Dramafy hero
Overview

300+ shows. Scripted, performed, sound designed. Dramafy is audio drama done right: not a podcast, not an audiobook.

Approach

The launch app had to feel familiar, browse fast and work everywhere, with room for profiles, in-app purchases and library tools down the road. The result lifts the brand, stays easy to use and scales with the catalogue.

Home & BrowseA Home built around Keep Listening, Featured and Shows for you, and a Browse that opens into Top Series, Coming Soon, Collections, Creators and Genres.03
Player & QueueA full-screen player with 30-second skip and a scrubber, plus a queue that tracks Now Playing, History and Next up, with a mini player docked above the nav.04
