With subscription services on the rise and every company that provides media shoving a streaming subscription in your face, it’s no wonder piracy is on the rise once again. What was once a curb on media thievery through Netflix and a handful of other providers has now become a saturated and overwhelming streaming industry leaving users once again searching for ways to watch movies and TV shows for free.

However, there are no shortage of applications out there that cater to those wanting convenience of media all in one place or the free content. Below are the 3 we see that seem to pop up everywhere.

LeonFlix

LeonFlix is the most lightweight of the 3 applications here. While it is also the newest, it also has a few less features. It’s fast, clean and customizable through modules. You can find things to watch using the built in search feature or by entering your own torrent magnet link. Video files must be mp4 however. LeonFlix has one feature that sets it apart. The “Watch Party” feature. Want to watch something with your friends? Create p2p watch parties with synchronized video playback! LeonFlix does not have any mobile apps or an APK at this time. See our article on LeonFlix for more details.

Leonflix is a modular search tool for content. Its modules crawl video/file hosting websites, extracting the videos hosted on those sites for playback within Leonflix.



Modules extract only the desired content that streaming sites provide, filtering out all the pop-ups and adware that have been cut into the product.



Since Leonflix is still in beta, users may experience some bugs. We’re actively working to fix those bugs while pushing out new features. You can join our community at r/leonflix to report bugs or make feature suggestions. We also have a Discord server!

Popcorn Time

Popcorn Time is well known and has been around since early 2014. Packed full of movies and TV Shows, Popcorn Time uses a P2P torrent streaming protocol pulling most of the content from the popular YIFY torrent databse making streaming easy due to their small file size releases. Popcorn Time is also available for Linux, Mac, iOS and Android devices.

Watch any movie or TV Show as many times as you want. All you need to get started with Popcorn Time is a proper internet connection.

TeaTV

TeaTV seems more like a webui. When you open it, it may seem a bit overwhelming at first because of all the buttons and menu items. But rest assured, once you get to know your way around, it’s not so bad. Countless movies and TV shows line the main “Discover” page showing you what’s popular reaching out at you making you want to click and watch right away. The design is dark and sleek like any desktop streaming application should be. Not only do they have a desktop application, but TeaTV is also available for Android so you can side load it on FireTV or Fire Stick.

TeaTV is an Android app which allows you to watch, stream and download FREE and 1080p HD TV Shows and movies on your Android devices. It provides almost any TV shows and movies. Absolutely free. You can download them on your Android device or watch online. Watching movies and TV shows are the best entertainment!

How could companies provide content at a reasonable price in a central location like this? The answer is they can’t. The free content isn’t the only thing that brings people to use apps like these. It’s the ability to access everything in one place. Convenience. I doubt people are out there actively seeking ways to watch movies and TV shows for free just to upset corporate companies or because they simply cannot afford it. If the content is not convenient to the end user, they will seek other ways to make it so. Having dozens and dozens of streaming subscriptions just isn’t convenient.

We don’t condone piracy here and we advise you use any 3rd party apps like these with caution. Streaming movies and TV shows could be in violation of copyright laws.
