Questions buyers ask us
Can one app cover Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV?
Often most of the code can be shared. We map out what’s shared and what each store needs during discovery.
Do you support Widevine DRM?
Yes. We integrate Widevine with your DRM provider and license server.
Can you also build our Android phone app?
Yes. We plan phone and TV together so features and analytics stay consistent.
