Quality
This is not the first time we work with Video on Demand and our team has upgraded the technology so that the watching is comfortable and brings only positive emotions. The application is in a stable working condition, no failures. Users rated it highly in app stores: 4.5 on the AppStore and 4.6 on Google Play. Available on iPhone, iPad and all Android devices.

Business functions
First of all, a mobile application is a business tool. We have built into the app a powerful monitoring and statistics system so that the customer always has an understanding of the application effectiveness.
We organically introduced video ads at the beginning of the show with flexible configuration on the server and the ethical function to skip advertising at the request of the user after a few seconds of ad view.
