VIZIO Unveils New Shortcuts Features and Updated Mobile App To Streamline The Viewer Experience

VIZIO has unveiled two new features designed to help viewers spend less time looking for the content they want to watch, and more time watching it. On the TV, VIZIO introduced Shortcuts to VIZIO TVs through a recent auto update. Shortcuts add a new Quick Menu, WatchFree+ Mini Guide, and Recent Apps row for easy viewing and access to the apps and shows they watch most. Meanwhile, the newly redesigned VIZIO Mobile virtual remote app offers more than a new look, enhanced performance and updated navigation. More than just a remote, the VIZIO Mobile app acts as a control hub for the entire VIZIO entertainment experience. Viewers can use it to browse programming and subscribe to select streaming services through VIZIO Account, not to mention control the TV functions as well. It also offers entertainment programming partners a prime opportunity to highlight their content to relevant audiences. The VIZIO Mobile interface includes promotional units similar to those on the VIZIO TV Home Screen, allowing entertainment and media companies an opportunity to feature content front and center for millions of viewers linked directly to the programming on VIZIO SmartCast TVs. With one click, content partners can drive tune-in to specific shows, movies, streaming services, premieres, tentpole events, show pages and more. VIZIO Mobile also includes access to VIZIO’s payment and subscription management solution, VIZIO Account, which provides a seamless and accessible way for millions of VIZIO Smart TV users to subscribe to streaming services all in one place. For media and entertainment companies, VIZIO Account provides a simplified, easy-to-use solution for operating a subscription content business as well as with a dynamic marketplace for delivering offers. Helping viewers and programmers find each other easily and intelligently is one of VIZIO’s primary missions, and the new VIZIO Remote is a prime example.
