The idea behind the app is to mainly entertain
people. People can view videos uploaded by
other people and these videos have many
genres like gaming or entertainment so
everyone can watch what they like.
It is trying to entertain people and people
mostly watch it when they are bored or have
nothing to do. The need it is meeting is having
different types of videos for everyone. It is
innovative because it is the first type of
application which does something like this.
On the home screen, it displays lots of videos
which it recommends to you by studying the
other types of videos you watch as if you
watch gaming, it will recommend gaming
videos to you.
The search screen is just a search bar, it works
when you type what you want to watch and
then you click search. The search results page
is the results of the search you typed in the
search bar. It works by searching videos which
have keywords to your search. It must have
internet access to work.
The app is built in most phones but even if it
isn’t you can still watch from the browser or
download the app. If your device was a bit
older, it would perform slowly.
I really like the app and I use it almost on a
daily basis.
The app can be a little glitchy sometimes
It’s very simple and doesn’t have any out of
place buttons
The buttons seemed like they were placed very
convienietyly
It is the only app which does something like
this, kind of like a tv but you can watch
whatever you want, whenever you want
But is more better and accessible and and you
can earn money from it.
