Benefits of Android TV app development for business

In the fast-growing smart TV market, Android TV app development provides a strategic advantage to businesses. It allows them to expand their reach, increase customer engagement, and open up new revenue opportunities.

Expanded audience reach

Android TV is a growing platform with a loyal user base, already comfortable with Android devices. By developing apps tailored to this targeted market with high engagement potential, businesses can reach new customers and new revenue streams.

New revenue streams

Depending on your Android TV app's purpose, you can monetize it through in-app purchases, subscriptions, or targeted advertising. However, it's crucial to implement these strategies thoughtfully to avoid disrupting the user experience.

Improved brand image and awareness

By developing an Android TV app, you can establish a positive brand presence in this growing market. While competition is less intense now, being an early adopter will help you attract loyal customers and solidify your position before the market becomes more crowded.

Enhanced user engagement

A user-friendly interface and easy interactions in an Android TV app can significantly increase user engagement. By making it easier to find content, and adding personalized recommendations and features such as voice search, businesses can keep users glued to their app.

Data analytics

Android TV apps offer valuable insights into user behavior and preferences. We can integrate analytics tools to track user engagement, content consumption, and purchases. This data helps refine your app strategy, personalize content, and drive business growth.

Targeted advertising

By leveraging user app behavior with user consent, you can deliver highly targeted advertising within the Android TV app. This ensures users see relevant ads for products and services they might be interested in, while increasing your ROI.

Leading manufacturers like Sony and Philips leverage Android TV as their OS, giving it a reach that surpasses even Apple TV. This vast Android audience spent $171 billion on Google Play apps in 2023, presenting a lucrative monetization opportunity. If you have a groundbreaking app idea, now is the time to turn it into reality and significantly impact the market. And we at Innowise can help you make it happen.

Struggling to bring your vision to life on TV devices?

Our team of experts will partner with you to craft an Android TV app that grabs and holds viewers’ attention.

Android TV app development process

At Innowise, we assist you in crafting engaging Android TV apps designed to enhance entertainment experiences. Our development process guarantees seamless delivery of high-quality apps that capture viewers’ attention and drive business growth.

Idea and conceptualization

In the initial stage, we focus on understanding your app's core concept, identifying the target audience, and defining its feature set. Our expert team then conducts thorough competitor research to develop a well-rounded plan.

UI/UX design

After that, we develop wireframes and mockups to visualize your app's user interface and create an intuitive user experience. These will give you a clear idea of how the app will look and function.

Coding and development

This is where we develop the app using the tech stack selected earlier. If necessary, we'll integrate any third-party APIs or services required for the app's functionality.

Testing

After development, we rigorously test the app to ensure it's bug-free and functions as planned. This testing can be done manually or through automated tools.

Optimization

At this stage, we meticulously refine the performance and user experience of your Android TV app to make it run smoothly and deliver an enjoyable interaction for users.

Content integration

We provide integration with CMS platforms to facilitate efficient content management. This streamlines the process of organizing content, guaranteeing its seamless delivery and accessibility.

User testing

In addition to our internal testing processes, we involve real users in testing to identify and fix usability problems. This helps us create an app that's easy and enjoyable for everyone, even those new to Android TV.

App submission

Once Android TV app development is complete, we submit it to the Google Play Store for app testing. While the submission process is relatively straightforward, the store review process can take several days or weeks.

Launch and marketing

We market the solution to generate interest and drive sales among your target audience. This may involve creating a website, running targeted ads, and leveraging social media.

Ongoing maintenance and updates

The work doesn't end with the app's launch. We provide ongoing maintenance to ensure its long-term success. This includes fixing bugs, adding new features, or responding to user queries.

FAQ

What are the key differences between Android TV and regular Android app development?

Regular Android apps are designed for touchscreens, while Android TV apps need to be navigable using a remote control. UI elements should be larger and easily readable from a distance. Developing apps for large TV screens also requires specialized tools and layouts such as the Leanback library. This library offers pre-built components like rows, cards, and browsable fragments to facilitate development for the television platform.

What are the main benefits of developing an Android TV app?

Android TV provides the immersive experience of a larger screen, ideally suited for activities such as video streaming, gaming, or educational content. Also, it comes with handy features like recommendations and personalized suggestions, which can significantly increase your app’s visibility. With the rising number of Android TV users, you can reach a wider audience than focusing solely on mobile devices. Moreover, Android TV apps offer various monetization options, including in-app purchases, subscriptions, and a freemium model, allowing you to generate revenue effortlessly.

What programming languages and tools are commonly used for Android TV app development?

Developing Android TV apps is similar to regular Android apps since it uses familiar languages like Kotlin and Java. The Leanback library is typically used to design the user interface for TV screens. This library provides components such as rows, cards, and browsable fragments optimized for remote control navigation on large screens. Development occurs within Android Studio, leveraging the latest SDK and an Android Virtual Device (AVD) configured for testing on a TV device.

How can we optimize the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) for Android TV apps?

To create a user-friendly and engaging Android TV app, our team prioritizes a clean interface with large, readable text for easy navigation with a remote. Leveraging Android TV’s Leanback library, we integrate built-in TV-friendly elements and ensure smooth focus transitions. Also, our developers minimize text input and focus on fast loading times, enhancing user comfort on the big screen.

Can Android TV apps be monetized?

Absolutely. Android TV apps provide different monetization options similar to mobile apps. You can leverage in-app purchases, subscriptions, or a freemium model to generate revenue from your app.
