10 Things WWE Must Add To WWE Network To Justify $14.99
7. A New Interface
“Functional.” That’s about the best thing you can say about the WWE Network’s current interface. It gets the job done and it’s relatively easy to navigate, but the Network’s menu system is blocky, ugly, and hampered by an archaic, dysfunctional search system.
The WWE Network looks a lot better than most of their competitors’ streaming services, but that’s not saying much. The UI has largely remained unchanged since the Network’s launch in February 2014, and it’s starting to look a little long in the tooth. WWE should take a leaf out of Netflix’s book and create a slick, dynamic interface that enhances the service’s presentation without hampering functionality, which should always be the main goal.
The Network looks passable on tablets, consoles, and other devices, but the web browser version is particularly basic and fails to do the product justice. Aesthetics aren’t the be all/end all, of course, and most viewers will be happy with the Network’s UI as is, but you should be expecting top quality in every department when paying $14.99 a month. In terms of design, we’re just not getting that at the moment.
