6. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
1. APP INTERFACE
A good interface can provide better experience in real ti
me, making navigation smooth and simple.
• Netflix :
Netflix has instant results which is really helpful and ti
me-saving at the same time. The software is well-
constructed and has the most intuitive and user frien
dly functionality.
• Amazon Prime Video:
You've got to type the whole thing out on Prime, and
then check, which is a bit clingy. Prime provides sea
mless experience, but there are some problems with l
ast played episode.
• Hotstar :
Hotstar does have options for search results in real ti
me, but needs further integration. Although the softw
are is well designed, it's still unstable, and continues t
o crash.
