14 DAY TRIAL // One thing that mobile devices are used for over and over again is video streaming. Since people love to watch videos on their mobile devices, US carrier giant Verizon wants to get a piece of the action too.
After announcing last month that they were looking to launch a free service soon, Big Red has just announced this week that the new go90 video app is available for download and use on Android smartphones and tablets. The service is said to be available even to non-Verizon subscribers, but content will be offered with limitations.
The app is called go90 because of our tendency of rotating our phones 90 degrees while watching videos, although there are still many people who like to shoot videos vertically.
The app displays various video content and channels within the app, which have been shared or created by users you follow. Verizon also says that some celebrities will be making content for the app in the near future, but they haven’t released any names so far.
Go90 also lets you create “Crews,” which is basically a group where you can share content regularly with your friends and family. The particularity of this app is that you can “cut and share” video clips, meaning that from inside the app, you can share out to text (SMS), email, Facebook and Twitter.
The app has been released for Android (and iOS) and is already available for download from the Google Play store. However, don’t try and search for “go90” because you won’t find anything. Try “go90tm” to make it pop up.
