See now how the Pluto TV app became my favorite for watching TV on my cell phone, and evaluate for yourself all the benefits that this app brings.
If you're like me and live in a rush, but you can't give up watching TV
Whether it's to follow a series, laugh at a reality show or even watch a news broadcast live, let me tell you about PlutoTV.
Seriously, this app has become like my pocket partner. And the best part is: can you use it without internet?, just the way I like it.
Because, let's be honest, you can't always count on a good connection.
I've lost my patience several times trying to watch something streaming with that video freezing every 30 seconds.
Then I discovered Pluto TV and, since then, my life has become much more practical.
What is Pluto TV?
For those who have never heard of it (or heard of it but never gave it a chance), Pluto TV app is a fully featured streaming TV app free.
That's right, no monthly fees, no mandatory registration. You just download the app and start using it.
He is very popular in Europe, us United States and is also gaining space in South Africa, because besides being free, it offers an experience very similar to traditional TV.
You open the app and choose between live channels or on-demand content.
There are movie channels, series channels, comedy channels, crime channels, reality shows, cooking channels, documentaries… even channels just with cartoons for kids.
It's like zap between channels, but on your cell phone.
What caught my attention the most
Right off the bat, what made me keep using Pluto TV was the super easy to use interface.
It doesn't have a bunch of annoying ads, nor does it require you to create an account just to view the content.
You enter and already have direct access to what's on.
And yes, the app offers the option to see offline content. Not everything is available for download, but there is a lot, especially on-demand programs.
Movies, TV episodes, documentaries. I usually download 2 or 3 episodes when I'm at home on Wi-Fi, and then watch them when I'm on the subway, waiting for an appointment or even during my break at work.
It works smoothly, without crashing, and the image quality remains great even without a connection.
Golden tip: take advantage of thematic channels
What I like most about Pluto TV are the themed channels. Like, there's a channel that only shows CSI all day long.
Another one only with old action movies. There is a channel that only shows romantic comedy. And the best part: everything is broadcast live, just like on regular TV.
And if you miss something, just go to the “on demand” section and look for it. Most of the things that are broadcast live are available to watch later, and that’s where the download and offline feature comes in.
Can you really trust it?
Of course. The app is from Paramount, that is, it is not just any application made in any way.
There's a whole structure behind it, and you can see that by the stability of the app. I've never had any problems with it crashing, and the subtitles work perfectly.
In fact, he has multiple language support, which is great if you're in Europe or South Africa, where the audience is very diverse.
You can watch a lot of things with subtitles in English, Spanish, French, even Portuguese depending on the region.
What about ads?
Yes, there are ads. But look, nothing exaggerated. It's much lighter than what you see on broadcast TV, for example. And honestly?
It's a very fair price for an app that gives you so much content for free.
I've used other free apps where you could barely watch 5 minutes without a bunch of ads popping up.
Pluto is much more relaxed in this regard.
Does it work even without internet?
It works, yes, as long as you download the content in advance. I've done this several times before hitting the road, or when I knew I was going to be away from home for a long time.
And I'll tell you: it was one of the best decisions.
Imagine yourself on a flight, or in a place with no signal at all, with an episode of a series, a movie, or even a cool documentary already saved on your phone. It's priceless.
And the download process is simple: you click on the content, select the download option, and that's it.
Then just access the “My videos” tab and watch whenever you want.
It is worth it?
Awesome. Especially if you don't want to (or can't) subscribe to a thousand streaming services. Pluto TV gives me access to a ton of cool content, free of charge, with the option to watch offline, and in an app that really works well.
I recommend it to everyone who wants practicality, savings and that feeling of “zapping” through the channels like in the old days, only directly on your cell phone and at your own pace.
And as it is well accepted in several European countries and South Africa, it is great for those who travel or live abroad and want something light, functional and affordable.
Conclusion
If you are looking for an app to watch real TV on your cell phone, without needing internet all the time and without stress, Pluto TV is a sure choice.
I use it all the time, I recommend it without any fear, and I think it will save you in many moments when you just want to relax and watch something cool.
And if you try it, tell me what you think! I bet you'll end up getting addicted to thematic channels like I did.
