ProSiebenSat.1 Apps built using Applicaster's SaaS platform

Six channel apps have been launched for ProSieben, SAT.1, kabel eins, SAT.1 Gold, sixx and ProSieben MAXX. The apps place a strong emphasis on live TV watching, with a free live stream of the channel featuring prominently, available in Germany for the first time. Users can also enjoy episodes of their favorite shows on catch up, as well as the latest video news. Finally the apps also feature a range of engagement tools such as 2nd screen interactivity and social media integration.

"Applicaster's platform allowed us to create an elegant, intuitive app for each of our channels - which we can now replicate for other channels quickly and easily without any development. It also gave us the flexibility we needed to integrate our own video player seamlessly while benefiting from the 2nd screen and engagement features that Applicaster offers," said Jens Doka, Chief Product Officer at ProSiebenSat.1 Digital.

Applicaster's Zapp platform revolutionizes the way apps are built, enabling broadcasters and other media companies to build unique, white-label apps with rich functionality in a matter of hours with no need for development work. Much of the apps' functionality and UX can be remotely managed giving broadcasters the ability to change elements without requiring updates in the app store. Finally, the platform offers full flexibility in cases where a broadcaster wishes to use their own (or a third party) video player, analytics or advertising provider or content management system.

"We are very proud to work with ProSiebenSat.1 on this groundbreaking project and to deliver six beautiful new apps that their viewers can enjoy to watch live TV, catch up and interact with their favorite shows." said Peter Cassidy, General Manager Europe at Applicaster. "Our Zapp platform and core SDK give broadcasters the ability to launch distinctive, feature-rich apps at speed and scale while benefiting automatically from our roadmap of innovation and continuous update - keeping them ahead of the curve in terms of new operating systems, devices and viewer expectations."

The apps are available here:

App Store: ProSieben, SAT.1, kabel eins, SAT.1 Gold, sixx, ProSieben MAXX.

Google Play: ProSieben, SAT.1, kabel eins, SAT.1 Gold, sixx, ProSieben MAXX.

Applicaster will participate at the upcoming IBC show, September 9-13. To set a meeting with us at the show please click here, or stop by booth 3.B56 at the RAI Convention Centre, Amsterdam.
