Popcorn Time gets new competition

If you love watching global shows along with the US, then you might have heard about the online streaming app Popcorn Time. If not then we would like to inform you that it is an online streaming app that looks and acts like Netflix but uses torrent links instead of hosted videos.

However, the story of the app has been a tricky one to follow. It's  been shut down and reborn again more times than you can count thanks to  the software being open-source. The last news report that we had heard  about this app was the recent seizure of its main site - popcorntime.io -  by the Motion Pictures Association of America (MPAA) and even despite  the same the makers of the app announced their decision to offer  browser-based experience called Popcorn Time Online.

There is also a PC version for this app for the ones who like to watch their shows and movies on laptop. Just  like Popcorn Time, this app also lets you to play and stream more video  formats than was possible on the app. However we are not sure it offers  the ability to stream the content directly to Chromecast, Airplay and DLNA.
