A truly universal TV viewing experience for a new generation

Not your average app
Designing this app was no small feat: the Go-app is currently live in 12 countries under 5 different brands, with more countries and new brands coming up later this year. This means 5 brand identities, 10 different languages and many country-specific features, demands and legal requirements to take into account. On top of that, the Horizon Go app is available across iOS, Android and Windows devices and is also accessible on the web.
“Hike One not only played an essential role in designing a great new experience of our multiscreen products, but also in ensuring a consistent and coherent implementation of this new experience across our various platforms.”Edward Bos

Stronger together
Together with multiple stakeholders we work according to the principles of Scrum. This results in daily stand-ups, refinement, and planning and review sessions. Since we work together with developers, in-house designers and product owners, we execute refinements cross-team. During reviews we gather all product owners and designers and present our work for alignment, feedback gathering and design improvements.
“Working on this long-term project required close cooperation and trust between our team and our stakeholders. We're looking forward to continue working with Liberty Global and keep improving the TV products.”Myrthe Geldof

Television everywhere
We watch TV on many devices at any time. And while traditional TV screens are still very popular, we’re also eager to see our favourite shows and series while travelling, in bed or even on the toilet. That's why the Horizon Go app is available on all devices.
Design a Design System
We’ve created a consistent and manageable design system: this makes it easy to maintain design changes and hand over the design to development. During the project, we changed course and went from designing for one platform to designing for all platforms at once.
