UI design for TV apps

Our team will make sure your users don’t have to get up from the couch to read what’s on-screen. Whether they like to lean on the backrest or hunch over, we will consider different habits and the smallest details to create a readable and focused UI for your smart TV app.

UX design for TV apps

We make sure navigating your app via remote control is as easy as scrolling through social media. Our designers meticulously study how people actually interact with their TVs and craft intuitive navigation flows that just make sense — no Googling required.

Rigorous testing

To ensure optimal performance and high quality, our team conducts many tests. Are the fonts visible from average viewing distances? Is the interface easy to navigate with a remote control? Does the app run smoothly without lag or crashes on various smart TV models? Those are just a few of the details we check for after smart TV app development.

Result: A database layout anda BPMN diagram, detailing the user flow and interaction logic of the future app

Average time frame: 2–3 weeks

First, we start by analyzing the project's business goals and logic. There is a reason we do it before diving into designing the interface and coding your smart TV app. After we assess your objectives, we can come up with the best-fit development plan, budget, and timeframe.

2

Design UI/UX

Result: Finished app screens and a UI kit for developers

Average time frame: 7 weeks

We create a mind map to break down app logic, craft wireframes, and turn them into a prototype. From there, the smart TV app development begins. In our design principles, we follow all of the iOS and Android TV design guidelines. The result is a visually appealing interface that’s easy to navigate with a remote control.
