Controversial streaming service Popcorn Time is on its way to Android tomorrow. The program, currently available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Is an easy way for users to view pirated content without manually messing around with downloading torrents.

Popcorn Time has been called the Netflix of pirated content thanks to its slick interface and headache-free approach to watching video via torrents, legal or otherwise. Moreover, torrented content is often available almost immediately after it is first shown. Bypassing the frequent delays found with TV shows and movies. If the Android app is anything like the desktop program. Popcorn Time will allow users to stream last night’s episode of Game of Thrones with little fuss. Which should help it turn heads in good and bad ways.

TechCrunch recently spoke to the service developers, who mentioned the impending Android app. Based on a fork of the software. The Popcorn Time app for Android should launch tomorrow if all goes according to plan.

Popcorn Time will join the many Android applications that allow pirated content when it arrives. Google has cracked down on piracy apps, purging them when it sees fit. It’ll be interesting to see if action is taken. Or if Popcorn Time even hits the Play Store, to begin with. The app released in a direct download from the Popcorn Time website to skirt any potential queasiness. For those interested, Popcorn Time did come to the Play Store.
