Context
- Historical mobile RTL II product spanning the web portal `go.rtl2.de` and the Android app `RTL II go!`
- Combined discovery, schedule awareness, feed-style extras, competitions, and lightweight interaction in one mobile offering
- Keeps the entertainment brand active during playback and between broadcasts
Video was only one part of the product. Discovery, updates, schedules, and lightweight interaction kept the RTL II brand present between broadcasts.
The app also combined feeds, competitions, promotions, and reactions around the entertainment content, giving people reasons to return outside longer viewing sessions.
Core differentiator
RTL2go / RTL II go! spanned web and app touchpoints. Videos, show directories, TV programme pages, music, competitions, trends, and show extras formed one small mobile product family.
The mix supported frequent, short visits through feed browsing, quick reactions, and promotional participation. Long-form viewing was part of the experience, but it did not have to carry the product alone.
What the product delivers
- Feed-style video consumption on mobile, with clips and entertainment content presented for quick, repeat viewing
- Web video browsing and a show directory on `go.rtl2.de`
- TV schedule pages with cross-promotion into catch-up viewing
- Feed-style mobile cards for news, backstage content, music videos, quizzes, and games
- Participation-oriented features such as casting calls, promotions, and competition-like mechanics
- Legal and support touchpoints across the mobile web and Android product

Project context & sources
RTL II GO is an RTLZWEI product. Members of today's BasalBit team contributed to the product before BasalBit was founded.
The original store presence is no longer live, so the product screens shown here come from preserved Android archives.
