Technology Evangelist tested and reviewed Democracy Player and concluded that “this player is truly revolutionary if you’re willing to take the plunge. I’m loving every minute of this app. This is the future of media. No longer do I have to sit in front of my TV and watch shows when the networks tell me to. Tivo helped fix that, but Tivo was just a stop gap until something like Democracy came along. Democracy is the real deal. Open content — What we want when we want it.”
