Existing App

You are the project manager / product manager / business analyst for an already launched Android

App for a Premium Subscription Video service. The current Android app supports a single paying user

account. In this service, the user is not able to watch any video at all without having a subscription.

New App Feature : Multiple User Profiles

Multiple User Profiles allow different members of the paying user’s friends and family to have their own

personalized App experience, built around the TV shows and Movies they enjoy. This new feature will

allow a fixed number of individual profiles within a single paid subscription account.

Each profile allows for its own:

 Name

 Avatar Image

 UI Language preference

 Featured and recommended titles based on profile preferences and viewing habits.

 Recent Searches

 Watch History

 Favourites

 Enable/Disable Push Notifications

The subscription user account can set a profile to be a kids profile with appropriate parental control

rating allowance set. This is to prevent a kid getting access to inappropriate content for their age.
