With countless increasingly expensive streaming services flooding the market, you can only subscribe to so many at once. Thankfully, there are plenty of free apps where you can stream your favorite movies and TV shows. If you want to discover some of them, here are the best free apps for streaming movies on your iPhone.

1. Tubi – Watch Movies & TV Shows

Tubi is one of the best free apps for streaming movies on the iPhone, iPad, and even Apple TV. It has thousands of hit movies and TV series and is 100% legal. It doesn’t require a credit card or subscription, but the catch is that you have ads interrupting your watching experience from time to time. That said, if you’d rather not pay, that’s a decent trade-off.
