Maxview is a market leader in satellite, WiFi and terrestrial TV systems for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, and mobile leisure vehicles. With over 60 years of experience, they’ve built a reputation for innovation, reliability, and industry-leading engineering in the touring and leisure sector.
As part of their continued product development, Maxview approached us to help design and build the companion app for their new Series 4 satellite dish, launching in 2025 — a key component of their next-generation satellite TV system.
Requirements
The Series 4 dish marks a step forward for Maxview’s product range, offering users a smarter, more seamless way to control their satellite setup. The app would be a core part of the product experience, enabling customers to control their system entirely via Bluetooth, removing the need for a separate controller unit.
The app needed to:
- Pair with the Series 4 dish over Bluetooth
- Allow users to choose satellites from a predefined list and initiate satellite locking
- Provide a smooth experience for stowing and deploying the dish
- Be clear, intuitive, and reliable even in low-connectivity environments
- Reflect Maxview’s trusted brand and technical pedigree
Solution
We designed and developed the Series 4 Mobile App as a fully native experience for both iOS and Android, using modern cross-platform technologies to ensure smooth performance and hardware-level Bluetooth integration.
The app features a streamlined user interface, allowing users to quickly pair their phone with their Series 4 dish, select target satellites (such as Astra 2 or Hotbird), and initiate automatic alignment. Users can also stow or deploy their dish with a single tap, with real-time feedback on status and connectivity.
We worked closely with the Maxview engineering team to ensure the app’s Bluetooth communication layer integrated tightly with the Series 4 hardware, providing fast, stable pairing and command transmission across a wide range of devices. The app was designed for outdoor usability — large touch areas, clear messaging, and robust performance even in remote touring locations.
The UI reflects Maxview’s long-standing brand identity, with a clean, professional interface that builds confidence while remaining approachable for non-technical users.
Results
The Series 4 App is now a vital component of Maxview’s new product ecosystem, giving customers complete control of their satellite dish from their smartphone. By removing the need for additional controllers and simplifying the setup process, the app makes satellite TV more accessible for touring customers of all experience levels.
Early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with users praising the simplicity, speed, and convenience of controlling their dish from their phone. The app reinforces Maxview’s position as a technology leader in the leisure vehicle space — delivering a smart, connected experience for the modern traveller.
