Services modifier

Watchever.de modifier

Watchever – a subscription VOD service – was launched onto the German market in January 2013. The product was designed to be intuitive and easy-to-use on all screens. In September 2015 a new version of the service was relaunched, with features improvements, new content and a concept of channels curation, new on the German market.

KiDS by Watchever modifier

KiDS by Watchever is an SVOD app dedicated to 3 to 10 years-old. The interface is intuitive and customisable and children navigate initially by character, rather than content. Parents can set which content their children may watch and for how long, so kids can use the app on their own in the easiest and safest way possibl

Technical details modifier

Features modifier

Watchever proposes content in HD, original version and dubbed in German.

Offline mode modifier

Watchever was one of the first SVOD services in the world to offer offline mode. It allows the subscribers to download until 25 episodes or 5 movies – depending on the device storage ability - for a limited period of time (30 days) for playing them on his mobile devices even without internet connection. Once the user has started to play a content he has 48 hours to watch it. Should this time be exceeded he will have to download it again. This content can be played instantaneously on several devices, and can be manually erased once watched.

Recommendation engine modifier

Watchever teams developed an in-house recommendation engine and made it evolve so the movies and tv shows recommendation would be based on similar profile rather than similar genres, thanks to a segmented audience approach. It avoids “obvious” recommendation and personalizes the user’s homepage as he watches content.
