Video app Showyou rolled out an update today aimed at turning iPads into better remote controls for Apple TV.
The social network dedicated to video watching now allows users to multitask on their iPads even when they're streaming a movie to Apple TV.
This means users can hit play on a movie using their iPad as a remote, then leave the app to check social media or email as the iPad streams the movie to Apple TV. Apple's devices already have this functionality -- the company incorporated multitasking into its streaming service last year with iOS 5 -- but this makes the iPad a more useful remote control.
Showyou CEO Mark Hall admits that this may seem like a tiny change. But he said the functionality makes a big difference for the viewing experience, and that's what Showyou is trying to improve.
