Most of us that live in the United States know exactly what options we have if we do not want to pay for a cable or satellite subscription. Those option easily include Hulu Plus and Netflix, but if you live outside the United States, what options do you think you have? With limited internet to begin with, the options are slim, but there is at least one app that is becoming popular with every new release. The app is called Popcorn Time and it is taking the mobile device world by storm.
The main draw for the application are international shows that are typically not put up on YouTube. There has been a battle raging for years to keep the pirated content from the internet and apps just like Popcorn Time. According to sources, the application will not only play perfectly on your smartphone or tablet, it will also play on your laptop and come with cool features like wireless display. At this point, the application is more reliable than any other application that you might have to pay to use.
The Popcorn Time application just launched this year and is available for those on the Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. If you do use a computer at this time, you can pick up the app for your Android phone. If you are one to have an iPhone that is jailbroken, you can also get the app installed. The big draw behind applications that toe the legal line is that they have VPN features to keep its users anonymous while they are using the application.
Support for Airplay from Apple and Chromecast from Google are included on the feature list for Popcorn Time. If you have been complaining about the interface that you are using with Netflix or Hulu Plus, reports indicate that the interface on the Popcorn Time app is miles ahead of the others. When you put together a top of the line application like Popcorn Time and it gains steam, using it is so much better when the experience is a smooth flow. One of the newest features includes offline viewing.
In order to use the app, you just have to download and install it from the Google Play Store. The application will have to be side-loaded to your phone, but Android has made that an easy process these days. Almost as soon as you have the application downloaded and installed, you can run it. You will be shown a list of thumbnails from which you can navigate around and enjoy the show.
