SBS promises content such as the "exclusive international hit series to binge watch including UK true crime thriller The Secret, Polish action drama The Border and German mystery The Valley" and says its SBS On Demand app "features over 6000 hours of programmes from across the globe".
We are told that "audiences can also catch up on their favourite SBS programmes like Insight and Dateline, and immerse themselves in the best movies – many of which are available in Australia only on SBS On Demand".
The upgraded SBS On Demand app "now allows users to log in from email and Facebook and provides improved search functionality".
In addition, "registered users can now curate their SBS On Demand experience by adding their best-loved shows to their favourites list; search by language, country, or category; and resume playback from where they left off".
David Gwynne, channel mManager, SBS On Demand, said: “The team at SBS is continuously looking for new ways to innovate and enhance SBS On Demand’s functionality and we are thrilled to bring an even better viewing experience to iPhone and iPad users.
“The upgraded app follows the launch of SBS On Demand’s exclusive world drama box sets, offering Australian audiences premium world dramas available anytime, anywhere and absolutely free.”
Alongside a brand new video player, SBS says the updated app features improved AirPlay support to enhance user viewing experience.
