Let's set the scene.
You find a small window of down time and decide to sit yourself in front of the TV.
Drink, check. Snack, check. You head to your chosen TV App… and relax.
Hang on…
You need to login… and you can't remember your password.
After 5 minutes of faff you're finally in.
And then you hit a chaotic home screen.
Navigation is slow.
Getting to the content you want is a chore.
Relaxed? Yeah, right.
You switch to a different App in the hope it's better, or give up & go and cut the grass.
Sound familiar?
We feel your pain. That's why we exist. We fix bad TV experiences like this and lead the way in building the slickest of TV apps on the planet, for the likes of BBC, ATP Media, Britbox, ITV. As it happens, over the past 13 years we've won numerous awards and become one of the leading authorities in the Smart TV app tech space. Not bad for what was a side project between two childhood friends.
