Minnow, a new app that combines streaming platforms, allows users to easily browse their libraries using a single app. Free to use, it offers a handy tool for discovering the best from each platform while sheltering at home.

With the growth in TV and movie streaming platforms, many people have subscriptions to several different streaming platforms at once. If they want to discover something new to watch, they need to check each one individually to find something to their taste. The Minnow app is designed to bring all platforms together so that users can browse the libraries for all of their favorite platforms.

The app brings together streaming platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Disney+ and others. It has a universal search function, which allows for searching through all of these platforms using just one search query. One-click streaming takes the user to whatever they want to watch. Users can also make playlists, which they can share with others. The app is free and available on iPhone, Android, Apple TV, and Android TV. It will also soon be available through other applications, such as Roku and Amazon Fire TV, as well as a web application.

As countries around the world have taken steps to encourage social distancing and isolation, it has had an effect on internet usage. Many more people are working from home or sheltering in place, meaning that more people are online during the day. According to data from Nielsen, streaming on television could rise by up to 60% based on people’s watching habits during previous crises. Three-fourths of US consumers have TV-connected devices and streaming subscriptions.

Considering the coronavirus, Nielsen’s research revealed that in South Korea, there was a 17% increase in TV viewing that coincided in a rise in the virus over a two-week period in February. In Italy, there was a 6.5% increase in TV viewing in the last week of February compared to the previous week, and almost 12% more in Lombardy, the region that was most affected by the virus. As more people in the US work from home or are unable to go to work, there may be increased use of streaming platforms and TV watching in general.

Minnow is currently available in the US, with plans to expand to Europe soon. It can be downloaded from the respective app stores for each application or device type and can be used on smartphones, tablets and smart TVs.
