App Description


Frequency gives you a single place to watch all the video you care about. Instead of going to all your favorite websites, social networks, blogs and apps to watch internet videos, Frequency finds and organizes tens of millions of videos from across the internet into a few personalized channels - just for you.

★ Watch the Internet ★
With Frequency - selected as App Store ‘Editor’s Choice’ - you can watch video for free from all your favorite online sources across dozens of categories: news, comedy, entertainment, food, fashion, health, movies, music, sports, technology and much more. The simple interface and continuously playing video streams are perfect for “lean back” viewing on your iPad, iPhone or TV using AirPlay.

Frequency also turns your Facebook, Twitter and YouTube feeds into personal streaming video channels so you watch all the videos your friends are sharing.

You can create your own channel lineup from the thousands of choices in the Channel Guide and add them to your personal video Tuner. You can access your Tuner from anywhere – on your computer, iPad, iPhone or on your Apple TV using AirPlay.

With the free Frequency video app, you get:

• All The Best Videos, Personalized for You
• The Most Channels -- choose from 1,000s of the highest quality video channels
• Current News & Events -- breaking news, people and topics that are trending right now
• Social Media Channels -- Watch all the videos your friends are sharing on Facebook, Twitter & YouTube in a continuous-play stream
• Full Screen -- go full screen at any time, up to 1080p High Definition
• AirPlay -- use AirPlay to watch your favorite videos and channels directly on any TV with Apple TV

★★★ Mashable says: "Frequency’s interface is slick, and creating video channels from sites like Discovery Networks and Wall Street Journal is a better deal than cable." ★★★

Frequency is perfect for watching internet videos for free. Get real-time news, indie movies, episodic video series, TV highlights, web-based TV shows, movie trailers, video clips, sports highlights, YouTube videos, and music videos. If you are looking for free feature-length movies and free network TV shows, you will want to download those directly from iTunes.

Helpful Frequency Tips:
* Try it - you’ll love this free 5-Star app!
* Video quality is adjustable in your Settings. Streaming video generally requires a high-speed internet connection or 4G cellular connection for smooth playback.
* When in full screen, use your finger to flick to the next or previous video
* Full 1080p HD video is available on many channels
* Frequency is optimized for the larger screen on iPhone 5, and is amazing on iPad and iPad Mini.
