- Max relocates its upper navigation menu to the side.
- He also adds two new ways to find content to distribute.
- The design change begins to take place slowly towards the televisions.
If you have opened the Max application On your TV and noticed that the upper navigation bar is no longer up, you don’t see things. This is part of a redesigned navigation menu that the streaming service is starting to deploy after a successful test in Latin America.
This change only happens for televisions – so smart interfaces or a streaming box such as Roku Ultra or Apple TV 4K – not for the web interface or mobile applications.
Where did your easy to HBO navigation go? I mean, we all need our Larry David Fix graceful of Attach your enthusiasm. Where did sports, news and series have gone? Well, not so far, because it now resides in a new menu bar on the left side of the screen. And with him, Max offers new ways to find organized content.
Two new submenus, What’s Netter and Categories, join the existing series, films, HBOs, sports and submenus news. These submenus are aimed at facilitating content recommendations and finding something to disseminate. Both are typical streamers quests, because various services are trying new ways of making you consume content faster and more effort.
What is new is a little more than the name also suggests. Yes, it will serve the latest arrivals on max, but it will also shed light on the content that will arrive in a short time, but also – and perhaps more important – movies, television shows and documentaries that will leave . In this way, you can get one or two additional watches of things that you are sad to see Go.
The categories are a little more explicit but will decompose the content by different themes, genres and brands. Anyway, the two new sections are added to the preexisting, all there to help you find the programs and films you want to watch more quickly.
Max’s navigation menu, living on the left, also cleans the top of the interface, allowing you to see the image of the upper carousel with little or no distractions. It could also allow Max to deploy more cinematographic cinematographic visuals to promote its most recent or star content.
This deployment is not available either for each max subscriber at the same time, so don’t worry if you don’t see it yet. It will first take a certain time to reach a subset of users and possibly develop at the complete customer base on connected TV devices from around the world and wherever the streaming service is available. In a shared version, max note that the design could be “slightly modified between regions to meet local needs”.
It will be interesting to see the user’s wider reaction to the overhaul of the Max navigation menu, if it is more changed and if other streaming services will implement changes according to them. You may remember that Amazon gave Prime Video a great overhaul this summer, and you can see our first practices with him here.
