Hot off the presses, "The Daily Show" app is out, and it's sure to please fans of the show and Jon Stewart. It's also being offered free just for today, so you may want to check it out now!
It's hard telling what the future price of the app might be, but as CNET points out, given The Colbert Report's The Word app will set you back $1.99, perhaps that would clue us in?
Now you're probably wondering what it offers right? Well, you get a shareable quote of the day (and accompanying show segment) for just about the last eight weeks' worth of shows.
If you go and tap the Topics button, you'll get a spinning word cloud (or an alphabetical list depending on if you switch views), with each item venturing off to many clips that are related to that topic. Reportedly, the clips date back to December, 2009, which if you were hoping to catch Indecision 2008, you're out of luck.
Also, all videos are commercial-free, for now. You just get a quick Capital One graphic before a clip.
The Schedule option lists upcoming guests for the next few days, and at what times each episode will re-air on Comedy Central the next day. You can also set reminders (15, 30, or 60 minutes) for any of the airings.
And last? The Tweets button, which gives you all #TheDaily Show and #JonStewart hashtags, but also tweets for the show and its four correspondents.
Alas though, there is something missing. Full episodes. Sure, you get access to full segments, but it would also be nice to watch an episode from the beginning. Perhaps we'll see that in the first app update?
In the meantime, be sure to check it out while it's still free!
