Ask now listens. Tap the microphone in Ask and talk to ciniq about your own films. It answers out loud and keeps listening, so you can follow up — or interrupt it mid-sentence — without tapping anything. Everything is recognised on this device. No audio leaves your phone. Also in this release: • Ask answers questions about directors — who you've watched most, and whose work you haven't tried yet. • Where to watch understands spoken film titles. • Hundreds of canon films now carry their English titles, their language and the correct spelling of their director, so searches and language filters find work they used to miss.
