New in Version 2.100
- Now available on iPad
Switch TV ON is now available not only on iPhone, but also on iPad.
Your favorites and watchlists are automatically synced via iCloud — provided iCloud Sync is enabled on all devices.
Our recommendation: First install version 2.1 on your iPhone and launch the app once so all data can be synced to iCloud.
After that, install the new version on your iPad. Depending on the size of your data, the initial synchronization may take some time. The app is ready to use immediately, but minor delays during the first launch are possible.
- Improved Quiz Mode
The quiz flow has been simplified and made more transparent.
In addition, the scoring system in the leaderboard is now standardized and clearer.
- Faster access to your watchlist archive
You now have direct access to the watchlist archive, making it easier and quicker to find saved content.
Enjoy the new version of Switch TV ON!
