An Overview Of Voot TV

While it used to be only a niche thing among true entertainment aficionados, Bollywood has really increased in popularity due to worldwide streaming. Especially among westerners who want to broaden their cultural horizons, an app like Voot TV is ideal, as it gives you access to tons of Bollywood hit shows, movies and more.

This program was created for smartphone operating systems by Viacom 18 Digital Media. This particular version covered here is specifically for the Android. However, if you use an iOS iPhone, you will be able to find a version that's right for you.

Voot TV is a free app that's actually a lot more popular than you may realize. It's so popular, in fact, that the creator has no choice but to keep it updated and working correctly for the Bollywood-loving audience. So it's currently on version 2.1.68 and updates regularly.

What Voot TV Is and What It Does

This is one of the more relatively simplistic apps for streaming that you're going to find. Instead of offering hundreds of different channels and networks, Voot TV is focused only on Bollywood media, so you only get a few networks from which you can choose, all of which are going to play Bollywood media. This could be classic TV, new movies, or even entertainment news and analysis. It all depends on what's live at the time.

The app even comes with the ability to record media so you can watch it at a later date. That's great news for many. With most free apps, what you see live is what you get, and there's no way to record anything, and certainly no version of an on demand catalog.

However, you can access up to 40,000 hours of TV and movies from Voot's catalog here, while also recording. Keep in mind, however, that you can't record a lot. This isn't an unlimited space DVR; it's a free app.

Features of Voot TV

The coolest feature of Voot TV is probably its drop-down menu. Unlike a traditional guide, the menu from the app simply allows you to browse around for cataloged media and for live media. A lot of streaming services and apps take you to two completely separate locations depending on if it's live or on demand.

Another pretty cool feature is that Voot TV has been updated to work with Chromecast and other tablets, for people who like the mobile experience but with a larger screen. Overall, you get a whole lot of good Bollywood stuff from a free app with Voot.
