''Fayve'' was a digital entertainment distribution service founded and developed by Vulcan Technologies, LLC. It was launched on November 8, 2012, and ran as an app on iOS for iPad owners, on Google Play for Android Tablets and on Amazon for Kindle tablets. The app was a movie and TV show discovery tool that aggregated content from Netflix, Hulu, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, (Amazon Instant ), Redbox, YouTube, VUDU, Crackle, iTunes, (XFINITY ), (IndieFlix ) and Fandango into one library.〔()〕 It allowed users with accounts from those service providers to stream content from a single interface. Support for ''Fayve'' ended on November 16, 2014, and the app was removed from the app stores after a major streaming provider discontinued its data feed. ''Fayve'' was originally created for, and used by, Paul G. Allen, founder of Fayve’s parent company, Vulcan, Inc., to navigate “his own giant collection of films and movies.” It was re-tooled and commercialized because of its “broader market appeal.” According to CNET, the name ''Fayve'' is both a reference to “favorites” and a homage to Allen’s mother, Faye, who died in 2012. ==Format== ''Fayve'' uses a rotating carousel to display content, allowing users to sort by genre, topics or content providers. Once a user taps on a title on the carousel, a details page with more information on that show or movie presents itself, which includes cast and crew, similar shows, photos from the show or movie, and friends that have also "liked it" on Facebook. Most of the actions within the title page “pivot” to another page when clicked on, such as a cast member, or it will suggest similar titles to the one you are viewing. Many titles pages also include Rotten Tomatoes reviews and one or more theatrical trailers, ranging from 30-seconds to 2-minutes. Displayed below the cover art of the movie or TV show are the service providers the title is available on. Tapping on the logo of the content provider will enable the user to stream the title instantly. The app also allows the user to use “service filters” to ignore service providers a user does not have access to. Celebrities also have their own home pages, which includes biographies, photos, “mediography” (which encompasses movie and TV credits). Users are given the opportunity to rate TV shows, movies and individual celebrities on a one-star to five-star scale. Developers of ''Fayve'' say this process helps deliver higher quality recommendations. Users are given the option to post their ratings and reviews to other social media providers, including Facebook and Twitter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fayve」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
