Objective
To develop an application that can help parents browse movies available through Netflix that are rated G for their kids and family.
The interface must be simple, intuitive and enable fast searches.
Challenges
The app had to be developed in a short span of 4 weeks
The single largest challenge was to use the Netflix API for the application. Netflix API has many complexities that do not allow easy filtering by ratings,
Approach
iLEAD started working on this and made parallel streams for development and design tasks. While the design team was busy creating a simple and elegant interface, the development team worked on using the Netflix API for Movie fetch, streaming and search mechanisms.
Complex nature of Netflix API for filtering mechanism of TV shows and movies required our team to insert a number of checks and measures to make sure that the app interacted with the Netflix database and API in the right manner.
Outcome
The app was successfully completed and launched by the client.
