STARZ 0/4

Starz is a video streaming service where you can watch popular TV series and movies on desktop computers, smartphones, and other devices. The streaming platform has a large selection of content to watch, including original shows like The Rook and Outlander. 

Starz on-the-go

You can watch unlimited movies anytime, anywhere you want.

The main feature of Starz is its many movies available for viewing. You have several Disney hits like Toy Story and Frozen. It also has classics like Crocodile Dundee and Jaws. When it comes to TV Series, Starz seems lacking. The platform has many original contents like Sweet Bitter and The Spanish Princess. However, other streaming services have more shows available than on Starz.

The video streaming platform also has the Starz channel lineup available for online viewing. These channels include Starz in Black, Starz Edge, and Starz Comedy. You can recreate the channel surfing experience on your smart TV or mobile phones with the live TV section.

Simultaneous streaming

Another feature that makes Starz stand out from the rest is its four simultaneous streams. This lets four separate devices access Starz movies, TV shows, and live TV channels. Other streaming services only allow up to a maximum of three simultaneous streams.

Downloadable content

Your subscription to Starz lets you download movies or TV episodes to your mobile device. This lets you enjoy your shows even without a network connection. This feature is only available though, to a select number of watchable content.

Where can you run this program?

Starz is available on Android phones, tablets, TV boxes, and Smart TVs. An Apple version of the app is compatible with iOS 9.0. You can also install the app on gaming consoles, such as the Xbox One and PS4.

Is there a better alternative?

A good alternative is Netflix, a popular video streaming platform that is available in many countries. You can find a large library of content on the app and various foreign movies and TV shows.

Our take

Starz’s large library of movies is a big plus. Even the Starz channels make up for its small TV series offer. The app has other shortcomings, such as download option availability and short trial period. Nonetheless, this is one streaming platform that lets you watch different shows on four separate devices.

Should you download it?

Yes. Starz offers a solid streaming platform that can match other online entertainment services.
