Watching TV without a TV… Is this possible? Of course, and for a long time, if you have a mobile phone, and today who does not have one? Today we can control any aspect of our life or activity from our smartphone; these have been a complete success. Among so many things that we can do with our mobile phones, for some years it has also been possible to watch TV.
Most of the most popular TV channels and companies have already launched their own apps, following the trend of streaming and television distributed over the Internet. If you want to know which are the best apps with the most popular channels for watch TV on mobile, in this article we will tell you.
Apps to watch free TV on mobile
RTVE Play
We could not start this list in any other way than with the official application of Radio y Televisión Española, RTVE Play. It seems to me that it is one of the apps with the most complete interface and the best user experience. In this application you can find everything: movies, series, documentaries, programs, sports and news.
As we told you, RTVE Play has a very complete interface. You can register as a user, filter the content by categories and channels. Save your favorite content in lists to watch later, or even download and save it in the download section to watch it without an Internet connection
And what channels can be seen on RTVE Play? The answer will seem obvious, but we will clarify it anyway. On RTVE you can practically see all television channels in Spain (or at least the most recognized), from La 1 and Telecinco, through Teledeporte, Atresmedia, Antena 3 and La Sexta.
My TV
If the one from RTVE did not seem enough to you, we recommend My TV, Mediaset's mobile television app, with channels such as Boing, Telecinco, BeMad, Energy, Cuatro and FDF. On this platform you can access exclusive content, save content to favorites and lists, continue watching content where you left off, and interact with live broadcasts with voting and comments.
Of course, Mitele is initially free. However, Mitele has 4 plans ranging from 3 to 5 € / month. Each subscription gives you a series of advantages of the Plus service such as HD content, downloads, previews and special content. Also, depending on the plan you may get more content or different features. For example, the international plan is suitable for users outside of Spain and the Dizi has Turkish novels, dubbed into Spanish.
Pluto TV
At Pluto TV you have at your disposal a wide variety of television channels, on-demand movies for all tastes, series, marathons and much more. The best of all is that it is a completely free app, although yes, the cost is that has ads. This can be annoying for some people, but the truth is that the ads are very short and help keep the platform afloat.
What we love most about Pluto TV is its interface and user experience. The developers are constantly fixing technical issues and making improvements to the video player and loading times. Thanks to this, they have achieved an impeccable interface, without operating problems and well organized. With all this, Pluto TV has earned a 4.1-star rating from its users and the badge of Editors' Choice in the Play Store.
ATRESplayer
If you are a great fan of ATRESmedia and don't want to miss out on its best programs, soap operas, series, live TV broadcasts, documentaries and news, this app is for you. In ATRESplayer logically you have the Antena 3, Atreseries, Nova, laSexta and Neox channels, and you can access the app from any country, not just Spain.
ATRESplayer have a premium version, which gives you access to exclusive content and previews of series, documentaries and programs, allows you to watch the live ones again after they are broadcast, download content to watch them later and see the TV in HD and 4K resolution. All this for a low price of $4,99/month or $49,99/year.
TDTChannels Player
Now, TDTChannels Player is an application created by an independent developer. As such, it is not an app with its own channels, but rather a player with which you can view programs from channels that you already have access to. This is precisely what I love about this app, since its content catalog is not limited to that of a single company.
TDTChannels Player has no ads, and is characterized by a fairly light interface that is constantly updated. To start watching content you have to add a list of channels, following the tutorial of the app, but this is completely free.
Vodafone TV
Although Vodafone TV does not offer any free version, if you were already a subscriber to its cable TV service, the app as such will be free. Like its traditional service, this app has a lot of channels to enjoy as La 1, Antena 3, LaSexta and FOX.
An advantage of the Vodafone app is that it allows you to send the content to Chromecast to be able to transmit it to the TV from your mobile or vice versa. Like other applications that we have already talked about, with this one you will be able to download the content and organize it in lists according to its category.
Photocall.TV
Finally, we wanted to recommend Photocall.TV. That although it is only a web application (because today it does not have a mobile app that you can install on Android or iOS), it is one of the best that exists. It is a platform that contains all kinds of free programs from more than 1000 channels between national and international television channels.
It is an app not only free, but also 100% legal, because the programs and series that it takes are of free transmission. To see Photocall.TV you have to access it from the browser, so if you want to watch TV on your mobile, obviously you will have to do it with the browser itself. Of course, keep in mind that in some countries you cannot access this app, so you may have to enter with a VPN.
