Features
Read full description

You pay for several subscriptions and still spend twenty minutes looking for something to watch. Canapix fixes that — with Bobine, its film-buff artificial intelligence. Choose the platforms you subscribe to: Canapix brings their catalogues together in one place. Films, series and documentaries, with posters, ratings and runtimes. Tap, and the app opens the title on the right platform. BOBINE, THE FILM-BUFF AI Bobine is Canapix's artificial intelligence, and he has seen it all. Talk to him like a friend; he answers like a true cinephile: • "Is Dune: Part Two worth it?" — an honest, reasoned opinion, spoiler-free • "A film like Parasite" — Burning, The Handmaiden, Snowpiercer… and why • "A series I can finish this weekend", "I've got 90 minutes", "a 70s zombie movie" • "The film where a guy wakes up in a bathtub full of ice" — he finds it from a fuzzy memory He knows your name and your taste, follows the moment — Halloween, a Friday night, rain outside — and never suggests what you've already watched. Every title is checked, with the platform to watch it on. BOBINE'S EVENING DIGEST Around 7 pm (whenever you like), a little ritual: • For you — a gem from your platforms, picked for your taste • On this day — a film anniversary • Did you know? — a story about a film you loved Every evening or three times a week, and easy to switch off. ALSO INSIDE • "Tonight": one tap, one idea, within your subscriptions • A home screen that's yours: new on your platforms, "because you liked…" • Your watchlist and "Watched" journal with your ratings, synced with Apple TV via iCloud • Browse by genre, decade, language, runtime • iPhone, iPad and Apple TV BUILT TO BE HONEST • No account, no sign-up • No ads, no trackers • Your profile, list and ratings stay on your device and in your iCloud • Your city is only used for the weather and never leaves your device • Canapix hosts no content: the app opens your official platforms CANAPIX UNLIMITED The app is free: your catalogues in one place, your watchlist, your "Watched" journal, browsing by genre or decade.
