Lifetime app - TV shows & movies - overview

Here's a new app called Lifetime TV Shows and Movies. It's climbing the top charts in the iOS category in the App Store under entertainment. To get started, simply tap "get" and then double click to install. The app is quite similar to Netflix and other streaming apps, but it's important to note that the quality of content may not be on par with Netflix.

Lifetime TV Shows and Movies shares similarities with other new apps that offer lower quality content, with the option to upgrade for better viewing experiences. When you first open the app, you'll need to allow notifications as there are some ads. From there, you can browse through various shows and movies available. However, to access the majority of the good content, you'll need to sign in with your TV provider.

While some shows can be watched without signing in, they are limited to the US. This brings us to a new trend in the streaming category – shows with limited budgets and movies that are often produced on a small scale. These low budget films often utilize small cameras and lack professional equipment. They may even be shot in vertical video format to be easily viewable on mobile phones.

While the quality may not match that of Netflix or other high-end streaming platforms, the convenience and variety offered through these apps make them worth exploring, especially if you're in need of some entertainment during your daily commute. It's worth noting that these apps are currently only available in the US.

Lifetime TV Shows and Movies also offers additional features. You can find entire seasons of shows and explore settings or frequently asked questions. Furthermore, if you're interested in becoming a part of the entertainment industry, you could even apply to appear in a show or movie through the app's casting agency.

This emerging trend in the movie production industry reflects the advancements in technology that have made it possible for small-scale productions to offer original content. With the increasing quality of video captured on small cameras and the growing power of laptops, it's now become feasible for a small team of just three actors to create multiple episodes of a TV show with a compelling plot.

While the content may still be considered low-quality, it's important to acknowledge the effort put into making these original shows. For those times when you want to indulge in some binge-watching during your daily commute, these apps provide a viable option. So, take a moment to explore the offerings in this new wave of streaming platforms and see if any of them catch your interest.
