  • UX design for TV apps

    When it comes to Smart TV UX, our focus is always on the user. We make sure navigating your app is as easy and intuitive as scrolling through social media or walking around a familiar neighborhood. 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.

Our workflow

  • Examine the idea

    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.

  • Prioritize features

    Based on your goals and budget, we prioritize must-have features for your Smart TV app. The precise focus helps us shorten the time-to-market and cut down the expenses, leaving the non-essentials behind.

  • Design UI/UX

    We create a mind map to break down app logic, craft wireframes to visualize it, and turn it into a prototype. From there, the developers can start coding. In our design princesses, we follow all the iOS and Android design guidelines.

  • App development services

    To better serve your goals and objectives, we assemble a team of smart TV app developers with versatile skill sets. They work in sprints — 2-week intervals with regular check-ins — to control the workload and track the progress at every step.

  • Testing

    Bug-free is a must-have for a successful launch. Our meticulous testing regime combines manual and automated checks to detect any issues before the release of your Smart TV app.

  • Release and support

    We won't leave you hanging out to dry after the launch. The team will help support and update the app post-release. We also provide support with the marketplace distribution.

KEY FEATURES

We've formed a list of core features that can be applied to most Smart TV Apps.

  • QR code log-in

    Provide added value by letting users scan QR codes on the TV screen with their cameras. The easier it is for them to get access to content, the better.

  • Multi-user profiles

    Enhance personalization by allowing users to add multiple profiles within the app. This feature ensures each user gets tailored recommendations and a customized viewing history.

  • Content search

    Ensure easy search by letting users find content not just by movie or TV show name, but also by actor, genre, year, country, language, and other helpful categories.

  • Voice control

    For busy users, simplify navigation and search by incorporating voice control. Let users quickly find content or control playback via voice commands, hands-free and fast.

  • Recommendations

    To capture details about viewers and provide content based on their tastes, past viewing or purchase history.

  • Playback position remembering

    Let your users resume from where they last left off simply because it's deadly annoying to search for a place where you're at when opening up the app again.

  • Feedback feature

    We heavily rely on feedback — facts. Boost users' experience by giving them the ability to rate content and write reviews.

  • Favorites

    Enable the ability to save movies and shows users are into. Be it a romantic drama with Ryan Gosling or a Walt Disney cartoon they want to add to their Watchlist.

  • Offline viewing

    Provide the option for users to download content and watch it offline. This feature is ideal for viewers with limited internet access or those who want to enjoy content on the go.

  • Parental controls

    To make your app family-friendly, allow parents to set content restrictions, monitor viewing habits, and safeguard children from inappropriate content.

  • Automatic updates

    Ensure your app stays up-to-date with the latest features and improvements through automatic updates. This keeps the app running smoothly and safely.
