CotoMovies was a movie website that provided thousands of movies, series, TV shows, and documentaries for free. However, it was shut down due to copyright issues. Now many users are looking for apps like CotoMovies.

Here in this post, we have shortlisted 11 apps like CotoMovies for iPhone and Android users. Hopefully they can provide you with the same or better movie watching experience.

1.   123 movies

123Movies is the first CotoMovies alternative in this list. It was rebranded to GoMovies in 2017, but then changed its name back to 123movies by 2018.

123Movies is a popular movie and TV streaming service that many people are using to watch the latest movies and TV shows. Type inside the internet site, click on the film you want to watch, and you’re proper to move.

Although 123movies is popular, the service has faced legal challenges on copyright grounds. In some countries, the service is geo-restricted. This has led to a number of cloned 123movie sites.

Please Note: 123Movies was early this year named as the most popular illegal movie site in the world by the Motion Picture Association of America. Hence, using 123Movies to stream TV shows and movies in the USA could land you in trouble.

2.   Vudu

Vudu was founded in 2004 and in 2010 was acquired by Walmart. In April 2020, Fandango announced plans to acquire the service.

Vudu is an ad-supported, on-demand streaming service that does not require a subscription. It contains thousands of movies that are uploaded by the users itself and lets users watch full-length movies and shows, and many Vudu titles are free to watch (albeit with ads).

On Vudu, you can watch hits like “All Dogs Go to Heaven” and “Troy” for free. You’ll also have access to films like “Trolls World Tour” and “John Wick,” and TV shows like “Two and a Half Men” to rent or purchase. To search for content, users can browse based on movies or TV shows, genre, MPAA rating, or even based on a rating from review website Rotten Tomatoes. 

Vudu is available on iPhone, iPad, Android, Website, PlayStation, Xbox, Smart TV.

3.   Crackle

Another alternative to CotoMovies is Crackle. Crackle is another on-demand video streaming service which provides a strong library of movies and TV shows for free. Unlike most other free streaming services, Crackle has its own original programming in addition to content purchased from other companies.

The Crackle app ensures quick discovery of the content available on the platform. Viewers can search for movies and shows separately by genre or organize them alphabetically. It also provides curated categories such as Fandom, From Book to Screen, Movie Franchises and the science fiction-focused Stream Me Up, Scotty, as well as the standard Action, Comedy and Drama options.

Like the vast majority of free streaming platforms out there, Crackle is supported by ads before and during content. But the good news is that the ads aren’t too overwhelming and appear less frequently than during regular cable broadcasts. 

Crackle enables on-the-go viewing thanks to its compatibility with a wide range of devices, including computers, mobile phones, tablets, gaming consoles, set-top boxes and streaming players. 

4.   Pluto TV

The ViacomCBS-owned Pluto TV launched in 2014 and now it has more than 22 million monthly active users in the U.S. With Pluto TV, you can watch TV for free – yes, absolutely free! 

The ad-supported service offers more than 250 live channels, as well as on-demand movies and TV shows. Pluto TV’s channels are divided into sections such as Featured, Entertainment, Movies, Sports, Comedy, Kids, Latino and Tech + Geek.

5.   Tubi TV

Tubi is the leading free, premium, on demand video streaming app. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Francisco, the United States-based company also services Canada and Australia. In 2020, it was announced that FOX acquired Tubi for $440 million.

Tubi focuses primarily on movies and television series. While there is some newer content available, many users may find that the overall catalog is a bit dated. Its categories are pretty clever: they include “Not on Netflix” and “Highly Rated on Rotten Tomatoes,” among others.

The same with Vudu and Pluto TV, Tubi TV is free, but you’ll pay for it in the form of ads. 

Tubi TV is available on iOS, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung, Xbox One and Roku.
