In the past decade cell phones have improved by leaps and bounds. We've gone from being able to make calls and play snake, to being able to browse the web, read blogs, face time, download and use any app on the market all from the palm of our hand. As they get faster and screens get bigger, we have began to use our phones less for making calls and more for entertaining ourselves. So let me tell you about TVMC.
TVMC is a free application for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS (requires jailbreak) that makes video streaming incredibly easy. Imagine it being like Netflix or Hulu, except there is no monthly charge and you aren't limited the small selection of movies. Using TVMC you could watch almost any movie made in the last century. Don't take my word for it though, install it and try it out yourself!

Now this app can be used on any platform: Android, Windows, iOS (requires jailbreak), Mac and even Linux, however for this blog post I'm going to focus on Android. If anyone needs help installing it anywhere else leave a comment down below and I will gladly help you out!
Disclaimer: This might not work on older devices.
So first I'm gonna go over how to install it, then I'll do a quick review.
Step 1: First you're going to have to allow your phone to install apps from unknown sources. (For those of you that don't feel comfortable changing the settings of their phones, let me assure you that I have personally done this and it is safe.) To allow this we're gonna go into our phones settings, then find the security settings, and finally allow installation of apps from unknown sources.
Step 2: Using the browser on your android phone follow this link.

You might get a warning saying that the file might harm your phone, this is basically your phones way of telling you, "stranger danger, I don't know this file." Don't worry, I have downloaded this and installed this file, it will not harm anything.
It should be downloaded within a couple minutes, a notification will pop up in your notification bar, press it and install it. It should install quickly, once it opens it might ask you to finalize the installation, this will take another minute or two. In total downloading and installing this took me seven minutes!
Step 3: ENJOY!
Usually I can find any show or movie that I want to watch using Exodus (Left most box under videos). If you press that it gives you a couple pages that help you search for what you want. Right now when I downloaded this I searched up "Arrow" (I recommend this show by the way, its AWESOME!) just to make sure that I did it correctly. AS you can see it did indeed work. So have fun!
Pros: Everything!!
seriously though, this is great when you have downtime, if you're not near a TV, or as a way to entertain the kids. In almost every way this app made my life more enjoyable.
Cons: It takes about seven minutes to install, but that's about it really.
Review: This is actually a great application, I have it on my android, my Ubuntu laptop and my windows desktop. One of the things that I enjoy so much about this is that you can usually find an episode up an hour or so before it has actually aired. Or if I ever miss a show I don't really have to worry knowing that I can come back at anytime and find it here. That being said, you do sometimes run across a slow stream that buffers every minute. That might ruin the whole thing, but in my experience that doesn't happen often enough for me to rate it down.
5 out of 5 stars!
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
