Show Box for Android is an aggregator of popular movies. It has a video player built right into it. This directory lets you not only watch movies online, but also download them right to your device. You can find videos to watch based on many factors (genre, duration, season, actor’s first and second choice, year of release, etc.). The database of the aggregator has both new and popular movies and TV shows that you can no longer rent.

What Showbox can do

Analyzes the film parameters set by the user in a custom search menu;

Based on the criteria you provide, it generates a list of movies, TV shows, and animated films;

It sorts the results according to the filter you chose;

When the cover is clicked, it gives a full summary of the movie;

It shows the streaming video for the chosen film;

If the hardware or internet connection is poor, it automatically changes the playback quality.

It chooses the best download protocol if the quality correction wasn’t enough to make playback comfortable;

Downloads (on demand) the video file that the user has chosen;

When many video files are being downloaded at the same time, it changes the download order and protocols on its own.

What’s more

A massive video collection, both new and old;

Automatic detection of “comfort” in viewing, if desired;

Smart downloader;

It has an easy-to-use interface with plenty of options that can be changed.

Cons

After unlocking the display on some (mostly Chinese) smartphones, the app crashes.

Some smartphones, especially Chinese ones, don’t work with external storage media. You have to download it to the phone’s internal memory and then move it to the memory card manually. (Note that if the phone’s “native” memory fills up to more than 90%, it needs to be serviced.)

It doesn’t remember movies you’ve already watched, and you can’t start watching again “from the same place” after closing the app.
