Record your favorite Netflix movies or Hulu shows and watch them on your PC, smartphone, or tablet.
PlayLater lets you record online videos from Netflix, Hulu, and over 40 other channels to watch later at your convenience with no Internet connection required. You can watch on your PC, iPad/iPhone, Android phone or tablet, or other Smartphone or Tablet. PlayLater is great when traveling (you can watch on the plane or overseas where you can't watch online) and when you want to watch things that expire rapidly from the online listings in Hulu/Netflix. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Unfortunately unable to determine if there are any pros to this application.
Cons
This application is NOT free to try. You can download and install the application but as soon as you try to record anything, it tells you that you cannot record without purchasing a license. So where is the free to try? Unless you consider playing with the user interface as trying the application. Totally misleading. Do you really want to deal with a company that does the old bait and switch?
Summary
Great way to save content legally for later viewing.

Pros
With PlayLater, I'm able to legally recorded programs and movies from Netflix, HBOGo, Hulu and other online providers. Once recorded, I can play them whenever I want. It records is a variety of formats, I use MP4. I watch the recorded programs when I'm on long flight or camping. It works. PlayLater has a good tech support. I had difficulty with downloading from HBOGo and they help me via email very quickly.
Cons
1. It's a bit slow. It records in real time.
2. Sometimes you have re-logon to HBOGo to be able to download. (This is more of a problem with HBOGo, not PlayLater
3. Limited number of channels on PlayLater
Summary
If you want to be able to legally download and save content for later viewing, PlayLater works great.
Very cool product. Game changer for my phone and iPad.

Pros
I have an iPad and don't want to pay a fee for 3G on it, the only gotcha was I liked the idea of being able to watch movies/shows when I was out and about. This solves the problem. I record a movie or two and a few show and I always have entertainment in my pocket. Just watched an episode of Louie while I was waiting for new tires to be put on my car. Awesome.
Cons
Not sure...interface is a little 1.0 version, but it's not bad.
Summary
Get it, it's a game changer.
PlayLater is huge for traveling with kids!
