Movie streaming has now become the norm with the trend of renting movies and buying DVDs long abandoned.

HOOQ is a movie app that offers quality content on your Android phones in a subscription-based model. For a monthly subscription fee, you get access to the entire entertainment cache at HOOQ. We look at the app's usability and content diversity to help you decide if HOOQ would be the right choice for you.

The movie app is available in five countries with the content varying according to the region. The first thing you need to do in order to get started with the app is to signup or register for the HOOQ app services. Once you have signed up and worked out the subscription fee package, you can start accessing the real content available on the platform.
The movie app has a great variety of movies and TV shows in multiple languages for your consumption. It is easy to explore the variety of movies and TV shows in their respective categories. It is also very easy to filter the content according to your preference so that you find a movie or TV show you like sooner and can start watching it quicker as well.

However, if the bandwidth quality is poorer then you would probably to bring the stream quality down to medium if you want to watch the film or TV show uninterrupted. You can also choose different audio tracks and subtitles for movies and TV series where multiple audio tracks or multiple subtitles are present.

The movie app has the option of 'renting' new movies as well that normally become available soon after they are released in the cinemas. The option of renting one new movie is available with the main subscription deal. However, if you want to rent more movies through HOOQ, you will have to pay extra for every new movie rented. This is a good option as it allows you to watch new content as well rather than watching older movies and TV shows all the time.
The problem with HOOQ is that it is probably going through financial trouble and has disabled renting and other payment options. The app is severely limited and doesn't work as required.
