The application displays additional information about shows and movies including the actors, playing times, a short description, and ratings. Movies and TV series work in the same fashion, with the difference thatÂ you find seasons and episodes listed beneath selected TV shows. You find download buttons attached to streaming contents so that you can save a local copy as well. This is normal as the torrent file requires some buffering before the media file can be streamed without buffering issues. Once you have selected an item, it takes some time before it becomes available. You can stream contents to your system or download them instead as well. It pulls information from various torrent sources from the Internet as well as VK.com, and makes them available in the app. The program works similar to how Popcorn Time does.

Some covers are still displayed in Russian though so keep that in mind. You can filter the listings by country, and if you filter by US, you end up with over 17,000 movies and 1800 TV shows. While it won't change what is being displayed, it ensures that English contents are streamed when available. While you will find many English titles listed by the app, you will also notice quite a few Russian titles.įirst thing you may want to do is go to the Settings and set your preferred watching language to English. One difference here is the obvious focus on Russian content. Once you have started Zone, you see an interface that looks similar to the one of Popcorn Time. Virustotal detected five hits out of 51 indicating that the package may contain potentially unwanted software. Zona is a Java application that you need to install on your system before you can make use of it. The programs show how an all-in-one solution could look like, and while we are as far away from it legally as ten years ago, there is hope that a company will eventually come up with a worldwide solution that works for everyone. This is especially the case if you prefer to watch shows and movies in their original version and not synchronized or delayed by months or even years. Depending on the country you are residing in, you may not be able to get legal access to streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, or stream TV shows or movies that you like to watch legally. The current media distribution system is highly fragmented. I find it interesting that apps such as Zona or the previously reviewed Popcorn Time deliver what legitimate companies don't for whatever reason.
