iPad Free App of the Week: Crackle
Watch movies and television shows on your iPad with this free app put out by Sony.
It also works for the iPhone and iPod Touch offering hundreds of TV and movie titles for free viewing on-demand with ads.
Crackle’s content includes movies from Columbia Pictures, TriStar Pictures, Screen Gems and Sony Pictures Classics, all Sony-owned labels. The site competes with Hulu, owned in part by NBC Universal, Fox and Disney.
The movies and TV shows at Crackle are uncut, though they are interrupted for quick commercial breaks that cannot be fast-forwarded.
Some of the content the site was featuring prominently on its Web site Monday included the TV showsSeinfeld and Married … With Children and the movies 21, The Last Picture Show, Flatliners and The Da Vinci Code.
The ads aren't that intrusive and I can live with them. New content is supoosed to be added weekly. So far I like it.
