The internet acts as an infinite resource for entertainment, where we get to see movies, listen to songs, play games, socialize online. However, games and songs can be taken offline on our mobile phones; it is a bit difficult to carry all the movies we love on our mobile phones. Even extending the memories of our devices would give us choices of carrying a few movies. Previously, we used to see videos and movies online through the internet browser, which generally uses the Adobe Flash Player plugin. Such arrangement cannot be done for our mobile phones; it is very technical and difficult.
Thanks to the cloud server technology and the development of dedicated mobile apps which do not require any technical knowledge to see online streaming movies and videos. There are unlimited movies out on the internet, and there are several apps that let us access them. Good for all us Movie Buffs!

Conclusion:
All the apps we have read about above, are widely used, and available on both Android and iOS platforms. All of them are free to use and offer an extensive library to choose the content from. There are other movie and TV show streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Instant Video, but they are all paid apps, and the 5 apps mentioned above in the article offer a perfect alternative to Netflix, Hulu etc. However, Youtube is the biggest video sharing platform in the world and lets users view and post their videos on the go.
I have also found a huge list of 30 free movie streaming sites where no registration is required to start a streaming, you can find the list here. There are also many other good apps not directly available on Google play store or on Apple app store. Recently Showbox has created a lot of buzzes.

Also, there are several movies and TV shows which are available on YouTube, however, the purpose of YouTube is video sharing and not movie streaming. Thus, the list of 5 movie streaming apps listed in this article, are our picks for good and never ending free movie entertainment.
