HBO-Go-iPad

The HBO Go app for iOS has today been updated to add some great new features, including support for AirPlay multitasking. Game of Thrones fans will also be able to enjoy enhancements to the interactive experience on iPad.

With AirPlay multitasking, you can stream your favorite HBO shows to your Apple TV from your iOS device while using other apps simultaneously. You no longer have to leave the HBO Go app open all the time, so you can surf the web, catch up with friends on Facebook, and more while your content continues streaming in the background.

The version 2.1 update also promises enhancements to the interactive features experience for Game of Thrones, and general performance enhancements which should make the app a little more responsive.

You can download HBO Go version 2.1 from the App Store now. It’s free, but you’ll need an HBO subscription to use it.
