![]() ![]() ![]() In countries like India, most international services cannot be accessed without resorting to workarounds like VPN or the likes of UnoDNS. While most TV channels in the country post their own shows to YouTube, home-grown services that let you watch international shows online are few and far between. We've written on this subject before, and if anything, the gap between pirated and legal solutions has just increased since then, with the latest versions of apps like TVMC and Popcorn Time especially underlining this. Not only do these apps work on your laptop, but also on your phone, and come with features like support for wireless display, and are generally also more reliable and faster than legal alternatives we've used. Not to mention everything is free without the hassle of geo restrictions. Popcorn Time launched earlier this year, and the app is now available for Windows, Mac and Linux users, as well as for Android and jailbroken iPhones. It includes features like Airplay and Chromecast support, and a built-in VPN so you can download movies anonymously.

To use Popcorn Time on your phone or computer, all you need to do is install the app - since it's not available on the Play Store, you will have to side-load it, but Android makes the process quite simple, and you can even download the file directly from your phone. Once the app is installed, just run it, and you'll see a screen filled with thumbnails of the most popular movies. A menu on the left lets you search, switch to TV shows, or switch between different genres. The whole thing is simplicity itself, and once you tap on a movie you can choose the picture quality and subtitle, and then just tap the Play Now button to start watching. For TV shows, you'll first tap the button to select the season of the show you want, and then the episode, but the rest of the process is the same. The film is downloaded as a torrent, and saved as a temporary file on your device, and it starts streaming after just a few seconds loading. ![]()
