Best Streaming TV Services
Over-the-Top (OTT) internet streaming services are more popular than ever. Although there isn't a perfect solution, these titles come close.
Stream and download popular movies and TV shows
Amazon Prime Video
For movie lovers; especially those with Amazon Prime
Amazon Prime Video has hundreds of thousands of movies, TV shows and original content available to stream or download. The helpful Watchlist feature makes it easy for you to add videos for later viewing. Auto Play is another useful feature that allows you to start watching the next episode of your favorite show automatically, which is perfect for binge watching! The service is compatible with your Apple TV and is included in your Amazon Prime subscription.
Why we love it
A vast expanse of movies and TV shows included with your Amazon Prime subscription. What could be better?
Netflix and chill with the official app of the streaming video service.
Netflix
It's for anyone who loves movies or shows.
Netflix has become one of the greatest services out there for streaming movies and TV shows to your various devices. On iPhone, finding new content to watch has gotten much easier. With the new navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, you'll now find four tabs: Home, Search, Downloads, and More. In previous app versions, there was a left-handed menu that featured profile switching, notifications, downloads, My List, and themed categories.
Why we love it
Netflix has one of the best streaming experiences in the iOS ecosystem. With millions of items in its catalog, offline movie downloading, and AirPlay / Chromecast options - Netflix is the top app in the App Store. The new bar at the bottom of the Netflix app on iPhone hasn't been carried over to iPad. It isn't known whether it will eventually find its way to the tablet version. If you like streaming video, you can't beat Netflix. Get the app now in the App Store.
