No More Fomo. New Video Discovery and Sharing Platform "Centric App" Lets You Discover What's Happening Around You

NEW YORK, June 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Centric App, a new iOS video discovery app and broadcasting platform, launches today to enable users to browse, view and interact with video that's being shared around them on Centric and other video platforms. Centric's location-based video stream opens new opportunities for users to explore the unexpected and see videos uploaded to YouTube, Twitter and Periscope based on their location, not on who they follow or know. The user-adjusted radius for the mixed video stream can be set from street level to up to 22 miles.

B. Bonin Bough, noted digital thinker and Chief Media and eCommerce Officer at Mondelez International, has called Centric a "location based social lifestream" and "app to watch," noting "the connected stream is happening and people who can jump on that play are right on time."

Says founder CEO Vincent Gibson, "With the Centric App, people finally have a 'Nearby' video-discovery- focused application that's not dependent on other native users for content. The ability to discover random nearby content is something that's missing in many top applications We're confident that our users will enjoy the surprising and interesting things they find around them which, in an algorithm and follower-based stream, would never be seen. It's like being handed a new map to your neighborhood that has all sorts of stuff you didn't know existed before!"

With Centric, users can upload their own videos as well as watch, share and interact with short-form clips aggregated from other Centric users along with popular social media platforms such as YouTube, Twitter and Periscope. Centric plans to integrate more platforms as it grows, offering even more creators and publishers the opportunity to be discovered organically at a local level. Users can remain anonymous and can click through to the source platform to connect with, follow and friend the video creators they like, which also benefits both source platform and creator by attracting and growing audiences.

Says Centric angel investor Marcos Pagani, "Everyone loves being the first to discover new and exciting content and to know if something interesting is going on nearby. Centric offers the confidence that they won't miss a thing."

Centric, currently on iOS, can be downloaded from the app store at https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/centric-app
