- Popcorn Time, one of the most popular piracy apps of the last decade, is back from the dead once again.
- Popcorn Time originally launched in 2014, offering pirates a safe way to illegally stream TV shows and movies without having to download any files individually.
- If you decide to try Popcorn Time, know that your ISP might issue you a warning or even suspend your account, as all of the content is hosted illegally.

We’ve been writing about piracy in the entertainment industry for years, but few apps have caught our attention the way Popcorn Time did more than half a decade ago. In 2014, long before the likes of Disney, Apple, HBO, and NBC were launching their own dedicated streaming platforms, the concept of a sleek, feature-rich “Netflix for piracy” was one that took the internet by storm, and six years later, Popcorn Time is trying to make a comeback.
We are expecting to release Popcorn Time beta 1.2 for iOS in the next 3 weeks with many improvements, bug fixes (thanks for the awesome QA on our forum!!), Chromecast and Airplay support and a FREE built in VPN! But the most exciting news are. We are working hard getting Popcorn Time for iOS TO BE AVAILABLE FOR NON JAILBROKEN DEVICES.

As spotted by Motherboard on Tuesday, a new version of Popcorn Time was released within the last few days. As with previous versions of the piracy app, Popcorn Time version 4.0 is free to download, easy to use, and features a massive library of TV shows and movies, including some that are still in theaters.
If you’ve never used Popcorn Time before (and we’re not recommending that you do, especially considering that this is a pretty bad time to give your service provider any reason to cut off your internet), the reason that it took off the way it did in 2014 was because of how it simplified the pirating process. Rather than forcing you to dig through potentially malware-ridden websites for links that may or may not contain viruses, Popcorn Time was malware-free, featured a sleek, clean interface, and would start playing content with the press of a button.
Popcorn Time Update Windows 10
Unsurprisingly, that ease of use made the app extremely popular, which is why Popcorn Time has been shut down so many times. In the years since it first launched, new teams have taken the lead on the app’s development, new sites have come online to host the app, and countless forks have been distributed. There have even been other projects that have used the same name, but, by all accounts, this appears to be the latest “official” release.

The timing of the release does not appear to be a coincidence, though, as a tweet from the Popcorn Time team calls the new version “Love in the Time of Corona Version 0.4.” Now that we’re all stuck inside, even the endless depths of Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video begin to look a bit more shallow, so if you’re willing to take a risk to watch brand new shows and movies (and you have a VPN locked and loaded), the “Netflix of piracy” is back. For now.
Popcorn Time Update Download
The functioning of Popcorn Time is very similar to its version for the Windows: the application will use the file .torrent of the movie or chapter you want to see, and what will be playing on 'streaming' in our terminal. For this reason, it is highly recommended to have a WiFi connection when you first use the app.
On occasions it is possible that the video file is stored in the memory of our terminal, which is why it is recommended to clean the temporary files folder of Popcorn Time once in a while.
The interface of Popcorn Time is elegant and intuitive. From your first screen will allow us to quickly access any of the latest releases available for download, enabling access to the series section or the search tool with just a tap on the screen.
Popcorn Time is a tool for playback of movies and series, that will delight the amateurs of this kind of audiovisual material. Needless to say, that the application is much more useful on tablets or devices that allow us to use Android on the tv. By Andrés López
