HBO Now

Mobile App Experience Redesign

In this redesign proposal for the mobile app of HBO NOW, I aim to construct a more friendly, personalized, and continuous experience on top of the premium content HBO provides. The result includes a refreshed interface with brand new features.

Redesign Proposal

Why redesign?

HBO NOW enables easy access to HBO’s exclusive video content, with a sleek and clean look of its mobile app. Yet, certain unthoughtful designs risk making its in-app experience impersonal, inconsistent and overall frustrating. Here lists a few of them:

- Lack of personalized content and recommendations

- Add to Watchlist hard to access

- Continue Watching feature not working "smart" enough

Proposal

The app is in need of a redesign that will provide users more reasons to stick with their subscriptions after the initial visit. The goal of this redesign is to reconstruct a more friendly, personalized, and continuous experience on top of the premium content HBO provides.

ADD NEW FEATURES:

- “You May Like...” recommendation feature

- “Watch Next” feature for better revisit experience

IMPROVE USER FLOW:

- Easy “add for later” process

- Easily accessible program categories
