ShowBox is truly a boon to binge-watchers, movie buffs and basically anyone who’d like to watch and stream movies for free.
However, recent updates have shown a glaring downside to the app. Users started complaining of servers being down and “Video not found” errors. Since the number of people who use ShowBox has shot up, their servers are having a hard time coping with the extra load placed on them.
While ShowBox still remains our No.1 app to watch movies online, we’ve put together a list of apps like ShowBox so that you don’t have to skip watching your favorite movie while waiting for them to fix or replace their servers soon.

The only flipside of using this app is that the video quality is not really up to the mark but we love it nonetheless.
To make things a lot easier for users, Popcornflix also has a separate website just for kids called Popcornflix Kids and another website called Fright Pix for the horror enthusiasts.
Big Star Movies
If you want an app like ShowBox and also expand your movie horizon to documentaries and different languages, then Big Star Movies is the app for you. There are also a plethora of other movies that are otherwise hard to find on this app.
Millions of users flock to this app to download their favorite movies and explore new ones. The only flipside is that you’ll have to pay a small fee of about five dollars every month to get access to their full catalog.
Crackle
Owned by Sony TV, Crackle has a reasonable amount of licensed Columbia Pictures movies and TV shows that you can watch for free.
You can easily get the hang of using this app because of its simple user interface. If you’re mildly surprised and excited by Sony TV giving away movies and TV series away for free, Snap, Crackle, Pop, we’re going to make it disappear.
Users have pointed out that some of their favorite TV shows didn’t have all the episodes and that all of the videos are in standard definition. Crackle also doesn’t add a lot of new content to its shelf every month.
In any case, a list of apps like ShowBox wouldn’t really be complete without free services like Crackle.
