streamx295··on I built a $5/month TV app because I got tired of how expensive streaming is
I’ve been working on an Android TV/phone app that’s basically my attempt at making watching TV and movies a little simpler and more affordable.

The idea was pretty straightforward: give people a lot to watch without asking them to pay for a bunch of different subscriptions.

It has live channels, TV shows, and movies, with content available in multiple languages. I wanted it to be something where you can open the app, find something interesting, and just start watching without having to jump between a bunch of different services.

It’s currently $5/month, and it works on Android devices.

I’m still working on improving the experience, adding content, and making the app better. Building it has definitely been a learning experience, especially trying to figure out what people actually want from a TV app.

I’m sharing it here because I’d genuinely like to get some feedback from people who watch a lot of TV/streaming.

What’s one thing you wish your current TV/streaming apps did better?
