IPTV app for a streaming service

Smart TV

Streaming

Video

We designed and developed a multiplatform IPTV service — read our IPTV app case — that streamlines access to TV content. Here, users can upload and watch custom playlists purchased from resellers.

The interface follows the structure of typical live streaming apps. We also added features that other IPTV apps lack, like language filtering and subtitle selection.

>Built 4 smart TV apps, 2 cross-platform mobile apps and a website

>Integrated MKV-compatible and streaming-friendly video player

Streaming

The client already had smart TV apps for various platforms. They approached us for Tizen TV app development. We adapted the backend, built the frontend, and designed the missing screens.

The app allows users to watch matches both live and on demand. A killer feature — users can select broadcast segments with highlights of standout moments.

Gamification

We designed a video streaming mobile platform where creators share their cinematic works and receive crypto donations.

Designers created the app logic for three roles — viewers, film companies, and creators. To boost engagement, we integrated gamification elements like rewards for completing tasks. With it, viewers can earn in-app currency and support creators they like.

Smart TV app development process

Examine the idea

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.

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.

Result: The application that works across various Smart TVs running on the same platform

Average time frame: 10 weeks

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

Result: The app is bug-free and ready for launch

Average time frame: concurrently with the development

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 on Google Play or App Store.

Release and support

Result: The app is available for download on Smart TV stores, while we promptly fix bugs and add new features as needed

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.
