SnagFilms is so committed to providing quality services that the developer has coined a term called "Filmanthropy." The phrase is used to inspire people through powerful content that can inspire the entire community to take action. While that's quite a thought, to begin with, let's check if this streaming app is capable of living up to the presumable standards set by its competitors.
What is SnagFilms?
SnagFilms is a popular streaming service that offers users access to over 10,000 movies, TV shows, and documentaries. The reason it is so successful is because it has blockbuster content that does not put the user experience at risk through haphazard ad placement.
What should you expect from the SnagFilms App?
There is a great sign-up process where you can join the network using your Google or Facebook account. Even if you don't want to sign in, you can guest the platform as a guest. However, I would advise you to sign in because then you'll be able to make the most of the features such as recommended films, accessing the queue, etc. If you sign up, you'll be able to download the content on your device in case if you're into offline content viewing. Another perk of signing up is that the app tracks your stream progress and lets you continue a stream from where you left off.
User-Interface
Overall, I am quite impressed with the app?s design and functionality.
I found the app's interface to be seamless and well-designed. There are well-planned menus that help you visit the specific page based on your interests. Content diversification is amazing, which helps you find a movie or TV show that fits your mood. The categories section of the app has all the genres that you would find on the website and moving across different categories is not much of a hassle. Overall, I am very impressed with the app's design and functionality.
Great Compatibility
While I accessed this app using the APK, you can find the movie app on a wide range of platforms such as Windows 8, XBOX 360, Amazon Kindle, Roku, and Smart TV. It was available on Google Play Store, but it has recently been removed. The app supports the majority of the devices and the stream playback is quite seamless on all these devices. You can watch HD quality content with little to no buffering.
Multiple Genres
SnagFilms has a vast content library that spans over 10,000 titles. The genres that SnagFilms encompasses can be classified as Documentary, Cult Classics, Crime, Animation, History, Short Films, Horror, Science, Action, Biography, Environment, Military, Thrillers and LGBT.
SnagFilms App Information
SnagFilms has been downloaded over 100,000 times on popular APK platforms. However, it no longer has an app on Google Play Store and thus I cannot provide you with that information. The app size is around 30 MB and can differ based upon the version you download.
How to access SnagFilms?
?
Either you can search for the term ?SnagFilms app? and click on the first link you find or you can access it directly: SnagFilms. The reason why Iâm providing a direct link to Uptodown is because itâs much safer to download the app from the portal above than to land on a dicey APK website filled with malware and adware.
If you download this app from a third-party website that isn't Uptodown, I would recommend you use a VPN. Using a VPN will safeguard your data and will help protect your device and identity.
Design
SnagFilms has an easy-to-follow design with clean and simple elements. Similar to other free content streaming apps, the homepage is filled with genres and thumbnails divided into various sections. The dark background, blue text, and well laid out thumbnails help the app look clean. There are no more than three thumbnails in a row that comes off as clean as compared to apps such as FilmOn.
App Homepage
On the app's homepage, there are no navigation buttons or menus. You'll find categories such as Filmanthropy, Climate Change, Celebrate Pride, Foreign Films, Music, and Drama. Towards the bottom of the homepage, you'll find four options - ?Home? (which takes you back to the beginning of the homepage), ?Movies? (which takes you to a list of movies), ?Search? (which allows you to search for movies by title or rating), and ?Menu? (which takes you to various genres and user-related information).
Inner Pages
Once you click on a title, you will be redirected to an inner page with specific information about that title. The inner page has a title at the top, followed by an informative byline with the "Runtime," "Release year," and "Genre" information. Towards the right is a "Queuing" section and "Close" option. There is then the stream player which is followed by three buttons - "Download," "Add to Watch list," and "Viewer Rating." Under that, there is information about the Director, Cast, and Synopsis.
Content
There is a wealth of content on SnagFilms. With over 10,000 movies and TV shows to choose from, there is something for everyone. The new and popular movie section is updated regularly, so you can always be sure to find the latest films. You will find content from a wide range of genres, including Crime, Documentary, Animation, Biography, Comedy, and Romance. So no matter what you're looking for, you'll find it on SnagFilms.
Some movies that are close to each other are kept in the collection so that you can find them even when they aren't in the same genre. For instance, movies such as Athletes & their Triumphs, Before They Were Stars, Youth & Education, and History Lessons are clubbed together. Once you watch a couple of movies, the app will start recommending you numerous titles.
Although SnagFilms has a wider selection of titles than Tubi, it is not as up-to-date or trendy. The menu options are also smaller, catering to a specific audience. As well, there is very little content for kids on SnagFilms. To find some titles that are more appropriate for children, scroll down and see some of the choices below.

TV Shows & Original Content
There are five TV shows that I have taken notice of - ?Women on the Front Line?, ?Purple States?, ?The World Cup Project?, ?Shark Men?, and ?We The Economy?. As for original content, I am glad to see that the platform has something to offer. There are four quality titles that I would recommend - ?Teacher?s Lounge?, ?American Viral?, ?Don?t Walk?, and ?Gabe & Max Need Help?.
Desktop/Mobile experience
If you want a seamless streaming experience on the SnagFilms app, I would advise you to have an internet speed of 5 Mbps or above. I have a 32 Mbps internet speed and my streaming experience on this platform didn't have any discrepancies at all. Even though I was streaming content in 1080p, it was a smooth sail. However, I have to say that even at 5 or 10 Mbps, based upon your speed and device, 780p or 1080p can give you a hard time.
I'm impressed with the streaming capabilities of this platform. I went in with no expectations and wasn't disappointed. The streaming player is not the most advanced, but it does get the job done. You can change the volume, move back and forth, and enter the full-screen mode along with adjusting the video quality. However, there are no subtitle options and so watching a foreign film can be challenging.
Suggestions I have for SnagFilms
While I'm happy with this app, I'd love for the developers to expand their horizons. Maybe tie-up with a couple of major studios and get people to stay on the platform. The lack of blockbusters and trending movies is seriously hurting the app. On the other hand, it's quintessential that they fix the streaming - fast-forward issue along with adding indicators as to when the ads will appear within the stream.
Conclusion
SnagFilms is a good platform for watching films or documentaries in SD or HD quality. However, if you want mainstream content, you'll find that it's not available on this platform. You won't find Dwayne Johnson, Adam Sandler, or the Marvel Cinematic Universe on SnagFilms, and other than that, it's a capable platform that can provide you decent entertainment value.
