Australian-founded aggregated entertainment software app, Searchr.TV, has launched to market, offering integrated search across 15 free-to-air and paid platforms in one place.

The app aggregates all five free-to-air and ten local and international paid streaming providers, as well as news platform Lead Story, which includes 16 global publishers providing breaking news content and dedicated sports and kids zones.

Searchr.TV managing director, Tim Wheeler, said: "Searchr.TV solves the problem of knowing where to watch certain TV shows and movies across the many free-to-air broadcasters and content providers. However, as the entertainment landscape evolves, so do customers' expectations. Through our partnership with LeadStory, there are 16 news publishers, a dedicated sports zone, and we are building an audio proposition to listen to podcasts, music, and your favourite radio stations."

The app allows users to search for what they want to watch, with deep links to the content across all platforms. The app is currently available on TVs via a Google Play application and Google Chromecast, with Android variations for LG and Hisense, Samsung Tizen, and AppleTV variations currently in development.

"Our wide range of search filters sets us apart from our competitors. At the end of the day, when you are tired with only 1.5 hours to watch something with a user rating greater than 8, Searchr.TV will serve up the options and is a key point of difference, we take the hard work of searching away from the user," said Wheeler.

Searchr.TV provides personalised content discovery through its powerful AI recommendation engine, and can be used on multiple devices by multiple people in multiple locations simultaneously.

The app's pricing starts at $2.50 per month, with all new users offered a two-week free trial.
