Free Christian Android multimedia tool
The Chosen by VidAngel is a free mobile video streaming platform. The app lets you watch a multi-season TV series about the Son of God’s life. It’s free to use and doesn’t collect user data or even require an account before you can start streaming the content.
The Chosen is a TV drama series about the life of Jesus Christ, from the perspective of the people from the Bible who saw his miracles. It’s similar to streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime, but only contains Christian stories.
Christian content only
The Chosen explores the background stories of those who received Jesus’ miracles, such as Simon Peter and Mary Magdalene. The app brings the engaging experience right to your Android screen.
However, once you watch the published episodes, there isn’t much more to do. Unlike Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime, this app only features the stories of Jesus Christ with videos related to the show.
Slick and straightforward
This app features a slick, black background and clear white font, making it easy to navigate. Launch it, and it’ll display the available episodes and the bonus content.
In order to use it, click the episode you want to watch, and it will redirect you to a video player together with a subtitle tool. As long as you have a decent internet connection, you’ll face little to no lag while watching.
Apart from the online streaming, you can download the video and watch it offline wherever, whenever.
Donation-based
This free app comes with zero interface ads. While you don’t have to pay a cent to enjoy its contents, the pay-it-forward scheme lets you send donations in several price tiers to make the content available to everybody else for free.
This also finances the future filming of the series. As a result, the series depends on fans and devoted Christians to continue producing content, delaying the production until there are enough funds.
Our take
The Chosen features an innovative way to bring the Bible teachings to the masses, combining spirituality and tech-boosted convenience into a slick little app. It performs well and overall, packs quite a punch for a free mobile streaming service.
Should you download it?
Yes, if you’re a fan and would like to support the future production. If you’ve already watched it, this app won’t serve much of a purpose.
