Build software for the entertainment industry

Over-the-top (OTT) app development gives you lots of ways to build your brand and increase earnings. Building your own puts you in charge. Our no-code solution lets you quickly create apps that works for your business needs. Describe your idea and the features you’d like – we’ll do the rest.

Increase user engagement

Talk directly to your users with your app. Showcase your best content with an attractive display that encourages users to watch. Use push notifications to bring back users who haven’t used the app recently. Built-in social features give your fans an easy way to stay engaged and chat about the things they love. 

Make money from your app

It’s easy to monetise your software. Your OTT app can support multiple business models. It’s up to you whether you want users to pay a monthly fee, watch ads or buy content with in-app purchases. Whichever option you choose, the payment interface is simple and secure – so your users will feel comfortable sharing their bank details.

Let users watch wherever they want

Watching shows on your mobile apps is great. But you know what’s better? Watching them on a big TV! Your OTT streaming platform supports all the devices your customers expect: Amazon’s Fire TV, Google’s Chromecast, Apple TV and many more. At the click of a button, your users can watch their favourites on the big screen.

User profiles make it personal

Track exactly what your customers are watching and use the powerful AI recommendation engine to suggest other things they’ll enjoy. Give them a watchlist to save their favourites for later. The more time they spend in your app, the more opportunities you have to build your brand and generate revenue.

That’s up to you! What will be the most useful for you? It could be video streaming apps designed for iOS or Android. A social media website or Progressive Web App (PWA) for chatting about your OTT solution. Even a desktop application for macOS or Windows that allows users to record and stream video. Our process is fast, simple and cost-effective.

Video streaming (OTT) platform

OTT platforms are now commonplace: Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube. Producing your own app is a great way to make your brand stand out. Your app makes it easy to manage content distribution to your app users. Upload the content, set permissions and users can interact with your TV shows immediately.

Music streaming platform

Your app does more than stream video. It lets you build a library of audio tracks and share them with your users. Offline playback, playlists, and social features offer a great way to keep your users engaged. Incentivise content producers to use your platform with custom deals and personalisation options.

Production management system

Producing and optimising content for use on OTT services is a lot of work. Stay organised with powerful project management tools – your dashboard makes everything visible at a glance. Create more great content with smart analytics. It shows you what users like best by highlighting moments of high engagement.

Radio FM station app

Not everyone wants constant music. They enjoy the interactivity of radio. Your app makes that easier. Use call management on a live show to interact with multiple listeners at once. Don’t fancy doing it live? Recording tools make it easy to prepare and edit shows in advance. Scheduling features let you broadcast saved shows at the ideal time.
