Looking for your favorite movie or TV show online but not sure where to find it? Verizon's Viewdini can pull that rabbit out of the hat.
Previously available as a mobile app for Android only, Viewdini recently made its debut on Apple's iOS platform. Through the free app, you can search for any movie or TV show. In return, Viewdini points you to Web sites where you can watch, rent, or buy the content.
The sites include the usual names, such as Netflix, iTunes, and Hulu Plus. But Viewdini also covers ABC, Crackle, Funny or Die, Vimeo, and Verizon's own FiOS on demand video service, according to the carrier, which promises more sites to come. Tapping on the link to one of the sites takes you directly to the source.
For example, I have a Netflix subscription. Tapping on the Netflix link fired up the Netflix app and immediately starting playing the video I chose. Tapping on the iTunes link took me to the iTunes store where I could buy the video. And the Hulu Plus link launched the Hulu Plus app.
