What is FilmPlus?
FilmPlus is a third-party Android app that lets you stream VOD content, TV shows, and movies for free.
The app doesn’t host movies or TV shows. It only shares links to third-party websites that host the content.
FilmPlus allows you to stream in HD, FHD, 2K, and even 4K. It also supports premium integrations like Real Debrid and Premiumize, ensuring access to high-quality streaming links.
FilmPlus offers a clean and organized user interface. Key sections such as Favorites, Downloads, and Settings are conveniently tucked inside a hamburger menu. You can also filter content by choosing pre-made categories at the top of the screen.
Additionally, FilmPlus lets you sync your watch history & preferences across multiple devices by connecting your Trakt TV account.
Attention FireStick Users
Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If you use third-party streaming apps on your Fire TV Stick, you should always use a good FireStick VPN and hide your identity so your movie-viewing experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.
I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Is FilmPlus Safe and Legal?
FilmPlus is an unverified APK—it’s not available on the Amazon App Store or Google Play Store, so there’s no foolproof way to determine whether it’s safe for your device.
Some third-party apps are known for infecting devices with malware, viruses, crypto-mining codes, and similar threats. At FireStickTricks.com, we are unsure whether FilmPlus is 100% safe, so your due diligence is necessary.
I scan all third-party apps, such as FilmPlus, on VirusTotal before installing them on my FireStick. I did the same with FilmPlus APK and found its APK to be safe by all 67 security vendors on VirusTotal – please check the screenshot:
You can use FilmPlus to stream any non-copyrighted content that’s freely available to the public. However, streaming a movie or TV show that is unavailable under a public license may cause trouble.
Although FilmPlus doesn’t host content, streaming copyrighted content off the platform may get you into legal trouble. At FireStickTricks.com, we strictly advise our readers to use FilmPlus only to watch content available under a public license.
We also recommend using a reliable VPN to protect your device from prying eyes. ExpressVPN is a reliable app that keeps you and your data 100% safe online.

How do I restart an episode after it already finished?. When I chose a server it will play but after a 10 second count down it goes to the next episode.
Hi Ross,
Are you able to rewind the episode before it is able to automatically play the next episode? If you’ve previously watched the episode that you are trying to restart, it may be that the player has marked your position at the end credits based on where you last left off in the episode. This is a common inconvenience that also occurs with other popular streaming services, such as Netflix. You may have to manually return the slider on the progress bar to the beginning of the episode each time, or, if you’re using a TV remote control, it might be easier to hit the rewind button on the remote.
Unlike Cinema, I cannot find the “resume” feature if one exists on FilmPlus. Help? Thank you!
Hi Becky,
Unfortunately, FilmPlus lacks a resume feature. You can find a list of alternative apps for streaming free movies and tv shows in this article.
