Want the low-down on free movie apps in Playstore? We’ve rounded up three of the best:
The Latest Titles at your Fingertips
- CRACKLE
Here is an award-winning app that is already the favorite of 25 million users. With Crackle, you have easy access to current Hollywood movies as well as highly-rated TV series straight from the US. This app is entirely free with no membership fees that sneak up on you later. The manufacturers make their money by displaying video ads here and there.
The only downside is that users must be located in the US, Australia, Canada or one of 18 countries in Latin America. If you live outside of these countries, there is the option of installing a VPN or virtual privacy network. This works by encrypting your IP address so that it seems as though you’re located in the US.
A good, reliable option is Express VPN. You’ll have to pay for this service but they have a 30-day money-back guarantee if you’re not happy. Their cheapest membership plan comes in at $8,32 per month over 12 months.
2. VIEWSTER
This one is an animé lover’s dream. Viewster simulcasts the latest animé series directly from Japan along with subtitles in many different languages. Aside from animé though, you’ll also find full-length films, TV shows as well as original series, horror films, thrillers and hard-hitting documentaries.
Don’t expect the latest Hollywood smash hits on here however. Based in Switzerland, Viewster is Europe’s alternative to commercial media. Instead of mainstream movies, they focus on edgy, independent titles, foreign language features and original, one of a kind content. There is no need to sign up and usage remains entirely free. Like Crackle, Viewster earns its money by showing video ads before and after their movies.
3. FREE MOVIES
If black and white classic films are your thing, give Free Movies a try. With a selection of more than 5000 movies to choose from, all genres are catered for – from sci-fi and fantasy to comedy and musicals. This app makes use of HTML5 technology and not Adobe Flash Player as one would expect. It works by linking you to a movie database online. Bear this in mind as your phone will connect to the Internet automatically which may incur data charges.
Another point to note is that only the first month is free. Thereafter you need to pay a membership fee to continue on with the service. However if old Hollywood is your style, it may just be worth your while.
