The offer of streaming video services is increasingly wide, however, not all of them offer us the same benefits through the application available for both iPhone and iPad. Both Amazon Prime Video and Netflix allow us not only to select the viewing quality, but also it also allows us to download content for quite some time.
Downloading content to our streaming video service device allows us to continue enjoying our favorite series wherever we are without consuming data. HBO, just updated its app to join this trend and finally allows us to download content to view it without an internet connection.
HBO's offline mode allows us to download up to 25 titles on our device at the same time, content that we can watch without the need for an internet connection. The content available for download includes both series and movies, but not the entire catalog, only specific titles, as in Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. The content that we can download, will display a down arrow and display the text Downloadable.
With this move, HBO catches up with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Now it only needs to allow users to access content in the quality that best suits their needs or devices, something that unfortunately does not seem to be a priority for HBO. The HBO application available on the App Store is one of the worst rated by users of streaming services, with an average rating of 3 out of 5 stars.
HBO, like Netflix It allows us to sign up for your streaming video service directly from our iPhone or iPad, in order to avoid having to give 30% of the monthly fee to Apple, a monthly fee that is priced at 8,99 euros.
