Crackle updates its movies and tv show list every month and the users can create their own watchlist for their favorite movies and tv shows.
LiveStream:
LiveStream is another easy to use live streaming application using which users can not only view events but also broadcast them. The add-free application offers a high definition broadcast system and unlike Crackle, the app is available on both iOS and Android platforms. Local news channels and weather reporters use LiveStream to broadcast their programs online. LiveStream introduced Twitcam using which users can use their twitter accounts too to broadcast events as well as chat with fellow followers.
Yidio:
This live streaming app works more as a video aggregator that collects videos from a lot of video broadcasters and then allows users unlimited access to all these videos. Yidio app; though available on both Android and iOS platforms; is compatible with only a few devices. And since the app collects videos from other video broadcasters, some of these videos do not come for free. The most annoying feature is that the application has advertisements in every video. Though this seems a good revenue earning strategy for the app; it is not the same for the user.
Viewster:
Viewster is another ad-supported application for viewing live tv shows and movies. With a license to broadcast about thousands of movies and shows from various languages, the application is available as a website and also available to download for Xbox users.
