One of the most popular and the most trusted streaming apps, Terrarium TV has finally announced it is shutting down. The developers are no longer providing app since the end of September 2018, you will not even be able to open the app. That’s sad news for the community of online streamers who relied heavily on Terrarium TV for their entertainment needs. Of course, I am a part of this community. I am very disappointed.
Best Terrarium TV Alternatives
In this post, I am going to introduce you to some of the best alternatives to Terrarium TV. I am recommending these apps after personally testing and using them. I hope you will find a viable replacement to Terrarium TV in one of these options I have listed here.
1. Titanium TV
Titanium TV easily grabs the top spot among the best Terrarium TV alternatives for several reasons. For the starters, it is a Terrarium TV clone. It looks and functions exactly like Terrarium TV. This entertainment app has a huge catalog of movies and shows making it a perfect pick for binge watching. What impresses me, even more, is that it picks up the quality links from the web for the videos you want to watch.
Titanium TV offers integration with Real Debrid. Meaning, if you have a Real Debrid account, you get even better streaming options in full HD. Titanium TV is incredibly easy to install on Android devices. And, it’s easy to use too. Whether or not you have used Terrarium TV or any other such app, you will get around Titanium TV in minutes. The app is remote-friendly allowing smoother interaction on FireStick, Fire TV, Fire TV Cube and Android TV Boxes.
2. HDMovies (Cinema APK)
HDMovies is a relatively new app and regardless of what happened to Terrarium TV, I might have still run into it sometime in the future. That’s because I believe this app has the making of becoming popular. The several hours of experience I have with this app were completely error free. The app fetched dozens of working streams for the movies and shows I watched. The streaming quality was also very good.
If you are still looking out for apps like Terrarium TV, I believe you should give HDMovies a definite chance. This app also goes by the name of Cinema APK. You will find a satisfactory collection of movies and shows. But, like Terrarium TV or other such on-demand apps, HDMovies does not host any content of its own. It is an aggregator that pulls the streaming links from various servers.
Even though the app gets quality links, things could get even better if you integrate your Real-Debrid account with it. Real-Debrid will ensure more full HD streams and healthier links.
HDMovies has kept the interface to minimal. So, don’t expect much visual appeal. But, if you are looking for an on-demand app that does its core job (letting you watch movies and shows) well, this is a great option to consider.
3. CyberFlix TV
Just like Titanium TV, CyberFlix TV is also a clone of the discontinued Terrarium TV. While drawing comparisons, there was little to choose between Cyberflix TV and Titanium TV. However, I have noticed a bunch of times that Titanium TV pulls better quality links. But, the difference is only occasional and not necessarily decisive of choosing one over the other.
CyberFlix TV has a huge repository of on-demand videos, mostly movies, and TV shows. The content library is updated regularly to accommodate the new releases. The app’s interface is the same as Terrarium TV’s with the same set of options and menu items. All things considered, CyberFlix TV is a suitable replacement for Terrarium TV.
4. FreeFlix HQ
This app has been about for a while and is considered by many experts as the next in line to Terrarium TV. With Terrarium TV ruling the roost, FreeFlix HQ did not get many heads turned its way. But, now that Terrarium TV is gone and we are stepping down to its alternatives, I reckon FreeFlix HQ may just as well take its place until there is another ‘next-big-thing’ on the block.
We spotted FreeFlix HQ when it wasn’t exactly very popular. However, even while Terrarium TV was around, we observed that the app did gain some traction.
I am impressed by the content library this app has to offer. Its media collection could be just as big as Terrarium TV’s. It also fetches several HD links as well. While for the most part, you would be able to stream your favorite media, there will be times when you will run into broken, unhealthy links (more than Terrarium TV).
However, overall, I still believe that FreeFlix HQ is a good alternative. There aren’t a lot of Android streaming apps that are remote friendly and designed for TV devices like Amazon FireStick. This app doesn’t disappoint you on this front. Its interface is slick, user-friendly and works flawlessly with the remote. Go ahead and give it a try.
5. Kodi
Kodi is probably the most popular media player around. It had been the biggest contender of Terrarium TV. But, with the latter gone, there is no doubt that Kodi will emerge as the uncontested leader in the streaming world.
Unlike Terrarium TV or any other Android streaming apps, Kodi is far from the risk of being shut down or discontinued. Kodi does not rely on a single developer. It is an open-source app and anyone with the right knowledge can create a streaming add-on for it. There are hundreds of video addons for Kodi that let you watch shows, movies, sports, live TV and whatnot. Even if one developer decides to discontinue their addon, the others will continue providing services. Furthermore, new addons just keep coming every now and then. And if you’re one of my customers you have the best build around!
So, even if Terrarium TV is soon going to be the past, there is always a future with Kodi. If you haven’t used Kodi yet, I recommend you give it a try. You might never need any other Android streaming app again. And before you ask, Kodi is a legal app and is also listed on official Google Play Store.
6. TeaTV
TeaTV was probably released around the same time as Terrarium TV. However, evidently, Terrarium TV went on to become more popular than it. Yet, TeaTV was a widely used streaming app on the Android platform. I had used this app a while ago. But, because I had better alternatives in Terrarium TV and Kodi, I found no reason to revisit it.
When I heard that Terrarium Tv was going away, I started looking for options and thought it would be a good idea to give TeaTV another chance. I wasn’t disappointed and that’s the least I can say. TeaTV always had a solid media library that easily rivaled Terrarium TV. But, it didn’t have the most remote-friendly interface back then and I found it hard to use it on my FireStick. This time around though, it worked way better than before. It looks like TeaTV developers have been working hard to make the app more competitive.
If you have been a big fan of Terrarium TV, it might take you a bit to get adjusted to this app. But, I believe if the developers keep working on it, TeaTV might soon take the spot that Terrarium TV had claimed for so long.
7. Morpheus TV
There is a decent chance that you may not have heard of Morpheus TV yet. It is a fairly new Android streaming app and I stumbled upon it only a few weeks ago. I liked this app for a variety of reasons. Besides the decent media library, Morpheus TV has to offer, I am also impressed with the quality of the streamable links this app fetches. With Terrarium TV going out of business, Morpheus TV is certainly a keeper. Well, at least give it a try.
This on-demand app has nearly everything that I wanted to watch. You can stream your favorite TV show episodes or the latest movies. It features all the popular movies and gets even gets you HD links for some of them.
Morpheus TV is a remote-friendly app. This means you could install and use it on your Amazon FireStick as well. It also has a user-friendly interface allowing you to find your favorite movies and shows in no time. I suggest you give it a try.
8. OneBox HD
OneBox HD has also been around for a while. But, it is more popular on Android mobiles than remote-controlled devices like Amazon FireStick. Though, the good news is that OneBox HD is remote-friendly and offers fluid navigation and control on FireStick. I like this app. I like the enormous library of movies and TV shows it hosts. I also like that it plays the videos in just a few clicks.
OneBox HD is fast to offer the available streamable links. That also means it doesn’t give you a lot of options to choose from. The 1080 full HD links are hard to find. But, what I have noticed is that almost all the links this app gets you are playable. That’s more than I could say for Terrarium TV.
Even though this app offers smooth navigation when you are exploring or looking for the content, the in-video controls are frustrating. It does not let you pause/plan, rewind or forward with your remote until you have mouse-toggle. This could be the deal-breaker for many.
The fact that OneBox HD has a huge collection of content, it is lightweight and easy to use, and plays videos faster than any other app makes it worth a try.
9. Showbox
Showbox isn’t new to the Android users who like free streaming apps for movies and shows. This app has been on the shelf for a long time and there was a time when it was extremely popular on Android. Things changed when better apps like Terrarium TV joined the turf.
Even though Showbox may have lost some popularity over a while, we cannot ignore that fact that it stood firm when many others collapsed around it. And, as you see, it is going to outlive Terrarium TV as well.
Showbox isn’t the best streaming app around. But, we have to make do with it for a while as an alternative as there aren’t a lot of choices. This app has a decent collection of on-demand content. But, it does not fetch the best quality links. I barely find any 1080 HD streams. That said, I must also add that Showbox gets you the healthiest links. Most of its links are playable.
This app is also not compatible with your FireStick remote. You will need to install an additional, mouse toggle APK on your Fire TV Stick. I don’t mind doing that as mouse-toggle comes handy many times.
10. TVZion
This is another app I recently stumbled upon while looking for apps like Terrarium TV. TVZion is a nicely designed app for movies and TV shows. There is a big catalog of top-quality content for hundreds of hours of binge-watching. What I like the best about TVZion is that despite being content loaded, it is quite lightweight. That’s why it goes easy on my FireStick and other streaming devices.
TVZion offers a fuss-free, neat interface with various elements laid out neatly across the screen. It has separate tabs for TV Shows and Movies on the top allowing you to quickly select what you want to watch. Instead of digging deep to find the categories, the app places them right on the Main-screen so that you can get started quickly. There is a search option too on the top that lets you look up for the content with keywords.
The app limits the playback to 500 hours when you first install the app. But, by installing certain apps from within the app through the Google Play Store, you can get an additional 1000 hours. This gets a bit tricky as FireStick doesn’t support Play Store. There is a workaround though. If you are running out of hours, you can uninstall and reinstall the app.
11. Newest Movies HD
This is another app that requires Mouse Toggle as it does not let you access all its functions with the FireStick Remote. That could be a deal-breaker for many. However, I would still recommend you to give it at least a shot.
Newest Movies HD app’s biggest plus is its expansive collection of video content. This app lets you stream hundreds of movies and TV shows. What I like the most about the Newest Movies HD is that it is a one-click-play app. Meaning, it starts the playback directly when you click a movie title or episode without taking a long time to look up for multiple links. That also means you will have to completely rely on whatever server it connects you too.
Newest Movies HD is not the best app like Terrarium TV, but it is worth a try. It is a small-sized app that is easy on your device. Give it a try.
