Touchtv Launches TV Clip iPad App


Touchtv, a new free app for the iPad from the developers of the popular news app Skygrid, serves up bite-sized portions of TV, perfect for viewing on a mobile device.

The app aggregates clips from the websites of TV networks like ESPN, Discovery, Comedy Central, ABC, CBS, National Geographic, and Lifetime, allowing users to watch them anytime and in anyplace. 

Skygrid signed deals with these networks that allows the Touchtv app to download video from their websites. Currently, the app only supports short clips of TV shows, which is a great way to catch the best moments in just a few minutes.

Choose your favorite channels, and the app will organize them into an easy-to-browse grid, where a tap will take you to a show clip. This app is clearly geared towards both news sites and sports clips, which are most suited to the short format.

While you could just visit these individual websites on your own, it’s easier to use the app since it pulls videos from a number of channels. Plus, Touchtv supports AirPlay, so clips from the app can be played on your big screen television.

This iPad-only app is currently available for free in the App Store, so it’s worth a look. You may want to download it now, because the company is working on striking deals to get longer content in addition to the clips that it currently shows.

SkyGrid Helps You Keep Current With Your Interests


SkyGrid announced today the availability of SkyGrid 2.0, a fast and powerful app that gives you access to the news you actually care about. This innovative app allows you to specify your interests so that you can ‘follow’ them. Whether you are a music, sports or news fanatic, or you just want to check up on your own business, you can easily review a stream of real-time information on your topic of choice.

When we first reported on SkyGrid 1.0 almost a year ago, we raved about the simple interface and value. Version 2.0 takes this benefit to a new level.


Branding itself as a social messaging platform, SkyGrid connects the conversations being had across hundreds of services including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. This methodology combined with a persistent engine cataloging over one million sources, brings you up to the minute contextual results based purely on you.

Don’t know what you are looking for or what you might be interested in? Use the ‘What’s Hot’ feature to see the top trending topics. Wanting to stay current on something specific? Set an alert or notification to be sure you don’t miss a thing!

Bright photos and fast load time are the icing on the cake, keeping you engaged and invested. Find details on the topics you want, when you want.

The new version of SkyGrid has extended your reach by connecting you with up to date traffic and weather, while allowing you to browse, search and navigate all from a single in-app box.

“It’s not just news, it’s YOUR news.”
