- Popcorn Time, one of the most popular piracy apps of the last decade, is back from the dead once again.
- Popcorn Time originally launched in 2014, offering pirates a safe way to illegally stream TV shows and movies without having to download any files individually.
- If you decide to try Popcorn Time, know that your ISP might issue you a warning or even suspend your account, as all of the content is hosted illegally.

We’ve been writing about piracy in the entertainment industry for years, but few apps have caught our attention the way Popcorn Time did more than half a decade ago. In 2014, long before the likes of Disney, Apple, HBO, and NBC were launching their own dedicated streaming platforms, the concept of a sleek, feature-rich “Netflix for piracy” was one that took the internet by storm, and six years later, Popcorn Time is trying to make a comeback.
As spotted by Motherboard on Tuesday, a new version of Popcorn Time was released within the last few days. As with previous versions of the piracy app, Popcorn Time version 4.0 is free to download, easy to use, and features a massive library of TV shows and movies, including some that are still in theaters.
Popcorn Time is also available for Mac and Linux computers, Android and iOS devices. Latest update on September 15, 2020 at 03:05 PM.
If you’ve never used Popcorn Time before (and we’re not recommending that you do, especially considering that this is a pretty bad time to give your service provider any reason to cut off your internet), the reason that it took off the way it did in 2014 was because of how it simplified the pirating process. Rather than forcing you to dig through potentially malware-ridden websites for links that may or may not contain viruses, Popcorn Time was malware-free, featured a sleek, clean interface, and would start playing content with the press of a button.
Popcorn Time Update For Mac
Note: Popcorn Time 4.4 is now available. If you were using Popcorn Time 3 previously, the older version stops working. I advise that you remove the files from /opt/popcorntime and redo this tutorial. Popcorn Time is the result of many developers and designers putting a bunch of APIs together to make the experience of watching torrent movies as simple as possible. The new and improved Popcorn Time allows you to watch movies and TV shows online for free, in HD or SD with subtitles.

Popcorn Time New Version 2019
Unsurprisingly, that ease of use made the app extremely popular, which is why Popcorn Time has been shut down so many times. In the years since it first launched, new teams have taken the lead on the app’s development, new sites have come online to host the app, and countless forks have been distributed. There have even been other projects that have used the same name, but, by all accounts, this appears to be the latest “official” release.
The timing of the release does not appear to be a coincidence, though, as a tweet from the Popcorn Time team calls the new version “Love in the Time of Corona Version 0.4.” Now that we’re all stuck inside, even the endless depths of Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video begin to look a bit more shallow, so if you’re willing to take a risk to watch brand new shows and movies (and you have a VPN locked and loaded), the “Netflix of piracy” is back. For now.

Windows beta 5.1:
After learning about how awesome beta 5.0 is, but also what’s not working so well in it, we worked hard on solving the issues and we believe we managed to fix many bugs that were bugging you guys!! First of all, Chromecast should work well again for those who experienced issues with it recently… So go a head and enjoy a good movie on your TV screen again, no problemo!
Other than that we fixed many player issues, the cache folder bug and we increased download speed, enabled support of a bigger variety of torrents and in general we improved the watching experience, so go and watch something and tell us how it feels!!

Mac beta 4.9.1:
First of all to the burning question you all are probably asking: Why isn’t Mac on beta 5.X yet?
Well, with all that’s been going on recently, we had to invest a lot of time making sure that Popcorn Time will not be shut down, and that time took a bite from the time we had for development.

Also we had some hard time getting Chromium to work with QT (our webUI engine) on Mac – but QT 5.4 was just released 10 days ago with a Chromium-Based Browser Engine, so if everything goes smoothly and we won’t have to invest all our time in keeping Popcorn Time alive, we are expecting to release Popcorn Time 5.1 for Mac in less then 2 weeks.
In the meantime we give you beta 4.9.1 with many bug fixes for a smoother watching experience.
