RefNet

24-7 Christian internet radio streaming app

Overview

We partnered with Ligonier to modernize an aging internet radio platform through a full brand and product refresh. The result is a seamless listening experience across web, mobile, smart speakers, and TV.

Four App Store panels for the RefNet iOS app — Listen Anytime, Anywhere · Time Traveling · Time Shift · Bookmark Content — each over an iPhone screen

Radio reimagined

We took everything people love about live radio and brought it into a modern context. Then we layered in powerful features that unlock a new kind of flexibility:

Time Shift

Listeners in different time zones stay on the same broadcast schedule. Whether you’re on the east coast, west coast, or overseas, you’ll hear the same programming at the same local time.

Time Travel

Missed a show? Start from earlier in the schedule and catch up at your own pace without losing the feel of live radio.

Bookmarking

Listeners can tap to save a show or sermon for later. It’s like favoriting a podcast, but built for the flow of broadcast content.

The RefNet iOS Bookmarks list on a green card — saved programs filtered by All, Shows and Shorts, each with its series and running time

“The entire process was great, really felt like you listened to and responded to our needs, provided valuable consulting, and the end result is really great and so much better than what we had!”
