TRY SOMETHING NEW
Watch shows and movies offline
Spotty internet connections and limited data plans don’t have to keep you from watching your favourite TV shows and movies on the go.
The trick is to download ahead of time to watch when you’re on an airplane or out in the middle of nowhere. And if you download over Wi-Fi, you won’t even touch your mobile data plan.
To try it, simply tap the download button (the one with a downward-facing arrow) in any of the following apps.
Disney+
What to watch: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars™, and National Geographic. Need we say more? There are a ton of classics and new releases to watch, but don’t sleep on the originals. The Mandalorian is prestige TV at its best, and The World According to Jeff Goldblum is great, family-friendly fun.
Where to find your downloads: Every show and movie has a download button next to the play button. When you tap the download button, your selection will show up for offline viewing on the Downloads tab, which can be found on the menu bar that runs along the bottom of the app.
Hulu
What to watch: Acclaimed originals like Dollface, Castle Rock, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, and The Handmaid’s Tale. Oh and great network and cable TV shows from FX, NBC, and more.
Where to find your downloads: Look for the download button next to any show episode or movie, and then find it on the Downloads tab to watch whenever, wherever.
Netflix
What to watch: Thrillers like Stranger Things and Black Mirror, comedy specials by Chris Rock and Ali Wong, and Hilda and other shows for the kiddos.
Where to find your downloads: On the Downloads tab in the menu bar that runs along the bottom of the app.
Prime Video
What to watch: Comedies like Forever and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, dramas like Homecoming and Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, and Pete the Cat for the kids.
Where to find your downloads: On the app’s Downloads tab at the bottom of the screen.
MUBI: Curated Cinema
What to watch: Cult, classic and independent films.
Where to find your downloads: On the Downloads tab at the bottom of the app.
