Punch in your invitation code to access the Redbox Instant Beta |
Even though Verizon is involved in the launch of the app, the word is that this is not an operator branded app and it will work on all different phone models and carriers; it will also work over a Wi-Fi connection. Can Redbox overtake Netflix in the streaming video space? This is a battle that is just beginning. With the thousands of Redbox kiosks at supermarkets, the app allows users to reserve a particular video at one of its kiosks. And you can even rent a movie without a subscription for as low as 99 cents.

This app only will work is you phone is not rooted. If the phone is rooted you will get an error: Oops " redboxinstant can't run on this device"

No support for root Android users. Oh well, guess I won't be subscribing.

Sadly, I understand why they don't allow rooted devices, if your device is rooted then you can exploit the app to record the video file to your device. Smart bas***ds. Hopefully XDA will figure out something soon!
