 The Top 6 Best Movie Streaming Android Apps You Can't Miss

The Android operating system has its share of shortcomings, but one area where it really shines is in the vast array of mobile applications available. Movie streaming apps are especially popular and there are plenty to choose from, which makes choosing the best ones hard, but not impossible if you do your research ahead of time. I've tested a lot of movie streaming apps on my Android phone and below are my top 6 recommendations, including app screenshots so you can see exactly what they look like before you download them. Without further ado, let's get to it!

1) Specto

Specto is an incredibly versatile movie app that will keep you entertained. It's compatible with both Chromecast and AirPlay and offers many different ways to stream your favorite movies. Whether you want to watch them online or download them for offline viewing, this app has a one-stop solution. Plus, it's entirely free!

2) MX Player

MX Player is a solid choice for those looking for an app that has robust, smooth playback and subtitles options. The interface is simple, there are plenty of customization options, and no ads. For full HD videos you'll have to download your media files before playing them, which can be a drawback if you don't want to do the extra work. But for a fully-featured video player with some extras at an affordable price, MX Player is hard to beat.

3) Showbox

Showbox is the best streaming app for movies and TV shows. From big titles to foreign classics, Showbox has got you covered. It also offers a wide selection of anime movies and TV shows on demand for your viewing pleasure. This isn’t just about streaming free movie and TV show content either. With this app, you can stream live sports from all over the world. The only  needs is an internet connection.

4) Movian

Movian is the only all-in-one solution for watching movies, tv shows, and live sports on your smartphone. One of the best features about Movian is that it doesn't require any monthly subscription fee in order to watch whatever you want when you want it. It even has free TV channels like CNN, HGTV, and TBS.

5) Popcorn Time

One of the most popular movie streaming apps is Popcorn Time. It's a program that enables you to stream videos on-demand without paying for each one. Furthermore, it has no ads and is completely free to use. The app has its share of glitches, but so far nothing that can't be fixed with a little effort. ##

6) Kodi (formerly XBMC)

If you're looking for a way to watch TV, movies, and video content on your Android device, Kodi (formerly XBMC) is the best streaming application out there. It's not just a media player- with this app you can also play games and listen to music as well.
