Looking for an easy way to watch President Barack Obama's ceremonial swearing-in on Jan. 21? How about your smartphone?
All you have to do is download the official Inaugural 2013 app, released Monday morning for iPhone and Android devices. Among its features is a livestream that will go live on Jan. 21 with footage of the ceremony.
Users can also elect to sign up for mobile notifications of Inauguration news so they don't miss out on any of the live-streamed content.
The app, which is easy to use and works smoothly on an iPhone 5 we used for testing purposes, has a handful of other features as well. Those who want to participate in the Inaugural Committee's National Day of Service on Jan. 19 can use the app to find volunteer events in their neighborhood. If you're among those headed to Washington, D.C. for the inauguration or related events, the app has a nifty map feature, clearly showing the National Mall and demarcating off-limits areas.
The app, produced by AT&T, is available for free download in the App Store and Google Play. Are you planning on using it to watch Obama's ceremonial swearing-in? Share in the comments.
