Apple TV App for Your Streaming Service

A native tvOS app built around the Siri Remote, carrying your brand and your catalogue to the most valuable room in the house.

Apple TV App for Your Streaming Service

A Smaller Audience That Spends More

The Vodlix Apple TV app reaches a smaller audience that spends more. Apple TV households pay for more subscriptions and churn less than average, which makes the platform the most valuable room in the house for a premium tier. Those viewers also will not forgive an app that feels ported. Vodlix builds a native tvOS app around the Siri Remote, carrying your brand and your catalogue. For OTT operators, Apple TV is where a premium experience earns premium retention.


Made for the Siri Remote

Swipe, not point.

Entirely your brand

No sign of the platform beneath.

Built for long sittings

Seasons and next episode first class.

Season and Episode Browsing Without the Hunting

On the Vodlix Apple TV app, seasons are listed on the left with episodes beside them, each showing its still, synopsis and runtime, so viewers never hunt for the right episode. Viewing progress is held on the account, so an episode started on a phone at lunch continues on the television in the evening. Navigation follows tvOS conventions, which Apple TV owners already know. Season browsing that feels native keeps long form viewing effortless.

Clear Suggestions for What to Watch Next

When a title ends on the Vodlix Apple TV app, related titles arrive as a readable list rather than a wall of posters. Recommendations draw from the same content lists you curate for your web storefront, so a promotion arranged once appears here too. Viewers get a clear suggestion of what to watch next, presented in a way that suits the television. Promote once, and it shows everywhere, including on tvOS.

Configured Alongside Everything Else

Apple TV is set up in the same place as the rest of your apps rather than in a separate console. Branding and behaviour are configured there and published from there, which is why adding the platform does not add a workflow for your team to learn.


One Backend Behind Every Living Room

The Vodlix Apple TV app shares the catalogue, subscriber accounts and content lists behind your other TV apps, so it adds reach without adding a separate platform to manage. Vodlix builds, publishes to the App Store and maintains the tvOS app, handling Apple's platform changes as they arrive. Nothing lands on your engineers. One backend behind every living room is what makes a multi platform TV strategy sustainable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about taking advantage of this limited-time offer? Check out the FAQ for answers.

Is the Vodlix Apple TV app native?
Yes. The Vodlix Apple TV app is a native tvOS application built around the Siri Remote and tvOS conventions, not a browser or web view adapted for the television.
Is the Apple TV app branded as ours?
Yes. The Vodlix Apple TV app is fully white label, with your name, colours, artwork and catalogue throughout and nothing indicating the platform beneath.
Do we need an in house tvOS team for the Apple TV app?
No. Vodlix builds the tvOS app, publishes it to the Apple TV App Store and maintains it through Apple's platform changes, so nothing lands on your engineers.
Does watch progress carry across devices on Apple TV?
Yes. Viewing progress is held on the Vodlix account, so an episode started on an iPhone at lunch continues on the Apple TV in the evening at the same point.
Can we run the Apple TV app alongside our other TV apps?
Yes. The Vodlix Apple TV app shares one backend, catalogue, accounts and content lists with your Android TV, Roku, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS apps.
Do subscriptions and entitlements work on Apple TV?
Yes. The television checks the same subscriber accounts as everything else, so whatever a viewer is entitled to on the web they are entitled to in the living room, with no second configuration.
Can we ship Apple TV alongside our other TV apps?
That is the usual approach. Apple TV, Android TV, Roku and Samsung Tizen all read one catalogue and one subscriber base, so each platform you add is extra reach rather than extra maintenance.
