Stremio on iOS
Unlike other 3rd party applications that do not have installation processes for iOS devices, Stremio is also available for download via the Apple App Store.
This is a fabulous addition for those of us who use iPhones/iPads as we can now get our favorite Stremio content on these mobile devices.
Use our guide below to install Stremio on iOS:
- Open the Apple App Store and search for “Stremio Lite”. Make sure to input the full term as just searching for Stremio will not prompt the proper results.
- Click Get.
- Log In with your Stremio Account details.
- You can now access your addons, media, and more.
Stremio Features & Details
There are several features available with the Stremio application that will make your experience even better.
Categories
The categories offered by Stremio include Discover, Library, Add-ons, and Settings. Inside the ‘Discover’ category you will find subcategories for movies and TV shows.
Settings & Playback
Within the settings menu are numerous options to cater to your personal preference. Users can adjust the Interface including Language and theme options.
There are also various video playback options available. Here we can adjust audio settings and more.
Users can also integrate an External Video Player for use instead of the Default ExoPlayer. If you choose to do this, we suggest using MX Player or VLC Player.
The best way to find all the features associated with this app is by testing it on your device.
Is Stremio Safe?
When using unverified streaming apps from 3rd party developers, it is important to know what comes with these applications.
We scan these apps with VirusTotal which is a malware service available on streaming devices and more. Here is the screenshot of the scan results:
Stremio VirusTotal Scan
VirusTotal did not find any suspicious files within the APK from the TROYPOINT Toolbox. It’s important to only install APKs from reputable sources.
However, using a VPN with the Stremio application is extremely important if you decide to use unofficial add-ons.
Is Stremio Legal?
It’s impossible for TROYPOINT to determine whether these unverified applications hold the proper licensing.
Stremio by itself is a legal media player, as it can be installed from verified app stores like Google Play. However, some content provided by third-party add-ons does not have the proper copyright licensing.
If you use this application, make sure to only view titles available within the public domain. The end-user is responsible for all content accessed through apps such as Stremio.
You can view Stremio’s terms and conditions page for more details on legality.
Final Thoughts from Troy
Many love the Stremio application for its usability and high definition content that is all built into the fabulous interface we see on just about every device.
With syncing capabilities, you can access your Stremio favorites no matter where you are and this makes it extremely easy to use.
If you are a Kodi user that is bored with the layout of this popular application, you may want to consider Stremio that appears more updated and might even have better integration options for live streaming, on-demand, and more.
