Tech Startup’s App Is Saving You From Signing Up For Another Streaming TV Subscription

 

Between Netflix always raising their prices and the explosion of streaming networks in recent years, many people are now paying for multiple subscriptions to different TV platforms. With each one adding up month after month, it might feel like it’s not too far off from paying for cable. To save you money, one startup’s app can find where to watch shows and movies for free through non-subscription-based TV services like Sling TV, Tubi, Pluto TV, and others.

 

Gatsby Frimpong is the co-founder and CEO of Gatsby TV, the tech company that developed an ingenious app offering a fast and fun new way to discover television shows and movies. It brings all your streaming services into one place where you can see if you’ll have to rent, buy, or subscribe to watch something. The platform also checks through the growing number of free networks where you can find TV shows and movies that won’t cost you anything to use. Their app’s search functionality can even save you time as according to their user surveys, most people are spending up to 30 minutes or more trying to find something they want to watch. 

 

The Gatsby TV app is seamlessly bridging the gap between our screens and social lives. Launched just a few months ago and with 100,0000 users the application lets you see what individuals you follow have watched recently and allows you to send recommendations of shows or movies to friends. The company is taking those offline conversations we always have with each other about what we’re watching and bringing them together for you on any device.

 

Gatsby is a Stanford University graduate and his extensive experience includes engineering jobs at Apple, Microsoft, and Google. He can provide brilliant insight on the state of streaming networks and:
