Now more than ever, people are looking to watch movies and shows via android and iOS apps. But which ones are rated the best? If your budget is tight then you’ll be looking to cut your outgoings and expensive Sky and cable packages will possibly be the first to go.

So with all this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of the best movie apps for android devices, all of which are completely free.

It’s also regularly updated with new content, so you’ll always find something new for your viewing pleasure – an essential factor right now, with us all spending more time than usual streaming content. Again, it’s a third party streaming service, so all of the content is hosted on third party servers, but it’s easy to use and your favourite content is still only a couple of clicks away. A nice feature is the access to related information, including imdb reviews and suggestions for similar movies you may enjoy, so this is definitely one for movie aficionados.
