STREAMING GUIDE
Everything you want to see,
in one single place.
Year: 2021 Type: User Interface, Interaction Design, User Experience, Research.
Did you know that more than 600 million people have active accounts on at least one streaming platform, and yet they still don’t know what to watch? The content offering on each service is endless, and our lifestyle leads us to have less and less time to investigate every catalog. The services themselves have solved this by creating their own lists, allowing us to save what we want to watch. In those moments of limited time, we can turn to these lists. However, when we have more than one streaming service, things get twice as complicated.
