SnagFilms aims to provide exceptional services with their new term called Filmanthropy. ?Filmanthropy? is a phrase meant to inspire people through powerful content that can inspire the entire community to take action. So, we'll first see if this streaming app is up to par and then decide if it has the potential to live up to SnagFilms' expectations.
What is SnagFilms?
SnagFilms is a streaming service that offers users access to over 10,000 movies, TV shows, and documentaries. It's one of the most recognizable names in the streaming world because it has blockbuster content and it doesn't place ads randomly.
What should you expect from the SnagFilms App?
There is a super cool sign-up process where you can join the network using your Google or Facebook account. Even if you donât want to sign-in, you can guest the platform as a guest. However, I would advise you to sign-in because then you will be able to make the most of the features such as recommended films, accessing the queue, etc. If you sign up, you will be able to download the content on your device in case if you are into offline content viewing. Another perk of signing up is that the app tracks your stream progress and lets you continue a stream from where you left off.
User-Interface
The app's interface caught my attention instantly. Browsing and navigation are seamless, and there are well-designed menus that help you visit the specific page based on your interests. Content diversification is quite amazing, which helps you find a movie or TV show that fits your mood. The categories section of the app has all the genres you'd find on the website, and moving across different categories is not much of a hassle.
Great Compatibility
I accessed the movie app on a wide range of devices. It was available on Google Play Store, but it?s been removed recently. The app supports the majority of the devices and the stream playback is quite seamless on all these devices. You can watch HD quality content with little to no buffering.
Multiple Genres
SnagFilms has a vast library of content consisting of over 10,000 titles. This is due to the fact that each title is placed in a specific category, such as Documentary, Cult Classics, Crime, Animation, History, Short Films, Horror, Science, Action, Biography, Environment, Military, Thrillers and LGBT.
SnagFilms App Information
SnagFilms has been downloaded over 100,000 times from popular APK platforms. The app size is around 30 MB and can differ based upon the version you download.
How to access SnagFilms?
You can either search for the term "SnagFilms app" and click on the first link you find or you can access it directly: SnagFilms. I'm providing a direct link to Uptodown because it's much safer to download the app from the portal above than to land on a dicey APK website filled with malware and adware.
If you download this app from a website other than Uptodown, I would recommend using a VPN. This will protect your data and your device, as well as protect your identity.
Design
SnagFilms has a straightforward design with clean and simple elements. It's similar to other free content streaming apps with a homepage filled with genres and thumbnails divided into various sections. The dark background, blue text, and well laid out thumbnails help the app look clean. There are no more than three thumbnails in a row that comes off clean as compared to apps such as FilmOn.
App Homepage
The homepage on the app doesn't have any navigation buttons or menus at the top. You'll find categories such as Filmanthropy, Climate Change, Celebrate Pride, Foreign Films, Music, and Drama. Towards the bottom, you'll find four options - Home, Movies, Search, Menu. When you click on the Menu you'll be able to access various genres and user related information.
Inner Pages
Once you click on any title, you'll be redirected to an inner page. The inner page specifically, the stream page is somewhat cluttered. There's a title at the top, followed by an informative byline that features the "Runtime," "Release year," and "Genre." Towards the right, there's a "Queuing" section and "Close" option. Then comes the stream player which is followed by three buttons - "Download," "Add to Watch list," and "Viewer Rating." Under that, there's information about the Director, Cast, and Synopsis.
Content
There's no shortage of content on this platform. With over 10,000 movies and TV shows, SnagFilms has a library that is good enough to help you stream throughout the year. New and popular movies section is updated regularly and you'll find content from a wide range of genres. From Crime, Documentary, and Animation to Biography, Comedy, and Romance, you'll find everything on this network.
Some movies that are close to each other are kept in the collection so you can find them even if they're not in the same genre. For instance, movies such as Athletes & their Triumphs, Before They Were Stars, Youth & Education, and History Lessons are clubbed together. Once you watch a couple of movies, the app will start recommending you numerous titles.
SnagFilms doesn't have the latest and trending titles like you would find on Tubi. The options in the menus are smaller, and they cater to a specific audience. On top of that, there isn't much content for kids. Below are some titles that you would find on the app.
Movies
I kicked it, A Fighting Chance, Sink or Swim: Learning the Crawl in the Maldives, Senegalese Women, Sewing Hope, Letters from the Big man, India?s Hidden Plague, The Iran Job, Out in Silence, Inside Bob Dylan?s Jesus Years, We the People: The Market Basket Effect.
TV Shows & Original Content
I watched five TV shows and four titles I recommend. The original content on the platform is good and has something to offer.
Desktop/Mobile experience
If you want a seamless streaming experience on the SnagFilms app, it's advisable to have an internet speed of 5MBPS or above. I have a 32MBPS internet speed and my streaming experience on this platform didn't have any discrepancies at all. Even though I was streaming content in 1080p, it was a smooth sail. However, I have to say that even at 5 or 10MBPS, based on your speed and device, 780p or 1080p can give you a hard time.
I'm impressed with the streaming capabilities of this platform. I went in with zero expectations and I wasn't disappointed. The streaming player isn't the most advanced, but it does get the job done. You can change the volume, move back and forth, and enter the full-screen mode along with adjusting the video quality. However, there are no subtitle options and so watching a foreign film can be challenging.
Suggestions I have for SnagFilms
I like this app, but I think the developers could do more if they teamed up with a few major studios. The lack of blockbusters and trending movies is really hurting the app. On the other hand, it's great that they are working on the streaming issue and adding indicators so people know when ads will start playing.
Conclusion
If you're looking for high-quality films to watch, SnagFilms is a great option. However, if you're just interested in mainstream content, you won't find it here. There's not much of that on SnagFilms, anyway â mostly popular movie stars and franchises. But it's a good platform that can provide you with decent entertainment value.
