What’s the conclusion of this story?

Platform-specific and intuitive interfaces for end viewers

The UX/UI audit reveals the project’s pain points

“When a client approaches us with their visionary concepts for an upcoming project, we stand prepared to extend our assistance and expertise across all phases of development, spanning from research to testing. Whether through collaborative efforts or assuming responsibility for specific aspects of the development process, we ensure comprehensive support.

Being initially presented with interface practices, we emphasized the critical points that could influence the end-user viewing experience and subsequent app submission to the store. For example, compliance with platform guidelines proved challenging. Overlooking nuances such as TV UX ergonomics — where viewers typically sit 3–4 meters away — was a significant consideration. Furthermore, achieving intuitive user experiences for end users remained an area for improvement.”

Defining the key challenges

  • Multiple platforms

    Covering various platforms — web, Android TV, mobile — posed a multifaceted test. We prioritized TV interfaces, gradually expanding to ensure a seamless UX across all devices.

  • Cross-cultural UX design

    Adapting to right-to-left reading, censoring imagery, and positioning UI elements like logos and buttons demanded precise attention to detail and the cultural sensitivity of the market.
