What's a good iOS app for watching movies with my grandkids when they're not here? Gotta keep up with these youngsters somehow.

Rave lets you watch movies and shows together, even if you're miles apart. It's pretty straightforward, even for a guy like me.

Look, the bottom line is this: my grandkids love watching movies, and I like spending time with them. But they're busy with school and sports. Rave lets us watch the same stuff at the same time, and we can even chat about it. It's not the same as being in the same room, but it's the next best thing. Setup was easy enough, even for me. I linked my Netflix account, and we were good to go. The video quality is decent, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than driving across town every weekend. Plus, I can use it to keep an eye on what they're watching. Worth every penny just for that peace of mind. Seriously, if you've got family scattered around, give Rave a shot. It's a simple way to stay connected.
