New Content
In addition to watching the old episodes and content from Heroes, users of the app could also see content from Dark Matters and Heroes Reborn.
Dark Matters
The Dark Matters section of the app has links to the following characters:
Clicking on any of their pictures, or clicking on the the link for "Episode 1", takes the user to a Dark Matters extended preview, including a faux YouTube advertisement for Renautas, and introducing watchers to the idea of "evos" in the years following Claire's leap from the Ferris Wheel, and to the characters Phoebe, Quentin, and Hero Truther.
On July 23, 2015, users of the app were able to watch new content, including all six episodes of the prequel series Dark Matters. (Note: Dark Matters could also be watched by clicking on the menu button and choosing "Heroes Exclusive Video".)
