U-verse Debuts Two New Apps For Spring
DALLAS, March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether you're beach-bound or hosting a party at home, two new interactive TV applications from AT&T* U-verse(®) will have you ready for Spring Break.
-- U-verse Jukebox is a U-verse Enabled application that allows you to play
songs from your mobile device on your U-verse TV. The "Party" feature
allows you to invite up to six friends to contribute songs to a dynamic
playlist. Party guests can open the app on their own device, select
"Join Party" and share tunes instantly through your home theatre system.

-- Get your body ready for the beach with the Interactive Workout App. The
interactive TV app turns your U-verse TV into your own personal trainer

area or do a full-body workout and track your progress as you go without
setting foot inside a gym. The Interactive Workout App, available via
the Go Interactive menu, gives you one simple place to work out, track
progress and get motivated, in any room in the home. Watch a demo of the
Interactive Workout App.
"Our goal with U-verse TV apps is to enhance the TV-watching experience in ways that complement or benefit our customers' lifestyles," said Maria Dillard, Vice President, U-verse & Video Products, AT&T Home Solutions. "These apps make it easier for our customers to boost efficiency, entertainment and even their health with the devices they use the most. We know when customers use TV apps, they're more engaged and happier with their U-verse TV service, so we'll continue to bring more apps to customers that deliver more value and integration."
Each of these apps are available to U-verse TV customers with High Speed Internet Access. Customers can access these and other TV apps by selecting the Go Interactive button on the remote, without needing special equipment. U-verse TV customers already have access to several additional U-verse TV apps at no extra charge.
