Picking the best ones is, however, a whole different story, and something that you need to consider carefully to get the best possible experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a lot of apps are malicious in nature and will try to deceive you, we\u2019ve decided that we\u2019re going to be taking a look at a few of the best possible options when it comes to you and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metrofone.co.uk\/os\/android-mobile-phone-deals\">your Android device<\/a>, so that you get the ultimate experience. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>All 4 Tv App<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;570&#8243; img_size=&#8221;1280&#215;600&#8243; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, how about we take a look at All 4? Most people will recognise this little application as being part of Channel 4\u2019s services. It lets you watch your favourite shows from E4, More 4 and Channel 4, and it\u2019s all completely free. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This app has a lot of different features which will help you to enjoy streaming live TV. For example, did you know that you can download the content to watch when you\u2019re offline, or that there are 30 days worth of catch up programmes available all the time? And with a whole host of different content available, there\u2019s something for everyone to consider. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>BBC iPlayer App<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;571&#8243; img_size=&#8221;1280&#215;600&#8243; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next application which we\u2019re going to be taking a look at is BBC iPlayer. As anyone who lives in the UK will know, the BBC is one of the major broadcasting corporations in the country, as well as providing a news and weather service among other things. There\u2019s no doubt that they give a lot of essential services to the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it\u2019s their iPlayer app which we\u2019re interested in. This free app can provide you with all of the TV that you\u2019ve missed when it comes to the past few years of BBC television. As soon as something is broadcast to the public, it becomes available on iPlayer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s absolutely perfect if you\u2019ve missed something and need to make sure that you find the shows you\u2019ve missed, or just as a casual catch up on apps. However, you need to remember that if you don\u2019t have a TV licence, you\u2019re breaking the law by watching on the app. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>ITV Hub App<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;572&#8243; img_size=&#8221;1280&#215;600&#8243; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an application which is about as well known as the BBC and All 4 apps, but it caters to another core part of television. The ITV hub provides you with all the different ITV channels, which offers a wide selection of programmes to suit even the pickiest of viewers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From racing to comedy, there are all kinds of different options for you to take advantage of when you consider using this application. It\u2019s free to use like all the others, but does offer extra benefits should you choose to consider an upgrade. You can even use particular additional products to link up to a big screen, but don\u2019t be fooled! The quality of picture that you\u2019ll experience is still absolutely top of the range in the application and would work well on the majority of Android devices. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>SPB TV APP<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;573&#8243; img_size=&#8221;1280&#215;600&#8243; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something which isn\u2019t one of the conventional options is SPB TV, although don\u2019t let that put you off &#8211; this is still a great app for streaming TV free from your Android device. It\u2019s got a lot of features which make it easily an excellent option for people to consider. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a fully integrated TV guide which lets you quickly access channels and a system which is comprised of hundreds of different shows from a wide range of options. Plus, there are also other options like the ability to search via keyword, and also high-quality picture and audio throughout. It\u2019s definitely one of the more underappreciated star performers in the world of TV apps, and you\u2019d be wise to add it to your collection.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>TV Catchup App<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;574&#8243; img_size=&#8221;1280&#215;600&#8243; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for an application which is going to provide you with a consistent selection of TV channels and a high-quality streaming service to match, then this is the service for you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TV Catchup requires a valid TV licence to work, but it gives you a wide selection of channels to choose from which all offer a great variety of channels. BBC, ITV and a whole host of other channels besides are all available for you to pick from, and they all provide you with a host of options to spend your time with. You\u2019ll find that nearly every primary channel is on here, along with some of the different ones, so there\u2019s plenty of scope to flick between.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, these are some of the best possible choices that you could consider when it comes to trying to get a free streaming service for your Android phone. It\u2019s definitely a delicate area to try and navigate through. First of all, there\u2019s often some kind of hidden charge on these kinds of applications because unfortunately there are few things in the world which are actually free. Another concern that you need to keep in mind is that a lot of sites will attempt to steal your personal information while you use the app. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They might ask for things like your contact information, and in a lot of cases, this isn\u2019t needed at all to provide you with a streaming service. It just gives them information that they really shouldn\u2019t have, and you seriously want to avoid that. All of the apps listed here are pretty safe, so you\u2019ll be in good hands when it comes to trying to download them and enjoy a wide selection of different shows and TV. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to make sure that any app you download has a lot of mixed reviews and that most are positive because this will help you to identify the good from the bad.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As it turns out, there\u2019s a lot of different applications which let you stream TV live for free.
