[Gizmodo] Introducing Popcorn Time...for Android!

The app is a faithful reproduction of the original streaming website: Pick from a curated set of recent titles or search the catalog, then after a brief buffering period, the app streams like it was any other streaming service, which of course, it's not. It's simply piecing together the torrent from peers and ensuring what's directly ahead is loaded. The main difference from the original service is that, you know, it's an open source app so it can't ever really be killed except by some kind of ISP interference with the BitTorrent protocol.

 

The funny part to all of this? It's available in the Play Store, but don't expect it to be there for long. By now all of us know what Popcorn Time is and how it works, and if you don't, the quote above explains it. 

 

As said before, you can get the app right here on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dp.ws.popcorntime

(As a side note, I still think that Zona is the better product.)

I was thinking of downloading this app, until I read this: http://redd.it/24a7qd.

 

You should check it out, basically states that these developers are stealing code and what not. Just a heads up @TopWargamer

I love it installing

[Mauri]

It's by the time4popcorn guys, the same ones that the PopcornTime community explicitly said not to trust

Downloaded, tried watching 2 films, neither worked, one crashed my phone, did a hard reset, uninstalled. Will need to try Zona though, never heard of it.
