MUMBAI: US broadcaster NBC has announced that its NBC.com app for iPad now offers fans full episodes -- mirroring the online experience.

Additionally, the network‘s co-viewing application, the NBC Live app, has upgraded with a number of key new features, including the ability to watch video clips, play games and scroll through photos without ever leaving the app.

With these new features the NBC Live app is set to make the broadcasts of ‘The Office‘, ‘The Sing-Off‘, ‘The Biggest Loser‘ and ‘Chuck‘ interactive experiences.

NBCUniversal Digital Entertainment president Vivi Zigler said, "We are thrilled to offer our fans full episodes via our NBC.com app. Now the app truly reflects the deep fan experience that we have created online at NBC.com. And our fans are going to love the latest update to the NBC Live app which now offers them more content, better access and a unique social television experience."

In addition to full episodes, the NBC app for iPad, which launched in June 2011, gives fans access to content from their favourite shows and features such as thousands of video clips and highlights, exclusive photo galleries, recaps, games and news, making it all customizable from the myNBC dashboard.

The NBC Live app is a companion-viewing tool that provides a real time social experience where users can engage with fellow fans in a moderated social stream, and interact with exclusive content synced to the on-air broadcast while they watch their favourite shows on television.
