Vio Horoscope provides users with a unique way to watch movies from both India and the world as a whole. The platform has a way of subverting expectations. The app's name alone often makes people assume that they're about to get an astrological reading. But the app focuses on stars of a different sort. Vio Horoscope is a unique way to watch a very different collection of movies than we'd find on most of the popular streaming services. Most of these movies are from India. But the app provides some great selections from all over the world.

The interesting selection is one of the best parts of the app. Most of the streaming services tend to sample from the same small collection of American films and TV shows. Now, to be sure, they're often fantastically entertaining. But that collection is still just a drop in the wider ocean of what the world as a whole is producing. India in particular is well known for its large and long-lasting cinematic expertise. Vio Horoscope lets users see the Indian movie stars in some of the country's best works. But it goes about this process in a way that differs considerably from what most people would expect.

Media services typically use streaming. Small parts of a video are sent to a user's phone, tablet or set-top device. At any given time only a small part of the video will actually be stored on a physical medium at that end-point. But Vio Horoscope does things a little differently. The app uses full downloads rather than streaming. Vio Horoscope gives people the ability to actually store the full movie on their devices.

Downloading video instantly provides some impressive benefits. The most important of these is the fact that we don't have to worry about our phone connection when watching a movie with it. We can travel through tunnels, explore beautiful environments outside our cell service and really soak in the world around us. And we can stop at any time to enjoy a relaxing movie even if there's no cell service there.

It's also incredibly easy to find content through the app. Everything is organized by content type. For example, we could look through short movies rather than the standard movie categorization. Each listing has extra information such as a movie poster, run time, and year of release.

Even better, the platform is free to use. Unlike most streaming services there's no need for monthly fees or subscriptions. Users can simply install the app and start looking for their next favorite movie.
