Company Update
The redesigned iOS interface aims to simplify discovery, broadcasting and replay as Digitalage pursues user adoption and revenue activation.
TEMECULA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 18, 2026 / Hop-on, Inc. (OTCID:HPNN), through its subsidiary Digitalage, Inc., today announced its redesigned iOS build is available for internal testing through Apple TestFlight, following completion of the new iOS user experience design on September 10, 2026.
Longtime Digitalage team member Neeraj Baipureddy has led the redesign since August 11, 2026. Digitalage has named him Lead Product Engineer and Head of iOS Design.
A general-availability date for the redesigned experience will be announced following completion of internal testing and any applicable platform review.
"We built the infrastructure. This design work is intended to make it easier to find and broadcast content and return to a replay. Digitalage wants those actions to be easily repeatable."
- Peter Michaels, Sr., Founder, Chairman & CEO, Hop-on, Inc.
WHAT THE NEW UX IS DESIGNED TO DELIVER
The published product demonstration shows how Digitalage's Create, Protect, Monetize framework connects to three elements of the redesigned experience:
- Live Discovery: A featured broadcast and ranked Top 10 organize live programming.
- Live Becomes Replay: Finished broadcasts appear in Recently Live, retaining their connection to the creator.
- Access Made Clear: Feed labels distinguish free, pass and subscriber-only content before playback.

The demonstration is labeled a product preview. The redesigned experience is intended to simplify discovery and content access; general availability remains subject to the rollout schedule above.
ADOPTION, CREATOR ECONOMICS AND REVENUE OBJECTIVES
The redesign's objectives are to improve the user acquisition funnel, support monthly active user (MAU) growth, strengthen retention and increase conversion to paid participation. These improvements support revenue activation and recurring revenue potential.
A network effect could develop if more creator content attracts returning audiences and those audiences encourage further creator participation. These are objectives and potential outcomes; this announcement reports no measured gains attributable to the redesign.
The previously disclosed Genesis model provides 85% of gross subscription revenue to creators, a 15% Platform Infrastructure Fee, and 50% of net advertising revenue generated by participants' content to Genesis creators, subject to program terms. July 1 economics report.
DESIGN AND ENGINEERING BEHIND THE REBUILD
Baipureddy oversees end-to-end product design and UI/UX, translating designs into functional user experiences while leading full-stack development of the Digitalage iOS application. His responsibilities span mobile engineering, API and backend integrations, content moderation, live-streaming workflows and monetization features, including the $9.99 content-pass purchase experience.
"Our design starts with what people came to do: find content they care about, join a live moment or share their own. We want the next action to be clear, with content access and creator controls easy to understand," said Neeraj Baipureddy, Lead Product Engineer and Head of iOS Design.
He personally led the end-to-end design and engineering of the following experiences:
Discovery and personalization: Home and Discover help users find live streams, replays and video-on-demand (VOD) content. The redesigned personalized For You Feed includes featured programming and engagement-focused content presentation. Automatically scrolling Trending Rails surface trending and popular programming.
Stream details and previews: Stream Cards and Details provide a clearer transition from stream cards to stream details pages and additional content information. Engagement-Based Previews autoplay within stream cards, with preview behavior informed by content-engagement signals.
Live creation and viewing: Create and Broadcast provides creator workflows for starting and managing live streams. The Live Player lets viewers join broadcasts, participate in live chat, react to content and view audience activity.
Paid content access: The Pass Purchase Workflow provides a $9.99 purchase experience that allows users to unlock eligible pass-gated content. Users encounter this workflow after selecting pass-only content and before beginning playback.
Replay and library: Replay provides recorded-stream experiences that retain synchronized chat after a live broadcast ends. Library includes watch history, saved content and access to available streams, replays and VOD content.
Creator controls and moderation: Creator Profile includes profile management, creator controls and content-visibility settings. Content Moderation provides moderation workflows supporting live streams, replays and video-on-demand content.
