The Tubi app serves as a seamless, high-quality gateway to thousands of hours of free entertainment, designed with a polished user interface that rivals paid subscription services.

Optimized for mobile devices, tablets, and smart TVs, the app provides instant access to over 200,000 movies and TV episodes without requiring a credit card or a subscription fee. It is built for “on-the-go” streaming, allowing users to dive into content immediately after downloading.

App Features

Instant Access (No Sign-Up Required): The app lowers the barrier to entry completely; users can download the app and immediately start watching content as a “Guest” without creating an account or entering payment details.

Personalized “My List” & Recommendations: The app features an intelligent algorithm that curates a “For You” row based on your watch history. It also allows you to build a custom “Queue” to save titles for later viewing.

Seamless Cross-Device Resume: The app syncs your viewing progress via the cloud. You can pause a movie on your smartphone during your commute and resume it at the exact same second on your Smart TV at home.

Tubi Kids Mode: The app includes a dedicated toggle/section for “Tubi Kids.” This transforms the interface into a simplified, safe environment featuring only family-friendly content, giving parents peace of mind.

Live TV Guide Interface: In addition to on-demand content, the app features a robust “Live TV” tab designed to look like a traditional cable EPG (Electronic Program Guide), offering news, sports, and entertainment channels in real-time.

Adaptive Streaming Quality: To ensure a smooth experience on mobile data or fluctuating Wi-Fi, the app utilizes adaptive bitrate streaming, automatically adjusting video quality to prevent buffering while maximizing visual clarity.
