Streaming and entertainment apps for Android
These are official streaming and entertainment apps for Android: places to watch films, series, anime and shows legally. Each page covers what you can watch for free, what needs a subscription, whether the free tier has ads, which regions the service works in, and how much data streaming uses. We also explain the app's sign-in options and how downloads for offline viewing work. APKPeer only lists services that hold the rights to what they stream. Apps built to stream pirated films, TV or live sport aren't listed, because they put your phone and your data at risk and they're routinely taken down.
