New app revolutionizes streaming with seamless discovery and social sharing

Streamline is a groundbreaking mobile application that combines cutting-edge mobile app development expertise with social media functionality to simplify how people navigate the complex world of streaming.
The free app specializes in helping users track, schedule, and share their favorite streaming content with ease. Currently at the end of its initial app development process, Streamline is now available for download on the Apple App Store.
Founded by Cleveland native Ryan Schrieber, this app idea addresses the frustrations of users struggling to find where their favorite shows or live sports are streaming. This challenge has only intensified as more live sports transition away from traditional cable networks, making it increasingly difficult to keep up with where games are airing.
Streamline offers user-friendly solutions to common streaming challenges. At its core, the app enables users to quickly find what they want to watch and when they want to watch it — all from their smartphones.
By focusing on market research and employing agile development methodologies, Streamline delivers a high-quality, end-to-end mobile application designed to meet real user needs.
Addressing Discovery Challenges
Discovery was another major pain point that Streamline sets out to solve. To tackle this, Streamline introduces a social component where users can share playlists, rate shows, and explore what their friends are watching. This fosters a community of entertainment enthusiasts, enabling users to easily find recommendations based on their friends’ watches.
Filling Industry Gaps
Don Pawlowski, Co-Founder & CTO, and Brandon Wetzel, Founding Engineer, lead Streamline’s mobile application development team. They continuously adapt to user feedback, creating in-app solutions to frustrations with today’s streaming landscape. Streamline offers a simple, one-stop-shop framework for finding content across multiple services — something many other apps fail to achieve.
Currently, very few programs offer comprehensive insights into what’s available across different streaming platforms, which is an increasing problem as more networks create their own apps. And when such tools exist, they often exclude live sports, even though it's the biggest target audience of streaming content. On the other hand, ESPN’s new web application, “Where to Watch” focuses solely on sports, while ignoring other media. Streamline bridges this gap, becoming the first app to combine movies, television shows, and live sports in one seamless experience.
By offering cross-platform compatibility, an intuitive app design, and a responsive development process, Streamline promises an evolving, easy user experience that is set to redefine how people interact with entertainment.
What It Means For Ohio
Streamline’s success serves as a beacon for Ohio’s tech ecosystem. It demonstrates that impactful innovation can thrive in the state’s growing tech and eCommerce hub. The app’s success sets a precedent for Ohio entrepreneurs, highlighting how strategic application development, thorough market research and MVP ideation, can lead to a flourishing business.
With team members based across Ohio, Schreiber’s Cleveland roots play a vital role in the company’s journey. By tapping into Cleveland’s sports culture and community-driven ethos, Streamline is not just creating a digital product but building a scalable, community-focused platform that reflects the city’s values.
This innovative app development project isn’t done yet. The app continues to evolve, incorporating user feedback to enhance its interface and introduce on-demand updates. These ongoing efforts underscore the potential of Midwest innovation in delivering top-notch software solutions and creative, cost-effective UX design.
