“Consumers have shown us how much they love WatchFree+, making it the number two most watched, free, ad-supported app on the VIZIO platform, and we’re absolutely thrilled to make the service available to everyone in the VIZIO mobile app – whether they have a VIZIO TV or not,” said Katherine Pond, Group Vice President of Platform Content & Partnerships at VIZIO. “Making great entertainment affordable and accessible to everyone has always been core to our mission, and we are excited to offer even more users access to the amazing content and great experience that WatchFree+ offers.”
Packed with more than 260 free, live entertainment and 40 local channels, including top sports, news, entertainment, and kids content, WatchFree+ users can now access hours of bingeable content wherever they may be. With amazing shows including Law & Order: SVU, Deal or No Deal, and Project Runway, WatchFree+ is the perfect companion to discover and binge a variety of content.
WatchFree+ allows users to pick up where they left off on their VIZIO TV at home directly on their phone, so they never miss a second of their favorite show. Users can continue watching the latest news from CNN Headlines during their morning commute or catch up on their fan-favorite series such as Bachelor Nation or The Walking Dead Universe while they wait to board a plane. WatchFree+ users can also personalize their bingeing experience by favoriting their top channels and browsing through customized recommendations directly in the app. With 24 categories to choose from, users can easily jump to their favorite with a simple click.
Building on the popularity of the existing VIZIO mobile app that allows users to control VIZIO TVs and soundbars, this latest update also includes a Home tab that serves as a central discovery point. This allows users to organize and launch their “favorite” apps to their VIZIO TV as well as explore TV show and movie recommendations.
WatchFree+ is available to everyone in the VIZIO app with a free VIZIO Account on iOS and Android devices in the United States. To learn more about WatchFree+, and VIZIO’s lineup of televisions and soundbars, please visit vizio.com.
