How to Find the Best Apps For Streaming Your Favorite TV Shows & Movies

Wazzup Pilipinas!

If you love watching tv shows and movies, then you probably already know about apps that can help make the experience better. But even if you do, there are thousands of them on the market, so it can be really difficult to find ones that best fit you and your viewing needs.

After this idea occurred to us, we began to do some research to see exactly what was out there and how you might be able to separate the good from the not-so-good. In the process, we found a list of the top 10 apps in this category, which we then used for some additional research (sort of like our foundation for what a good app looks like).

Best 10 Apps for Streaming Movies & TV Shows

What resulted were the three tips we put together tomorrow below. If you follow these tips when choosing an app, we’re confident you’ll be able to find exactly what you’ve been looking for - and possibly even more!

Watch TV for Free

You may be surprised to discover that not all streaming services have to have a monthly subscription fee to let you watch content. If you need to be able to view your favorite shows on a budget, there are a lot of great options for streaming free TV shows and movies.

Keep in mind that if you choose this route, you will likely find that there are ads or commercials between breaks in the content. This exists so you can continue to watch your favorite show, season after season, at no cost to you. With free streaming service apps, you can binge watch with ease, -  your wallet will thank you for it!

Browsing What’s Up Next

Often find yourself not knowing what you want to watch next? You’re going to want to look for an app that has easy-to-navigate TV series and movie lists so you can easily determine what’s up next. 

Apps like Netflix categorize all their titles into groups and are constantly adding and removing titles to provide fresh content. This includes new releases as well as seasonal content, so there’s always something new and interesting.

Some movie and series streaming apps may pair you with title recommendations that are a good match based on the things you’ve watched in the past. 

If you don’t want to waste time watching searching through content that you don’t know if you’ll like, these are good apps to find. The app algorithms work similarly to music streaming sites in that they find the titles most similar to what you’ve watched in the past. 

They also take into account what you watch most frequently. As a result, new series and movies are always a click away.

Finding What’s Available Now

The lists of streamable shows on services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video can be a great way to familiarize yourself with what’s currently available on most streaming apps. 

Many platforms sort their titles into specific groups to make everything easier to find; use these groups to simplify your browsing and stay up-to-date.

Learn more about certain shows or movies by selecting an app that provides movie details, like a plot description as well as information about the director, cast, and other talents. 

You may also want to find streaming apps that let you watch trailer previews, so you can get a sense of what a movie or series is about before you sit down to watch it.

Know exactly what you’re looking for? A streaming app that lists titles by genre or in alphabetical order can be extremely helpful when it comes to finding specific movies that you’ve been meaning to get to while simultaneously making sure they are included in your favorite streaming platforms.

Conclusion

These three tips have been extremely beneficial for us when looking for new streaming apps - whether it’s streaming TV shows or movies. As long as you keep this at the forefront of your mind, you’ll be able to easily avoid all those apps that don’t have what you need and embrace all those apps that do.
