Showmax redesigns their apps for a better customer experience

Showmax has announced that it has redesigned its apps and they now provide more functionality for its customers to offer a better experience. Showmax apps are available on Android, Android TV, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation and on smart TVs.

The new redesigned apps have been rolled out to 5% of its customers and will be rolled out to the rest of customers in batches. The new features include;

1. Profiles – The profile functionality is more comprehensive and easier to use. Profiles can be created for children of different ages and for adults. The kids profile can be set depending on the ages of your child.

2. Parental controls – Parental controls can be set universally, and they can be set per profile – so total control to make sure nobody sees something they shouldn’t. You can create a global PIN to restrict kids and teens from watching inappropriate content. Any content that they are not supposed to watch requires a PIN to watch.

3. Kids section – There’s a dedicated Kids section that feature exclusive content for children

4. Lists – The My Lists function has been improved and customers are able to use it to save movies and TV series that they would like to watch in future.

5. Overall – The overall look and feel of the apps has changed and more content tiles are visible to make it faster and easier to find content on the service.

It has thousands of hours of video content that also includes Kenyan and African content. Showmax is available for streaming via web, on a variety of apps (iOS and Android) and also on smart TVs.
