Streaming app

Movies are a powerful medium – powerful enough to break boredom and shower us with hours of bliss. A good film can quickly shake off the tiredness of a long and hectic day. And they are particularly refreshing when you can watch them for free via an app. With that said, this is precisely where our list of the best free movie streaming apps comes into play. We've taken a good look at the most popular free movie apps, and we've selected a nice group of 100% legal options. Even though it might be tempting to go for piracy, we strongly advise you against doing that. As you're about to see, the following apps bring you more than what you'll ever need. They're legal, very simple to install and use, and you won't have to worry about malware either. And lastly, we want to say that many of our recommendations earn revenue via advertisements. So, seeing those ads is something that you can't avoid, and you might break the playback functionality if you try to use an ad-blocker. We're sure you'll agree that watching a few ads here and there is a low price to pay for entirely free content. Our first recommendation is perhaps the most powerful option on this list.

However, Kodi doesn't provide any content on its own, but you'll find hundreds, if not thousands, of fully legal add-ons that you can install on Kodi. We have to say that we're passionate users of Kodi, and we've prepared a series of he...

I’ve been writing and editing technology content for over five years, most recently as part of PCMag's consumer electronics team, though I also spent several years on the software team. Before PCMag, I worked at Neowin.net, Tom’s Guide, and Laptop Mag. I spend too much of my free time reading forums and blogs about audio and photography. In 2013, I started my Ziff Davis career as an intern on PCMag's Software team. Now, I’m an Analyst on the Apps and Gaming team, and I really just want to use my fancy Northwestern University journalism degree to write about video games. I host The Pop-Off, PCMag's video game show. I was previously the Senior Editor for Geek.com. I’ve also written for The A.V. Club, Kotaku, and Paste Magazine. I’m currently working on a book about the history of video games, and I’m the reason everything you think you know about Street Sharks is a lie.
