Let the big screens of Smart TVs steal the attention of viewers
CALCULATE APP COSTCustom Smart TV app development services to let TV rule the household
Smart TVs are complementing web and mobile to make for a varied viewing experience, becoming the centerpiece of daily entertainment. One undisputable advantage of smart TV devices like Samsung, LG, Sony, Philips, or Panasonic are their big screens, which is close to cinema vibes.
Still, operational challenges occur off and on all smart TV platforms including Tizen, webOS, AndroidTV, and Titan OS. A Smart TV app development company, Oxagile’ll show you a few episodes of the Smart TV the King series, the story of turning Smart TV app’s bottlenecks into flawless viewing experiences.

Neat UI/UX at the fore of Smart TV app development
During the years of Smart TV application development services for our media and broadcasting clients, Oxagile has been implementing UI/UX best practices to streamline user interactions with video content on Smart TVs.
What are the rules to make a Smart TV app’s end users happy from the very first remote control touch? This is not so easy as it might seem, as Smart TV screen real estate would rather impose navigation constraints than give the freedom of content placement.
Oxagile’s sharing the principles that make the cornerstone of a well-thought-out Smart TV app.
Make a great first impression through the transparency of user actions:
- No tricky functionality or complex settings on the user side, since viewers should instantly enjoy watching without any hard thinking processes beforehand
- Keep in mind the most common user behavior patterns: re-imagine them and offer new, friendlier options, while preserving some familiar alternatives, like channel switch buttons or up-down controls
- Balanced content presentation: optimal “user preference vs choice” combinations
Any Smart TV performance issues? No way!
Simple UI and UX patterns may not only positively affect viewers’ loyalty, but also favor fault-free performance. Yet, there are some other factors causing streaming freeze issues or long response times. Oxagile’s performance engineering team knows how to optimize performance from all angles.
Here’s what our specialists focus on while exploring performance benchmarks:
Memory consumption
As Smart TV app developers don’t have a chance to impact hardware upgrades as a rule, we apply various memory optimization techniques for the selected devices.
Heterogeneity of Smart TV platforms
Oxagile considers different generations of Tizen, webOS, Android TV, and Sony TV app development as well as their specific requirements to make sure your Smart TV app demonstrates excellent performance on each.
Adapting to low-end devices
We know how to improve performance for older versions of OSs along with avoiding numerous limitations of low-end devices.
Ready to take your content to Titan-compatible TVs?
Titan entered the top five European TV operating systems by shipments. Titan OS is gaining traction as an independent European TV platform, particularly among manufacturers looking for alternatives to large US-controlled ecosystems.
Are you considering adding this OS to your multiscreen strategy in Europe?
When a native video player is a constraint
Knowing the specifics of various players from the inside, our Smart TV app developers:
After examining the requirements to a streaming service, we advise you on the model that will work best for your case: native-built, open-source, or commercial.
Operational reliability of native players goes hand in hand with a lack of features and trickier customizations on top. Be it a compatibility issue with DRM or codecs for supported devices, we’ll guide you on better alternatives.
We’re adding custom features aimed to add to personalization and user convenience:
- End credits skip, quick channel zapping, catch-up
- Support for multiple languages, subtitles, audio tracks, or meta
- Extra in-player navigation (trailers, the best scenes, cast filmography)
Offer borderless viewing with Smart TV apps
Extend the boundaries of your streaming service and push back the limits of entertainment with the King of the Household Screens. Oxagile’ll help you bring live and on-demand content to Smart TVs as well as to other popular media streaming devices.
Submitting apps to the store made simple
Aware of OS specifics
As our team creates LG, Samsung, Sony Smart TV apps, we’re well-versed in the requirements of Tizen, webOS, Android TV platformsSome of the most common sticking points to app submission are:
- Navigation elements ported from web or other TV platforms
- Adult content policy
- Support for different video and audio formats (MPEG-2 vs MPEG-4, DTS vs Dolby) and resolution types (HD-ready, Full HD, 4K, 8K)
Walking the way to store
We go beyond tech, assisting you with an average 2–3-month submission process till the app is certified and published in the StoreKnowledge of Smart TV certification standards allows us to combine an app’s custom functionality with Samsung’s or LG’s guidelines. You don’t need to stumble over the intricacies of verification procedures.
Porting UIs from web: we’ll clear all minefields underway
Oxagile is carefully watching out subtle porting bottlenecks to avoid app store rejection, giving enough time to review all navigation elements including:
- Back navigation (predictable back button behavior)
- Scrolling mechanisms
- Intuitive navigation mechanics that limit movements to up, down, left, right, ok, back, and home buttons in order not to risk rejection due to overcomplication
- Clear focus and selection with no risks of blocking the Smart TV app
Looking beyond Smart TVs? Bank on cross-platform powers
And apply a code reuse mindset! When our clients intend to cover multiple platforms and devices, including web, we suggest adopting a single codebase concept with a common business logic layer. Oxagile is not new to the cross-platform OTT app development approach, React Native for Web and LightningJS/RDK to help you efficiently expand your strategy to:
