TV Apps

TV apps built for the big screen

Streaming and media experiences for Apple TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Samsung Tizen, and LG webOS—designed for the couch, the remote, and long viewing sessions.

What we mean by TV apps

Experiences made for distance, focus, and the remote.

We build TV apps where navigation is simple ten feet from the screen, playback is reliable, and your brand feels at home in the living room.

Every major platform

Apple TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Tizen, and webOS—one product vision, platform-appropriate execution.

Playback first

Smooth streaming, clear controls, and resume behavior users expect from premium apps.

Remote-friendly UX

Focus states, simple grids, and flows that work with a directional pad—not a mouse.

The difference

Why TV-native wins

Phone layouts blown up to a TV fail fast—here is what changes when the experience is designed for remotes, distance, and playback from the start.

Without a TV-native app

  • Users cast from a phone—or abandon because navigation was never meant for a remote
  • Playback stutters, focus gets lost in grids, and search feels painful from the couch
  • Each TV platform is a separate scramble with inconsistent branding and features
  • Certification failures delay launch because remote UX and media policies were late additions

With a TV-native app

  • A focused ten-foot UI with clear focus states and paths to the content people want
  • Reliable playback, resume, and captions—tested on real TVs and streaming conditions
  • A coherent product across platforms with shared backend and platform-appropriate polish
  • Certification and store assets planned early so launches are repeatable
What we build

Types of TV apps we create

Streaming catalogs, live channels, and companion experiences—we shape each project around your content, platforms, and release partners.

Streaming catalogs

On-demand libraries

Browse, search, and watch libraries of films, shows, or lessons—with artwork, rows, and detail pages built for TV.

  • Content rows & categories
  • Search & filters
  • Watchlist & continue watching

Live TV & channels

For linear experiences

Channel guides, live playback, and catch-up flows tuned for remotes and long sessions on the couch.

  • EPG / channel guide
  • Live playback
  • Catch-up & restart

Media brand apps

For studios & publishers

A branded destination on the TV home screen—trailers, collections, and paths to subscribe or rent.

  • Hero & collection layouts
  • Trailer playback
  • Subscription CTAs

Interactive & fitness

For lean-back plus action

Workouts, classes, or light interactivity where the remote still drives the experience—without feeling like a phone app on a TV.

  • Session progress
  • Clear focus navigation
  • Pairing with mobile (when needed)

Platform expansion

From web or mobile to TV

Bring an existing product to the living room—reusing your backend and content while redesigning for TV constraints.

  • Shared APIs & auth
  • TV-specific UI patterns
  • Phased platform rollout

Store certification

For platform launches

Checklists, device labs, and submission support for Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, and LG storefronts.

  • Platform review prep
  • Device test matrices
  • Crash & playback monitoring
How we deliver

Workshop to launch

Short cycles, builds on real TVs, and honest updates—so you can experience navigation and playback on the couch throughout the build.

Understand your goals

We learn your content model, target platforms, and what certification and partner requirements mean for your launch.

Build in stages

You get installable builds on target TVs regularly—so focus, playback, and browse flows improve with real feedback.

Test as we go

We test on physical devices, remote inputs, and real network conditions—not only emulators with a keyboard.

Launch and support

We help you pass platform review, publish to each storefront, and can stay on for updates—or hand everything over cleanly.

Technology

Tools we trust

Platform SDKs and proven media stacks chosen for playback quality, maintainability, and the storefronts you need to reach.
