More and more we're seeing ourselves using TV as a split medium. When we sit and watch our favourite shows we're also on our laptops, tablets and phones. Whilst it's nice to see what your friends are saying about your favourite shows on Facebook and Twitter, there are a number of apps out there that aim to enhance your viewing experience. Here is what we think are the top 5 TV apps on the market:
1.Getglue.
This is an app that aims to get you talking about your favourite shows. Simply connect the app with your Facebook account, search for whatever show you're watching and check in. Leave your thoughts and see what others around world think of your opinion.
2.TV Guide.
With a title as simple as this you don't need to know much else, but this app has more functions than you'd expect. You can watch live anywhere, set reminders for yourself and if you've an internet TV you can use it as a remote.
3.Crackle.
It's a surprisingly little app that offers unrivalled content. The Sony owned service lets you watch hundreds of their old movies and shows for free, as well as offering their own new content. We recommend watching Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.
4.Zeebox.
Like the idea of watching TV with all your mates round, but not bothered to have them over? Then Zeebox could be for you. You can see what your friends are planning to watch and make your own chat rooms with anyone to talk about your currently watching. Our favourite feature of it is if you see something on TV you want to buy, Zeebox can link you to the appropriate site.
5.Miso.
If you like turning your viewing experience in to a game, then Miso could be for you. Every time you're watching something, you're rewarded with badges and points depending on how often you do it. And if you like to feel educated, the app also gives you trivia to look out for while you watch.
