Stream or Download Movies for Free on Android or iOS

With so many video formats and devices out there, sometimes it’s hard to figure out the best way to watch movies when you’re on the go.  With Netflix seeming to increase it’s rates on an hourly basis, it’s great to have an alternative.  A new website has made the process much easier no matter what device you’re using.  And the best part is you don’t need a computer to do it!

Movieonhand.com is a website that you can view on your desktop or laptop computer as well as your iOS device (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) and Android phone.  Once you punch in the web address, you’ll see a basic home screen with a search bar at the top and then a list of years at the bottom.  You can search their catalog or browse based on the year the movie was released.

Search by Year

For this example, we’re typing ‘X-Men’ into the search bar.  When we have the results, we select a movie and then see various viewing options.  We can stream from a few different locations and we can also download directly to our device.  The download option will take you to a file share site where the movie is being stored at.  Occasionally the link download link will take you to a page that says the movie you’re looking for was removed.  Not much you can do about this…you’ll just have to keep looking.  It’s great to have the option to stream when you have a data connection or to download to watch when you don’t have internet access.

Download to iOS Devices

Depending on your device, the download process is a little different.  For the PC, it’s a straightforward affair.  If you’re on an Apple iOS device, you’ll need another application first.  Follow the link below to download Downloads Lite from the App store…

Downloads Lite

Click Stream or Download to view

Once you have Downloads Lite installed, open the program and use it to navigate to Moviesonhand.com through the built in browser.  Go through the same process to get to the download or stream options and select download.  It should take you to the download location (usually megaupload.com).  It may require you to wait until a download counts down before the download link appears.  Click and the app will start the download process.  Once this is done, you can go to the files tab and there’s your movie!  You also have the option for moving the video file into your Photos folder so it’ll be easier to find.

Download to Android

Luckily, the Android download process is much simpler since it doesn’t require any other apps to work.  Just follow all the steps before and click on the download link from moviesonhand.com.  Next, click the download link once it appears on Megaupload.com and the download should start.  That’s it…once the download completes you should be able to find it in your videos or gallery.

Movieonhand.com is a great tool for getting a huge number of movies on your device or for streaming and is a great alternative when Netflix keeps jacking up the rates.  Occasionally the format may not be the best for your given device but in the end it’s a great option to have especially when you’re on the go.
