Personalized right
upfront - makes me
feel like this is some
real “Me” time
coming up

Pretty colors! Also,
red & black makes
me feel like I’m in a
fancy movie theater

BAM! Visually
stimulating first
screen, lots to
see here

Although minimalist,
personalization takes the
lead - My List, then Top
Picks for You

Interesting: why do the
labels change from 1st to
3rd person, then use passive
voice?

“Peekaboo” partial tile
images encourage horizontal
scrolling & discovery

Saves valuable screen space
from being taken up with
“Next”/”Prev” buttons
“Oohh, what’s
that??” *swipe,
swipe*

Wonder why they didn’t
apply the same trick here,
and used slider dot
navigation instead?

I would love if I could long-
press to watch quick
clips/previews of the shows,
before I commit...

Ok, so let’s catch up on HoC,
before Season 5 hits in May
;)

Notice how all
personalization is stripped
away & the only thing they
want you to do is play the
damn video

Same partial tile trick used
for episode listings,
although header is the
only visual

Encourages that “just one

bingewatching reflex...

Personalization again
(although not as much as
Netflix)

Personalization again
(although not as much as

OMG, did they seriously
leave this precious space
unused??

Personalization again
(although not as much as
Netflix)
Oh, wait… I guess I need
to add more stuff to my
Watchlist?

Ok, lemme add
something… Oooh, I’ve
heard Rick & Morty is
good.

Ok, lemme add
something… Oooh, I’ve
heard Rick & Morty is

I’ll just press the “Add to
Watchlist” button, aaand...

??
Where is it? I guess
maybe under
“Details”?

There it is. Hmm, would’ve
thought such an important
function would be higher
up in the UI hierarchy

Aaaand back to the top.
Oh, nice, the top
recommended show has
already updated, after
adding just one thing to
my Watchlist.

Impressive, real-time
personalization
happening here!
(Netflix doesn’t do
this, I checked)

Peekaboo tiles are used
here too.
Ok, let’s give Community
a shot...

Seems like wasted space
up top... No description of
the show, you have to
click “Details”

up top... No description of

This “Start Watching” tile
doesn’t really show off the
image underneath, OR
stand out as the most
important button on the
screen - this should be
the whole point!

Just like Netflix, this
player is all business…
although kinda weird
there’s a share button
there...

BRO, I had to wait through
3 unskippable, back-to-
back ads, plus all the show
credits, before they
autoplayed the next
episode for me

BRO = Big
Retention
Opportunity ;)

Interesting - why is the
content I just watched
more prominent than the
content I want to watch
next? Another BRO!

Big, bold imagery -
interesting that movie
posters are shown at a
different aspect ratio than
episodic shows.
Intentional?

Also, no peekaboo tiles?
Could be another BRO =)

IT’S A CONSPIRACY!
Hamburger menus, everywhere...

Anyway, not much
personalization, although
if I add a new movie to my
watchlist...

Yep, another app doing
real-time
personalization/curation

Nothing says “Let’s do
this” like a GIANT GREEN
BUTTON!

there’s ZERO description

Social proof is pretty
crammed in there, too -
IMDB is there representin’
for credibility...

Pretty bare-bones UI,
though. Perhaps another
example of “Not selling
past the close”?
*scrolls down*

I take it all back, there’s a TON
of content here. But I would’ve
completely missed it, if I hadn’t
kept scrolling past all the
episodes. Huge BRO, bro! (OK,
I’ll stop)

Excellent use of content
partnership w/ IMDB*. The
social proof is STRONG with
this one - reviews, user ratings,
IMDB scores, trivia, the works...
* Fun Fact: IMDB.com is one of the oldest database-driven websites on
the internet

That’s a pretty busy player
interface - wonder why all that
info about the actors is there...?

Oh wow! They’ve overlaid all
the IMDB info on the content,
to keep users inside the app
during those “Where do I know
her from?” moments.
Super-sneaky, Amazon!

Well that was... abrupt.
Again, had to wait for credits to
finish, but immediately afterward,
there’s just that big green button
again. Wonder if this is the same
for movies...?

They all simply dump me back on
the info page of the movie I just
watched. That’s a huge BR- uh...

Editor's Notes

#4 First question after logging in, who’s watching? Personalized right upfront, good going - makes me feel like this is really some “me” time Pretty colors! Red & black makes me feel like I’m in a fancy movie theater, even though it’s all happening on a tiny screen Customized icons are pretty cool Clear indication of who are the kids vs adults Nice clear + add button

#7 Bam, content! One touch is all I need to start getting recommendations. Although minimalist, everything this is here is personalized - My List, then Top Picks for You Interesting, why does it change from 1st to 3rd person labelling? Then passive voice - “Recently Added” They’re using the masonry trick to encourage horizontal scrolling, just like Pinterest Saves having to use valuable screen space for Next/Prev buttons Same trick used w/ Recently Added - “Ooohh, what’s new??” Opportunities Really wish I could long-press to see clips or highlights of the shows - I’m a cynical millennial, I don’t trust the marketing posters ;) Lots of horizontal scrolling is tiring - it’s easier to vertically scroll more frequently

#38 Whoa, I had to wait through 3 back-to-back ads, plus all the show credits before they showed the post-play experience & autoplaying the next episode This could be a big opportunity for retaining viewers Interesting that the content they want me to watch is receded to the background, yet the content I just watched is the most prominent item on the screen… [chinstroke emoji] Opportunities Fix the play button! The overlay thing simply obscures the episode thumbnail & makes the CTA button less noticeable Post-Play Experience could emphasize new content more than old
