App of the Day: TiVo for iPad

TiVo, the popular digital recorder, is every couch potato?s dream. With it, the episodes of your favorite shows can be recorded, perfect for those who have lots of TV time distractions, such as work and friends. Now, with TiVo making its way to the iPad, nothing can get in the way of your TV viewing. Work and other responsibilities cannot stop you from securing the latest episodes of Walking Dead or Mad Men.

The TiVo for the iPad, much like its TV-based predecessor, is used to store TV shows found all over the web. More than that, given the web?s sheer amount of information, you can record streaming files like music videos, YouTube sensations and other awesome things found on the Internet. You can even check out various channel listings and share what you?re watching through your social networking accounts.

This iPad application is not only designed to replicate TiVo, but it can also serve as a compliment for the digital recorder. While watching a TV program, you can use the iPad Tivo to check the biographies and filmographies of the actors and actresses. This is perfect for those who want to stamp their geek supremacy over their buddies.

Another nifty feature is the ability to supply comments and reactions to particular TV shows. Writers of TV shows have their good days and bad days, and those things often translate to one?s favorite and least favorite episodes. You can air your comments for them to shape up and to make other viewers aware.

The TiVo application features smooth navigation, taking full advantage of the iPad?s navigator. Users won?t have a hard time zeroing in on their favorite TV programs, even if they are aired by different networks. The interface, coupled with the iPad touch screen, won?t give you any trouble rummaging through and accessing all of the application?s features. With everything that the TiVo app offers, perhaps the only thing missing is the good old couch.

The TiVo application adds yet another dimension to using your iPad. It pampers everyone?s inner couch potato, conveniently transforming any user into a bonafide TV geek. Just make sure your iPad is running on iOS 3.2 (or up). You can nab this awesome app via this direct iTunes link.
