Such problems are quite common for movie lovers who do not have either the time or resources to enjoy the latest flicks. But all those dark days are over! Enter the dragon: Showbox App.

Why ShowBox for Movie Streaming? 

This is a fantastic app which allows you to stream movies from the internet and watch it whenever you want. And best of all, It’s all free! That’s right! The app is completely free of cost you do not need t subscribe to anything. All you need is a fast and stable internet connection which can aid the movie streaming. When it comes to the use of internet connection for this app, you can either use 3G or 4G. For best results, use the latter since its speed is unparalleled and allows the movie to stream without any buffering cuts. However, if you use 3G, consider having an adequate data pack. Although the chances of it happening are quite slim, you do not want to have your data pack to run out in the middle of your favorite movie!

How to Get it?

The only catch here is that you cannot download the app from Google Play Store like the majority of apps out there. You need to download it to your computer first from a separate website and transfer it to your phone. Show Box App runs on android, tablets as well as Android-based devices such as Blackberry and Kindle Fire.

iPhone device and windows or Mac PC users, are you feeling left out? Well, don’t be! Pick up your droopy face and listen up! You can install this fabulous app just as well, although the process of installing may be different from android phone users.

Can’t wait to get it, huh? Yes, we understand. We couldn’t either!  Depending on your device, there are two ways you can download the app. First of all, we shall detail the process which android phone users can use to get it.

If you download it from your PC, there is obviously that additional headache to transfer the app to your phone. Downloading it directly to your phone is more preferable. Here’s why! You don’t want to get the app on your PC only to find that your phone cannot support it. That would be a huge waste of your time and effort.
