Despite a
bankruptcy filing in 2010 and an acquisition by Dish Network in 2011,
Blockbuster has maintained an online movie rental presence. Earlier this year,
the company (now a subsidiary of Dish) relaunched its Blockbuster On Demand
streaming movie service, available on computers, Android devices, and Samsung
Smart TVs.
The relaunch did
not include an iOS app, leaving mobile users without a way to access the
service's movies on a portable device, but that was remedied today with the
release of the Blockbuster On Demand app for the iPad and the iPhone.
Using the app, subscribers can watch the full library of on demand Blockbuster
titles from their iOS devices.

between $2.99 and $4.99 for a movie rental. The BlockBuster on Demand iOS app is a free download from the
App Store. [Direct Link] [Source]
