Popcorn Time for Android beta 2.2 already available, days after last update

Following a major update earlier this month, the team behind Popcorn Time has now released beta 0.2.2 for Android (version 2.2), with some minor fixes.
The last update made headlines as it added the ability to watch movies and TV shows with free VPN, improved Chromecast support and made the software available to many more Android devices.

Stability and bug fixes were key to new update:

What changed?

Wrong subtitle bug is fixed- no more trying to watch Portuguese subtitles and getting Hebrew lol ;-)
Some stability issues were solved
We managed to achieve even faster download speed on this one...


The company also noted that an iOS app is on the way.

Popcorn Time is affectionately known as the "Netflix of Piracy" due to its ability of letting users quickly search and find any film they want and watch it in up to 1080p quality.

Try the Android app here.
