ShortsTV launches smart app to create personal channel February 13, 2018 13.12 Europe/London By Robert Briel In the Netherlands, short movies channel ShortsTV is launching a new ShortsTV app to create a custom playlist from the catalogue of approximately 5,000 short films. Based on a choice of genre and mood, the television app algorithm compiles a personal television channel. Based on personal preferences, the smart app also provides recommendations for new films to keep surprising the viewer: from comedy to documentary, from thrillers to animation, and from Academy Award winners to new talent shorts. The ShortsTV app is currently exclusively available in the Netherlands via the Ziggo Horizon box for subscribers of the Movies & Series XL package. The mobile version of the ShortsTV app will follow later this year.
