App Design For Apple TV – Yumtube
Yumtube is a film app for Apple TV to recommend good movies, episodes, and documentaries about food for families. While users are watching videos, some food appeared in the movies will be highlighted and the recipes are provided by the app. Users can follow the recipe to cook dishes appeared in the movies. The target user will be the family group. Taking advantage of the big screen, the recipe can be displayed on the same screen along with the video play, which makes the experience to be shared by all the family members.
Insights from user test on Mar 15:
+++ Reconsider the category for the video on the index page.
The main operation on the index page will be swiping and clicking on the pad, so it is important to minimize the complexity of accessing the 2nd-grade menu. In this case, there’s no need to differentiate the categories of videos. Since the introduction is already included in the poster and 2nd-graded menu, there’s no need to figure out whether it’s a documentary or comedy on the index page. After all, they are all videos about food.
+++ The rating system is unnecessary in this app, simplify the using process.
The source of videos about food is limited. Unlike the other film app that recommends users according to the rates, Yumtube focuses more on the recipe content from the video, which makes the rating system less supportive to the user’ choice. And the process of rating on the remote control is not handy enough.
+++ List the concluded recipe at the beginning of the video instead of displaying it at the end.
Simplify the function for users who just want to read the recipe. They can reach all the recipes without watching the video, or have a basic impression of the video content.
