We’re constantly improving What’s On? and we think the current version is by far the best that’s ever been released. There are some users who have not yet upgraded to What’s On? 2.5, and they are missing out on the great things we improved and added. Supporting users on older versions slows the rate we can add new cool things to the latest versions, and we’ll soon begin nudging those users to update to the latest version. On 1/1/2011 we’ll be discontinuing service for the older versions. This allows us to introduce new things in What’s On? like revamped favorites, better search and push reminders for shows!

What’s On? HD
What’s On? HD was released last year to support the awesome screen size of the iPad. This meant users who used What’s On? on their iPhone or iPod Touch had to download and install a different app for their iPad. Apple has since introduced support to combine those apps into one easy to download app. In order to combine, we removed the iPad only version of What’s On? (What’s On? HD) and combined it with the regular What’s On? This means if you want to use What’s On? on any Apple device (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) you can easily search for What’s On? and download that app. On January 1, 2010, What’s On? HD will no longer list channels, and all functionality will switch to What’s On?. This combined version retains all functionality and your settings, channels and favorites will be saved. It’s important for our users to switch to What’s On?, as that is the way to continue service and receive feature and bug updates.

What’s On? 2.0x (Before October 2010)
The current version of What’s On? offers more features than ever while still being easy and intuitive to use. To keep adding new things to What’s On? we have to cut ties with the older versions.
What’s On? 2.0x will no longer be supported after January 1, 2010. This means users will not be able to browse their listings, see favorites or any other functionality with the older versions. Upgrading to the latest version (version 2.56) will ensure service continues. Most importantly, your Settings, Favorites, channel lists and more will be saved when you update. We understand that some users aren’t partial to change but the latest version adds functionality while retaining ease of use. Additionally, we’ve fixed hundreds of bugs since the 2.0x releases. The upgrade also sets the path for future plans to integrate more features that users have requested. Supporting older versions prevents us from adding features and improving the application.
