Apps are becoming an increasingly important part of the entertainment experience. From enhancing events like the recent summer Olympics to deepening engagement with favorite shows, apps are bringing television and the Internet together to create new experiences.  The range of functionality provided by apps is huge. Apps that appear directly on the TV screen provide a variety of enhancements including multi-viewer interfaces, voting, TVCommerce and more. Second screen apps, leveraging the ubiquitous iPad or mobile phone, can synchronize with the show being watched opening up a huge array of possibilities. Apps are even becoming part of the entertainment: in some shows users can provide real-time feedback that becomes an integral part of it.  But which approaches really work to increase audiences and improve engagement? In this panel we will deconstruct the TV app and learn from experts with hands-on experience what works and why.
