Tubi: Free Movies & Live TV
How does the voice search feature work on Tubi?
Tubi's search function supports voice recognition, so you can simply say an actor's name like 'John Wayne' and it will pull up a list of their movies. This is especially helpful if you have difficulty typing on a phone screen, as the reviewer noted with their arthritic thumbs.
Can I watch Tubi on multiple devices like my iPhone and iPad?
Yes, Tubi allows you to easily switch between devices, such as your iPhone and iPad, without any extra cost. The reviewer mentioned they could watch on their iPad in bed after starting on their iPhone, which was a perk their old Netflix account didn't offer without paying more.
What should I do if Tubi freezes during a movie?
If Tubi freezes, close the app and reopen it, but be aware that it may restart the movie from the beginning with an ad, as happened to the reviewer while watching 'The Quiet Man.' To avoid losing your place, try pausing the movie periodically or noting the timestamp before any potential freeze.
How can I find the 'Continue Watching' button on Tubi?
The 'Continue Watching' button can be a bit hidden in Tubi's cluttered menu, especially if you're not tech-savvy. Look for it near the top of the home screen or under a 'My Stuff' section; if you can't find it, use the search bar to quickly locate your recently watched titles.
How does Tubi compare to Netflix for someone on a fixed income?
Tubi is completely free with ads, unlike Netflix which requires a monthly subscription that keeps increasing. While Netflix offers ad-free viewing and original content, Tubi provides thousands of old movies and live TV channels without asking for a credit card, making it a great budget-friendly alternative for casual viewers.
