that we’ll be seeing more and more of similar services like this one, as consumers will want to get rid of pay-TV providers, or at least they will want to take the content anywhere they go.
