The ultimate guide for Showbox. Last year, much has changed in the way we watch movies and series. Netflix is clearly picking the benefits as well as other alternatives like Popcorn Time do their best. Traditionally, there was always a lot of downloaded before there was a service like Netflix. People are often willing to pay if there is a good service to choose from. And yet there are a lot of people wanting to watch films and series without paying for it. As mentioned Popcorn Time was a nice alternative. It could be used on any kind of platform and worked surprisingly well. The problem with Popcorn Time was that the database was still a bit sparse. A lot of movies and series were missing and not much is going on lately with the project. With Netflix, you will notice that a lot of series and movies are not available. Many US cable companies also have their own app so you also miss a lot on Netflix.
Altogether it is therefore not quite perfect. Except for one app, Showbox for Android. We use this app for over a year and swear by the huge database. There are at the time of writing more than 700 000! movies and let’s say 20000 series and counting. The best thing about this app is that it brings together everything that you were missing at Netflix and download sites. The choices are enormous. Whether you want to watch Game of Thrones, Pokemon or The Simpsons, everything is in it. The app will be updated at the time of starting with all new films and series that exist at that time. How it exactly works, I don’t know, but it works.
