What App I Can Use Instead of Netflix and How?

In this technically advanced era, everyone wants entertainment on the go. No one has the time to go to the theatre anymore. This has made the VOD service idea come true.

VOD stands for Videos On Demand. This is a server where you can watch all popular new & old movies, drama series & all types of visual content online.

When we talk about video streaming servers, Netflix pops up on our eyes. Because more or less we all are obsessed with it.

Netflix is a world-renowned & most dominant American global platform in the modern entertainment industry.  It works with on-demand video content such as tending movies, web series, dramas, etc.  It is a USA based platform but has a partnership with a few more countries. And Bangladesh is one of their partner countries.

Netflix is highly popular among our people. It serves consumer's needs. You can watch all the latest movies, popular anime series, Cartoons, comedy shows, news, web series, dramas of different languages.

Netflix is cool, right!!

But it is even cooler that we also have our very own on-demand video streaming server.
That is specially designed for the people of our country by keeping their needs in mind.

There are few famous apps that are already running successfully & many more are yet to come.

Today, let’s talk about the highest used & recommended platforms for entertainment in Bangladesh.

Banglaflix 

Banglaflix is the top-notch video streaming server in Bangladesh. It is a part of Banglalink’s “Go Digital” march. Banglalink believes in the “ entertainment is now anywhere, anytime” motto. That’s where the idea of Banglaflix came from.

Banglalink’s Head of Content Ziaul Hoque Sikder addressed that, “Movies and other motion-drama has been a source of entertainment for all ages of people in our country. But due to our busy lives and heavy schedules, it has become hard to go to a theater for refreshment.”

He further added to his speech that “The main focus of Banglaflix is to serve the people who want entertainment in an easily accessible way on their most personal devices. We are really delighted to be a part of people’s happiness through this initiative.”

This is a server where Banglalink users can enjoy high-quality video streaming. New Bangla dramas, movies, web series, etc can be enjoyed in a seamless way in just one click.

It has a huge amount of features with a user-friendly interface. The key features are:

Trailers, Teasers & Short Clips: Now you can enjoy the short clips or trailers of your favorite movies/shows in full HD quality. It will refresh your mind quickly in a few seconds even in the middle of work pressure.

Personal Playlist: Banglaflix provides a brilliant chance to create a unique playlist for your favorite videos. It feels like it’s customized only for you.

Binge Watching: Yeah, I can feel you. We all are guilty of binge-watching front-runner shows. But none can deny how much we love this guilty pleasure, right? Well, Banglaflix is giving you the opportunity to watch your beloved shows all in one go.

VOD:  Banglaflix now is more enjoyable than before. It offers you VOD service as in Videos On Demand. By using this feature you will be able to watch all the trending movies, shows, dramas in one list.

Banglaflix Exclusive: Last but not least, it releases new videos on a regular basis for their valuable subscribers. Because Banglaflix cares for you, Banglalink cares for you.

You already started feeling like it is the platform you were looking for but…. Banglaflix has a lot more things to offer you,

It has the largest Bengali library with nearly 30,000+  videos. So here you get a lot of variety to choose from.

It makes your enjoyment uninterrupted by blocking ads. The ad-blocking service is available for both free & premium content. Other streaming channels provide this service only for premium users but Banglaflix doesn’t differentiate between anyone.

Fast-forwarding & backward navigation is a lot easier with Banglaflix. You can do these movements just by clicking the arrows.

You can get recommendations according to your preferences. It will help you to find out more movies & videos of your choice.

Sharing is also fun with Banglaflix. You can directly share on your social media from the app or web. No need for switching.

It has an amazing feature of adjusting speed according to your device. No matter how high or low-speed connectivity you are using, it will always adjust & prevent buffering.

Toffee

This is the ultimate Live-streaming platform of Banglalink. Why am I suggesting this app here? Only because with the Toffee app, you can watch varieties of movie content on your phone. If you have Banglalink Full Speed 4G internet connectivity on, from anywhere anytime you can indulge the live movie streaming on your mobile.

Bioscope

Bioscope is a video streaming platform. It offers live tv & videos that are new & highly on demand.  It presents live TV experience with a vast collection of new Bangla movies, dramas, serials, tv shows, etc.

It is easily accessible to anyone who has an internet connection or has access to a computer, smartphone or smart tv. It also offers prime quality service but to enjoy that you need to be a Grameenphone user.

Bioscope is available in both app & web form. You can enjoy unlimited movies, dramas, tv shows just by logging in. After logging in, you get to choose a plan according to your convenience. You need to pay a fixed amount of subscription fee every month. The fee will depend on your selected plan.

You can avail of prime quality service if you are a Grameenphone user. It is a premium segment. It offers exclusive & original movies & shows. But before purchasing the segment you need to purchase certain internet packages from Grameenphone. They provide a large variety of internet offers to make your Prime journey smooth.

One of the most promising facilities of Bioscope is that you can access it from anywhere in the world.

Iflix

Iflix is the latest VOD streaming channel in Bangladesh. It offers an enriched collection of movies, local Bengali dramas, popular web series, etc on both free & subscription terms.

The main purpose of creating Iflix is to make your free time more enjoyable than ever before.

It has a lot of amazing features to serve you,

Channels: It has launched this feature in 2017. They have launched the channels to demonstrate entertainment brands. It also presents the user’s favorite content genres, personalized onboarding. It uses the user’s watch history to recommend videos & movies.

Playlist: In August 2016 Iflix launched its playlist feature. It created a playlist followed by film productions from 150 South Asian celebrities. There is an individual playlist for every mood.

Download Option: You can download your desirable movies & videos using wifi.

Offline Watch: Iflix offers an offline watch facility as well. You can download movies or videos easily & watch those in your free time.

Exclusive Service: Iflix has launched its exclusive service in early 2018.  At that time the CEO of Iflix thought of changing & elaborating their features. They created three more features other than the traditional one named IflixFREE, IflixVIP, IflixLIVE.

Now let's decode the usage of those three features:

IflixFREE is an Ad-Supported free service that offers you movies on the day, short-form content & promotional episodes.

VIP is a service that presents a subscription-only feature that allows premium access to thousands of local & international movies.

The LIVE feature originated to run a live streaming service. It live-broadcasts the programs from the local area & abroad.

All of these platforms are available in-app & web form. You can easily enjoy all the activities by simply logging in from the web or you can download it from GooglePlay store, Appstore, etc.

These apps are very easy to use & have a smooth interface. You can browse & enjoy these websites from anywhere in the world. For this, you need to set a data roaming service on your device.

Those are the top most used Internet Entertainment Services in Bangladesh. All of those are created with an aim to serve the people with on-demand movies, dramas, videos, serials, etc.

All the platforms are doing great at their places but as an audience, I prefer Banglaflix. Because Banglaflix has some amazingly easy & enjoyable features that I like the most.

If you compare the above-mentioned platforms, you will know exactly what I’m talking about. Let me break it down furthermore,

Most of the VOD server keeps its best options for paid users only. If you want to unlock those features, you have to spend a lot more money than usual. But that doesn’t make any sense to me.

Because anything is possible in this technically smart world. To watch a movie or video you don’t need to necessarily rely on any specific server. You can get links from any unofficial website. But we still depend on these because we love quality & authenticity.

Here I will suggest, you should use the Toffee App. Only because it will give you a Live TV like experience on your mobile without any cost. All you need is Banglalink Full Speed 4G internet connection and you will be sorted to watch your favorite movie anywhere, at any time.

I also like Banglaflix’s concept here. They don’t charge an excessive amount of money. They actually don’t have any literally paid option.

They decide your subscription based on your internet usage. It is a helpful feature for the users as the internet is a part & parcel of our daily life. You can easily get a subscription to Banglaflix by your daily internet purchases.

Other than that, I also like their playlist feature. You can select a proper plan for what you want to watch. Then you can enjoy your favorite items one by one.

I also appreciate their concept of speed adjustment. No matter which package you are using such as 3G,4G it adjusts according to the speed. No buffering, no hassle.

I hope this blog has helped you to go for the right platform.

Have you used these apps already?? If yes then please feel free to share your experience here.

If not ...then get started. You are restraining yourself from an amazing experience & that's not fair...
