TechCrunch recently spoke to the service developers, who mentioned the impending Android app. Based on a fork of the software. The Popcorn Time app for Android should launch tomorrow if all goes according to plan.
Popcorn Time will join the many Android applications that allow pirated content when it arrives. Google has cracked down on piracy apps, purging them when it sees fit. It’ll be interesting to see if action is taken. Or if Popcorn Time even hits the Play Store, to begin with. The app released in a direct download from the Popcorn Time website to skirt any potential queasiness. For those interested, Popcorn Time did come to the Play Store.
