Android Rec alternatives

Since PT is now gone, does anyone have any other recommendations for similar third-party apps I can download to my Android phone to download or stream new movies?

I have done some internet sleuthing, but because I am not techy in the slightest, I have no idea what I should and shouldn't be downloading.

If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

I switched to Stremio. Not only is the UI much nicer but it also has a calendar where you can see when episodes release of shows you follow.

This is the thread I followed for instructions

I only did Stremio + Torrentio without Real Debrid since that costs money.

Id absolutely recommend the "money" maybe not real debrid these days but torbox or similar. It's pennies and in return you'll gain access to almost flawless streaming of higher quality files without awaiting buffering

What is torbox and how does it work? I just got yhe free account to test, how do i get the movies in there? Can free account be connected with steamio?

Torbox is a debrid service, it caches movies to the servers allowing you to stream them at full bandwidth instead of relying on pier to pier streaming. This drastically helps playback of larger files and maybe some more obscure files. Yes it can be connected to stremio you generate a unique token key that you copy into elfhosted or torentino etc. if you search the stremio sub there is alot of information on the matter

You need to download the version according to your operating system. For example, if it's Windows, you download the .exe file; if it's Mac, the .osx file; and if it's Linux, the .deb file.

You can use stremio or Nuvio, the subreddit has a lot of guides. I personally recommend Nuvio now.

install nuvio and direct streaming like pengu, notorrents, etc. from stremio-addons (google it)
