6 Best Free Apps for Streaming Movies – This list of free movie apps will put thousands of free streaming movies at your fingertips. Install them on your smartphone or tablet and you are ready to watch the movie of your choice no matter where you go.
tube
This app looks almost identical to Tubi’s desktop site, but it’s so mobile-optimized that it’s super easy to use. All the same genres and search tool are available in the app, and all movie covers are big enough to see without needing to touch them. There are tens of thousands of movies and shows to choose from here.
Choosing a movie will take you to its description page, where it shows the release date, length, genre, and similar titles you might like. “Like” or “Dislike” a movie to teach the app what it should recommend to you in the future.
You can download Tubi for your phone, tablet, streaming devices and smart TVs.
Prime Video (Freevee)
It might not seem like Amazon Prime Video belongs on this list, but there’s actually an entire section of the app that only lists the movies and shows that Amazon lets you watch for free. This service is called Freevee (formerly IMDb TV).
Something we especially like is how these films are organized. There are the typical categories to help you find popular and recently added movies, as well as genre-specific lists for comedies, dramas, etc. But within each list, you can further refine results by subtitle language and genre.
On the free page there are also exclusive collections such as Movies of the month, Culture Rated | Black voices and Hispanic heritage.
red box
You can watch free on-demand movies available on Redbox via the mobile app. Just choose WATCH FREE from the menu to find all the movies with ads that you can stream online.
One way this is one of the best free movie apps is how the movies are organized. It’s easy to see which ones are leaving the free section soon, which movies have recently been added to the collection, and popular free movies. They are also organized by genre.
The app runs on Android, iPhone and iPad. You can also stream these free movies on your Apple TV, Roku and Chromecast.
pluto tv
Pluto TV is a versatile service that has apps on a variety of smart TVs and smartphones. You can use it to watch live TV and movies for free, as well as stream movies on demand.
Their movies are available in all regular genres. You can also see most recently added movies and popular movies. Since Pluto TV also has live movies, you can watch them if they’re on; there are several channels dedicated exclusively to movies.
The app lets you hide channels if you’d rather not watch movies from specific sources, as well as view descriptions of movies that are playing later but aren’t live right now.
There are several ways to stream Pluto TV. The mobile app works on Android and iOS.
The Roku Channel
The Roku channel is another source of free movies. The app isn’t all that interesting as it looks a lot like the Roku website (which is pretty bland), but there are tons of genres to choose from and you can start watching right away because it doesn’t require a user account.
Go to the Roku Channel tab at the bottom to see all the free movies this app offers. You start with Featured Movies and movies that were recently added to their collection. Below these lists are categories that list things like comedies, action movies, titles not on Netflix, historical movies, and more.
There is also a live TV area with channels playing movies. Of course, your options are more limited than with movies on demand, but it’s a great place to visit if you’re not sure what you want.
The app also serves as a remote control for Roku. It runs on iPhone and Android.
Kanopy
Free Kanopy Movies are only available if you have a library card at a supported library. Once you log in, you can stream tens of thousands of free movies right from your device.
Movies can be searched by genre to find adventure movies, animal movies, fast motion, and more. Each movie has a class
