VIZIO WatchFree+ on mobiles in US
September 6, 2024

VIZIO has announced that its WatchFree+ service has been expanded to the VIZIO mobile app for iOS and Android devices in the US. Users can now take over 300 channels on the go, even if they don’t have a VIZIO TV. WatchFree+ users can watch the latest local sports, news and a variety of entertainment programming.
“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.”
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 favourite content. Users can continue watching the latest news from CNN Headlines during their morning commute or catch up on popular series such as Bachelor Nation or The Walking Dead while they wait to board a plane. WatchFree+ users can also personalise their experience by favouriting top channels and browsing through customised recommendations directly in the app.
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 organise and launch their ‘favourite’ 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 US.
