Introduction

DOGTV also announced the launch of DOGTV Anywhere.

Whether your poodle is traveling to Paris, or your retriever is lounging in the back seat of the car, DOGTV Anywhere brings 24-hour multi-platform apps to iOS and Android devices for on-the-go entertainment.

DOGTV Content

DOGTV was developed by world-leading pet and TV experts. The content was created following more than three years of research on dog vision, hearing, and behavior. 

Dogs can experience stress not only when left home alone but also while traveling with you in a car or an aircraft. Having the DOGTV Anywhere app on your smartphone or tablet can help the animal cope.

The programming was divided into three categories: relaxation, stimulation, and exposure. The combination of these provide just the right balance to ease boredom and reduce stress levels.

My Target

The PM at LATTO requested that I design the DOGTV Anywhere mobile app based on the existing Smart TV applications. My goal was to create a seamless and engaging mobile experience while ensuring design consistency across platforms.


Key Responsibilities & Objectives:

The PM at LATTO requested that I design the DOGTV Anywhere mobile app based on the existing Smart TV applications. My goal was to create a seamless and engaging mobile experience while ensuring design consistency across platforms.

Key Responsibilities & Objectives:
  1. Developing DOGTV Anywhere Mobile App

I design a mobile app that translates the Smart TV experience to mobile devices while optimizing usability and engagement.

  1. Implementing Key Features

I ensure the app includes essential functionalities, such as:

  • Smooth user onboarding through registration and subscription management

  • Engaging content experience with videos and one live channel

  1. Enhancing UI/UX and Branding

I conduct research to improve user experience, refine UI elements, and support rebranding efforts for a polished, professional look.

Understanding Our Audience

DOGTV is designed for pet owners who want to ensure their dogs feel comfortable, entertained, and stress-free, whether at home or on the go. Many dog parents have busy schedules and rely on DOGTV to keep their pets engaged during the day. Additionally, some dogs experience anxiety during travel, making it essential to provide calming solutions beyond the home environment.

Ann

35 years old

35 Ann lives with her boyfriend and her beloved Golden Retriever - Barley. Ann and her boyfriend work 9 hours a day. During their absence, the dog watches DOGTV.

On weekends, the couple likes to travel together, but Barley dislikes the car and is stressed during the way.

It would be beneficial to have DOGTV in the car for Barley to manage the stress.

Sketching

The next step of my work is the sketching process, which plays a crucial role in shaping the design. Below is a sketch of the application workflow, where I map out the core steps the user will take while interacting with the app. This step allows me to visualize the flow of the application from start to finish, considering every action a user will perform.

Wireframes

Before Ann can start using the app, she needs to register and subscribe. She will receive a 14-day free trial, giving her the opportunity to explore the features. If she doesn't cancel the subscription before the end of the trial, her account will automatically be charged a monthly subscription fee.

The app features three main tabs:

The app features three main tabs:

  1. VOD (Video On Demand) Tab

This is where Ann can select short videos based on categories or her dog’s mood. This provides her with a tailored experience to keep Barley entertained and relaxed.

  1. LIVE Feed Channel Tab

This tab features a live feed that Ann can use to watch real-time content for Barley. It's perfect for keeping Barley engaged with live programming.

  1. Menu Tab

The third and most recent addition to the app is the menu tab. Here, Ann can edit her profile, view her billing history, contact customer support, or cancel her subscription if needed. This ensures she has full control over her account and preferences.

Color Palette Update for DOGTV

To enhance the visual appeal of DOGTV, I created a new color palette that emphasizes the importance of digital colors. I updated the primary orange to a bright, light orange to give it a fresher, more vibrant look. Additionally, I replaced the brown with dark gray, as it pairs well with various colors, providing flexibility and balance.

To add more energy and life to the application, I introduced a blue digital color. This choice works harmoniously with the light orange, creating a vibrant yet cohesive color scheme that enhances the user experience.
