Movie apps have come a long way in a short amount of time. You can now basically watch full and free streaming movies and TV show on your mobile phone with a click of a button. The trick though is finding out the names of the apps. This is where we come in. Located below are the best apps to watch free movies and TV shows.

iShows.tv

The first time people use this app (or mobile webpage) they are left with an almost surreal feeling. How could I have not known about it? How does this exist? How does it work so well?

To answer those questions, I have no idea, all I know is that I continue to use it and so should you.

Even with my subscriptions to Netflix, HBO Go, Amazon Prime, and Hulu Plus I find a lot of my shows are still unavailable. This is where iShows.tv comes in. They have a bunch of the most popular TV shows available to stream on your iPhone, iPad, or Android.

They allow you to stream 4 videos a day. To watch more you have to become a premium member.

Check it out, you'll be pleasantly surprised!

CartoonHD

Some of you all might know this app, while some others will have no idea what it is. It vanished from app stores across the internet a few months ago but has made a return recently.

It can be installed on any phone (without jailbreaking) pretty easily. Once it is installed, you'll be able to watch pretty much any TV show or movie you want in almost perfect quality. This includes hollywood blockbusters and hit TV shows like Game of Thrones.

Once again, I have no idea who built this app or maintains it, but I'm not sure anyone does. It just exists.

To install the app;

1) (On a iPhone) Go to Settings / General / Date & Time and change the date to August 1st, 2014. (Time does not matter)

2) Click on this link; Cartoon HD Pro .IPA

3) You will be prompted to install Cartoon HD Pro. Press Install. The first time you open the app, you will receive a Untrusted App Developer. This is normal since you did not install the app through the App Store. Press Trust.

4) Click on category tab to see all the movies and tv shows!

NOTE: Content goes and comes at certain parts of the day. If you don't see anything, check back later.

Afdah

There are a lot of free movie sites like this one on the internet, but this site known by mobile users to be consistent and pretty easy to use. I wish it was responsive (looked good on a mobile phone) but it does still have a bunch of the newest movies available to watch on your mobile phone, so I won't complain too much.

Once you click on a movie you should be able to press play to start watching (pop ups may appear but just close them). If it doesn't work, click on a different "server" to see a different version of the movie.

MovieBox

The grand daddy of all movie mobile apps. Unfortunately you'll need to jailbreak your iPhone to get access to this app. If that scares you, you can also download it through a signing apps that a recommended at http://movie-box.cc/.

But once you do download this app, you'll never use another movie or TV show app. It has pretty much every TV show and movie out there. It's streams very high quality versions of the movies and TV shows. This app is the hidden secret of millions of mobile owners across the World and you'll immediately see why your first time on it.
