Android apps

Android media apps

As an Android smart TV app development company, we've created solutions to browse TV channels, view films and EPG, and purchase videos via local payment systems.

The key features: support for Android 4x-11, IPTV channels, EPG, and VOD. The software platforms operate directly from DVB-IP STBs without the need for a middleware server connection.

Smart TV apps

Smart TV apps for Tizen/webOS

At Promwad, we've built various web apps for Tizen, webOS, and Samsung and LG mobile operating systems. We've also participated in a project based on AmigoTV, an interactive digital TV platform offering HD broadcasting via the Internet. Our solution supports catch-up, rewind, time-shift, start-over, and record functions. It is now available on Samsung and LG Content Stores, Google Play and App Store.

AI for STBs

In-video shopping AI for STBs

We assisted the Oyper startup in creating an AI solution for scanning clothes and other items within video streams. The result was an Android- and Java-based app for smart TV STB. The solution automatically finds links to online stores, allowing users to purchase items featured in videos with a few clicks. Additionally, we've launched a mobile app to cover more video content across social networks.

TV remote app

Smartphone as a remote control

We've developed an Android application that transforms a smartphone or tablet into a remote control and sends signals to the user's TV. These signals enable functions such as changing channels, adjusting volume, and selecting broadcasting formats.

IPTV delivery

IPTV delivery apps

The multi-screen app operates on up to five user devices within a single account: set-top boxes, PCs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. It streams video content to any device and preserves the viewing progress when switching to another screen. Additionally, the app supports personal video recording (PVR), a watch-later, a smart TV guide, and a parental control function. The solution is available on Android and iOS platforms.
