Hulu launches universal Windows 10 app

[Technoglitch]

Hulu today launched a universal Windows 10 app for smartphones, tablets, and PCs, with support for Cortana and Live Tiles. You can download the new version now from the Windows Store.

To be clear, Hulu was already available on Windows 10. There was a Windows 8.1 app for PCs and tablets that worked on Windows 10 computers, as well as a Windows Phone 8 app that worked on Windows 10 Mobile. Today’s release is a single app that works across smartphones, tablets, and PCs. If you download Hulu from the Windows Store (or update to the latest version), you’ll get the same app, but it will adapt its user interface to your device. That said, the app is only available to U.S. residents (unlike Netflix, with its massive reach, Hulu islimited to the U.S. and Japan).

The universal Windows platform (UWP) also stretches to the Xbox One, but Hulu didn’t include support for the console in this release, Greg Sullivan, senior manager of Windows, told VentureBeat. Hulu is already available for Xbox One, but since Cortana voice commands haven’t yet been extended to third-party apps on Microsoft’s console, there was no incentive to include Xbox One support today.

Is it??might be they will get successful in other countries but in India it is very difficult because they are concentrating manly on TV shows only and In India there in no market for this 2 nd thing they having very less movie library but we need to pay more to get movies along with tv shows.

The first and foremost thing is good and fast internet at affordable price. If there is no good internet and at affordable price, no streaming service is going to do well. India is very very far from getting people connected on the fast internet broadband.

Their rigidness to not accept India Credit card and paypal account is forcing many to do piracy if they would have allowed Indian cards I would have definately subscribed

That's why piracy is on peak for Hulu programs.
