The Democratic National Convention Committee released a DNC app today that will help engage both those who choose to attend the convention and those who choose watch it from home or the office.
The convention app, “DNC 2016,” offers a number of features, including a 360-degree convention livestream with Chromecast and AirPlay capability, in-app maps, schedules and speech transcripts, as well as a “Best of Philadelphia” section to highlight local attractions, according to a press release.
The free app is available for download through the App Store and Google Play.
Yesterday, we detailed more than a dozen other ways you can watch the DNC, which is scheduled for July 25-28th. It’s almost like no one actually needs to be there.
More details on the app, per the press release:
- Robust Convention Content: No matter what type of user is accessing the app, there’s material just for them. From the casual observer scrolling through headlines to a political junkie glued to every second, the app will have in-depth and up-to-date videos, speeches, photos and more.
