The Problem
( smartify mobile & web )
01 / 01
Keeping up with TV shows and movies across multiple streaming services can be a hassle. It's easy to lose track of what's on which platform, and if you're watching TV with family and friends, it can take a while to find something everyone would like to see.
In an attempt to solve this problem, I created Bingers. Bingers lets you discover and track your favorite shows across all streaming services, organized by categories, not platforms, all in one place. You can easily sync up with family and friends since Bingers features an option to "match" liked content by swiping to like or dislike, creating lists of matches so everyone can enjoy their favorite shows together effortlessly.

In designing Bingers, I focused on key jobs to be done to enhance the user experience. The app simplifies the user experience by aggregating shows and movies from all streaming services into one app.
It offers personalized recommendations, manages a unified watchlist, and tracks viewing progress.
