Grey's Anatomy Sync for iPad Lets Viewers Interact with the Show - AppScout. If you're a fan of the ABC medical drama Grey's Anatomy and also an iPad owner, now you can follow along with the action on-screen and access additional content when the show's not on television. The Grey's Anatomy Sync App for iPad allows you to interact with other fans of the show while it's on the air, and communicate with them in real time to share your opinions of each episode. You can also use the iPad app to interact in real time with scenes on your television screen if you use the app while the show is on the air. Additionally, the app has a system of badges and rewards that you can earn by checking in to the show on a regular basis or watching season finales.

Even if you're not the type to catch a show right when it's first aired, the app allows you to interact with the show if you're watching on your DVR, although not all of the features will be available. Grey's Anatomy Sync is available for free in the iTunes App Store, and requires an iPad running iOS 4.2 or higher.
