After 5 months of development we just launched our IOS mobile app. This is a huge milestone for Midwest Streams. We previously had the burden of requiring our customers to purchase cameras and expensive live streaming equipment.
With the recent advances in mobile technology, iPhone cameras are just as good as the video cameras we were previously sending out. This means that we can stream the funeral directly from our customers mobile device, without losing quality.
Our app provides us some huge competitive advantages as well. Our app is the only live streaming app in our space that allows users to record the funeral while live streaming. This is huge for us! Occasionally streams fail, and this is devastating! The worst day of a family's life is made worse by the failing technology of a funeral. Our app gives us the power to have a backup recording of the service even if the stream fails.
Very proud of our team for being able to deliver on this hard business requirement.
