The Chosenfor iOS

The Chosen is a free application that allows you to watch a Christian story about the life of Jesus Christ. Not only can you watch the series with the app but you can also stream it to your iPhone or TV. 

Unlike Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, the shows on this app are all biblical, relating to the Bible with a focus on Jesus. The application seamlessly delivers the episodes, allowing you to engage with the characters no matter where you are.

Full episodes

The Chosen app presents you with complete, uninterrupted episodes of the series. This aspect makes the app great for binge-watching or enjoys the show on a weekend evening. As the episodes are complete, they take a long time to run and will require at least 40 minutes from start to finish.

Additionally, the application uses a crowd-funding mechanism that allows you to support the creators.

Watch for free

The Chosen application allows you to watch season one for free, allowing you to enjoy the show's origins. To view more episodes past the first season, you'll need to purchase a subscription that unlocks the next season.

Not as great as alternatives

Unfortunately, The Chosen app only allows you to view the series it's made for. Compared to Netflix, you can't view other TV shows or have separate profiles. Additionally, you're unable to continue or stop watching quickly without resetting your episode's progress.

The story

The Chosen is a multi-series work about the life of Jesus. The story shows you who Jesus was through the eyes of those around him, and not how Hollywood represents him. The series elaborates and gives context to the story of Jesus.

Special content

The Chosen app features a variety of extra content, such as behind-the-scenes interviews and footage. This selection includes interviews with actors and insight into the series. 

Our take

The Chosen is a great way to watch the series and view extra content. It isn't like popular streaming alternatives like Netflix or Prime Video. The only show available to watch is The Chosen, which is excellent if you plan on watching the show frequently.

Should you download it?

Yes. If you're already watching the series or enjoy watching Christian shows, this application is a great choice to install and access whenever a new episode releases.
