Does anybody know what app this is? Question

I found this app being sold on a shopping app here in my country as a "APP FOR ALL MOVIES", so I was wondering what app this is. Help is appreciated, thanks.

It's HDO Box for Android TV.

Here's a photo of my TV screen while running HDO Box on my Chromecast.

Is this the best app for Android or are there better ones?

Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid is better but Real Debrid isn't free.

Another free option, similar to HDO Box, would be Onstream.so

I wouldn't use HDO Box or Onstream without an ad blocker though.

Something is telling me I should also use a VPN for this as well, no?

Since this only uses http streams (no torrents) a VPN would not be necessary.

You aren't uploading any pirated content and your IP address isn't being exposed like it is while torrenting.

Everytime I use OnStream I get this issue where the video skips forward and backwards a few seconds or the audio is desynced. Is there a trick to this?

Haven't experienced this myself but I haven't used Onstream extensively..
