NBC has announced that its NBC.com app for iPad now offers fans full episodes — mirroring the online experience.
Additionally, the network’s co-viewing application, the NBC Live app, has upgraded with a number of key new features, including the ability to watch video clips, play games and scroll through photos without ever leaving the app. With these new features the NBC Live app is set to make the broadcasts of “The Office,” “The Sing-Off,” “The Biggest Loser” and “Chuck” unique and interactive experiences.
The announcement was made today by Vivi Zigler, President, NBCUniversal Digital Entertainment.
“We are thrilled to offer our fans full episodes via our NBC.com app. Now the app truly reflects the deep fan experience that we have created online at NBC.com,” said Zigler in the press release. “And our fans are going to love the latest update to the NBC Live app which now offers them more content, better access and a unique social television experience.”
In addition to full episodes, the NBC app for iPad, which launched in June 2011, gives fans access to content from their favorite shows and features such as thousands of video clips and highlights, exclusive photo galleries, recaps, games and news, making it all customizable from the myNBC dashboard.
The NBC Live app is a unique companion-viewing tool that provides a real time social experience where users can engage with fellow fans in a moderated social stream, and interact with exclusive content synced to the on-air broadcast while they watch their favorite shows on television.
The NBC.com app and NBC Live app are available for free from the App Store on iPad here:

If it’s anything like the TNT app then all the better. I’ll give this one a shot also.
Can you watch on your TV or only on the iPad (like the HBO app)?
I don’t think it has AirPlay.
I don’t watch anything on NBC anyway, picked it up since it’s free. Watched a jay Leno show, it breaks it up like hulu does. (commercials) and had issues going back to the next segment.
(watch the first segment, commercial.. Then starts the first segment again..) it did it a few times to me, then started working fine.
I’ll keep it just cause it’s nice to have an option to watch stuff like this.
“The Office,” “The Sing-Off,” “The Biggest Loser” and “Chuck”
Be still, my heart.
