Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run Showmax, an app by Showmax Africa Holdings Limited, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.

Showmax is one of those apps that kind of surprises you by just how much there is to watch. There are a ton of local African series and movies, but also all the big-name international stuff mixed in, so it really covers a lot of different tastes. It’s not just movies either — you’ll find loads of kids’ shows, documentaries, and, probably the coolest thing for football fans, all the Premier League matches live. On a PC using something like BlueStacks, the bigger screen is really nice for this. The stream quality goes all the way up to Full HD, but for anyone trying to save data, it’s easy to adjust settings, which is helpful.

The way it’s set up is pretty user-friendly too. People can set up individual profiles so recommendations aren’t all over the place, and it lets two people watch at once, so family and friends can do their own thing. There’s a kids’ section with its own content and safety settings, which can be a real bonus for parents. New shows and movies get added every week, so there’s always something a bit different popping up. They’ve made subscribing and canceling direct, which is handy, and there are a few different plan options, so you’re not locked into paying for stuff you don’t want. All in all, it’s got the kind of variety and flexibility that makes it feel more personal instead of just another streaming app dumping random movies at you.

Switch to BlueStacks and make the most of your apps on your PC or Mac.
