What's included
1,240 titles across feature films, documentaries, and short films from 38 countries. We add 30–40 titles monthly and maintain consistent quality across the catalogue.

iOS, Android, Apple TV, Android TV, and web. Chromecast and AirPlay from mobile. Offline downloads on mobile. Two simultaneous streams per account.
