How to watch free movies and series on Popcorn Time for Android
Table of contents:
Some time ago, the Android and iOS mobile and web application Popcorn Time came to revolutionize the downloading and streaming of torrents on the Internet. After numerous vicissitudes, it has reached version 3.0 of its service. With an apk on the official page that works without problems. It is clear that a significant part of the content displayed on this platform is not legal, so we recommend that you use the tool carefully and look for legal alternatives to watch first-run movies and series.However, we explain how Popcorn Time works via mobile.
As you can imagine, each country regulates the issue of copyright in its own way, so when you download and accept the conditions of the app all responsibility for the use of the app in question it's yours. The Popcorn Time application doesn't host torrent files inside: it simply makes it possible to download or stream those that are already hosted on the Internet. Thus, Popcorn Time offers you the content ordered and ready so that you have to make very little effort. And at no cost.
How to watch series and movies for free with Popcorn Time
Where do I download the Popcorn Time app?
As you may have guessed, the Popcorn Time app is not available on the Play Store app store. To download it, we simply have to go to its official page.At Popcorn-time.to we have APK file available for installation Make sure you have enabled the permission to install applications outside of the Play Store. To do this, consult the security section of your mobile phone.
Once the APK is downloaded, install it like you would any other Android app. The app icon is a cute bucket of popcorn.
What is the Popcorn Time app like?
The design of the application is quite similar to a virtual video store. On the one hand, on the main screen, we have two tabs, one dedicated to movies and the other to series. By default the movies tab appears (we can change this later, for example, if we always want the series to appear first).If we slide our finger to the right, a sidebar containing the application menu will appear. Here we can change certain aspects of the application and filter the results by genre, for example, if you want to search for horror movies. We can also manage downloads and mark content as favorites to find it faster later.
How to start watching a movie or series?
It is very simple and intuitive to watch a movie in Popcorn Time. To do this, first, you have to search for the movie you want to see. Use the search engine for it. When you have located it, click on its poster. On this screen, we will have a large sign and two main buttons. One with an arrow pointing to the side and one pointing down. If you want to watch the movie in streaming, we will have to press the arrow that resembles the Play of a video player.If you prefer to download it and then view it without data, press the typical download button.
If you press the streaming button, a warning screen will appear telling you that you are going to be spied on and so on. This is done by the app to sell you its own VPN system. A VPN is a way to trick the IP, situating us as if we were downloading the content from a different place. You can ignore this page, simply, click 'Continue' and you're done The warning screen will continue, but below you will see the progress bar. It will go faster or slower depending on the people who have this file downloaded on their mobile device.
Sub titles in Popcorn Time
If you see that the download doesn't work, try to choose another torrent file.Yes, the streaming you are watching belongs to a torrent file that the application downloads and plays live. To do this, you just have to go back to the previous screen (the one with the large poster) and scroll down. Here we tell you where to click. Simply, go choosing between higher or lower quality until a download is favorable to you. On this screen we can also choose the sub titles and dubbing that we want.
When the movie has loaded, it will play immediately. On the playback screen, we can also choose between different sub title files (imagine that the default one is not in sync with the image), font size and even be able to synchronize them while we are watching the movie. Also, from this screen we can send the film to our smart TV or Chromecast.
What can we change from the menu?
The side menu of the application contains various configuration and search options.
- You can choose, first of all, if we want our Popcorn time to become all anime, both series and movies.
- Then, we can choose between different genres of series and movies to refine the search a little more.
- Each movie or series can be marked as a favorite. All we have to do is press the heart that accompanies the poster of the corresponding movie.
- In the downloads section, we can see how they are doing, in case one of them fails or gets stuck. In the trash can icon we can delete the ones we see so as not to take up storage space.
- In the settings, we can set the home page, the size and font of the default sub titles and the download speed. We recommend not touching the latter.
And this is how it works Popcorn Time.
