Turn reading into listening

Product Design - UI/UX - Illustrations - App Icon

With recast, we transformed the way users consumed content by turning online articles into engaging and easy-to-understand podcast conversations.
This required a powerhouse in the backend but an easy-to-use frontend.

One of the main UI challenges was to balance how much content was shown in what situation. The screens should not be overloaded, but all necessary information should be there, and all additional information should be easily accessible. We opted for different UI elements on the main screens to suit the respective needs, as well as a so called maxi-player to showcase all the additional information.

Castmi

Every app needs a cute little character to make it more delightful. Enter Castmi. This little meerkat helps users navigate, shortens loading times by making them more entertaining, and overall just gives a little extra to the users experience in the app.

Sadly, the recast app was discontinued in Dec 2024.
