Features of ShowBox: What’s in it For You?
There was a time when YouTube was the King but YouTube is an old hat now. There are several services available online that offer better service and also offer the latest films and TV shows, something that YouTube won’t give you. But before we show you how to download and install Showbox.APK file, we’ll tell you about its features; so that you know what exactly you are getting into:
Free and Easy
The application is free and the interface is user-friendly. It’s dark and comes with a minimal outlook, offering just what you need.
Categories
There are eight sections: Trending, Movies, TV Shows, News, Trailers, Favorites, Downloads, and New Releases. As you can make out from the image that we have posted, the numbers of New Releases are mentioned, so you are always up-to-date.
Entertainment News
Also, Showbox features a News section that is quite handy if you want to be updated on the world of entertainment on a regular basis. We must say that this is a pretty unique feature.
class="wp-block-heading">Notification
The app is very user-oriented. We mentioned earlier about a ‘Favorites’ section. When you favorite a show, you will begin getting notifications on your ‘Favourite’ show in the ‘New Releases’ section. This is another excellent way of keeping track of new updates on those shows you love.
Resolutions and Subtitles
The videos can be viewed in three different formats: 360p, 480p, and 720p. And yes, there is an option for subtitles, but there are some videos that don’t have subtitles, so that’s a bummer.
Mostly Ad-Free
There is only one advertisement at the bottom of the page along with occasional pop-ups which are not very annoying for an app that offers free entertainment.
ShowBox has taken care of subtleties, and there are several things that we really liked. You are better off finding them out yourself. For now, let’s download the APK file for Android.
ShowBox Apk Latest Version: Detailed Information
As you already know, the ShowBox app is not available on the official Google Play Store. It has to be downloaded in the form of an Apk file, something that we host as well. In fact, downloading an Apk file is, at times, actually better than downloading the official app from the store. This is because the Apk files are improved and upgraded more frequently by the developers. Also, certain features come first to these Apk files before they are officially reproduced. Finally, these Apk files remove some of the area-specific restrictions that the developers impose.
Given below are some of the details of the ShowBox APK latest version.

Download ShowBox for Windows: 3 Effective Methods
Now, let’s get down to business. We are going to use three different emulators to get ShowBox to work on Windows PC. What the emulators will do is replicate Android OS and when you would run the app on the platform, it would think it’s working on an Android and would not be able to detect the Windows platform underneath. Here we go:
Method 1: ShowBox for PC Using Andy Emulator
First off, download the emulator from the official website; the link to which to we have provided here. Install it into your Windows desktop.
Then download Showbox APK by visiting the link that we have provided below.
Now open the Andy emulator. At the side of the interface, you should be able to see an “Add” button hit that and navigate to the Download folder. Select the APK file you had just downloaded. It’ll open on the emulator.
And that’s it, guys.
Method 2: Showbox for Windows PC Using Droid4X
The emulator comes with a ton of options for you to tweak and use in different ways, but when it comes to downloading Showbox APK on PC, it works simply. Get the emulator from here and install it into your desktop/laptop.
That done, now you will have to download the Showbox apk file from our page.
As you can see the steps are pretty close to that of Andy’s. Open the emulator and then look for the “Add” apk button. Hit that and upload the APK file onto Droid4X.
After this, you can use the application on your PC whenever you want.
Method 3: ShowBox for Windows Using Nox Player
Nox Player has an official website from where you can download the emulator and then install it on your PC.
You will now need to get ShowBox APK by hitting the download button we have provided on this page.
Once that is done, you will need to open the emulator and add the apk file that you have just downloaded. The app will open on the emulator, and after that, you should be able to use the application whenever you want.
The only catch here is that whenever you want to use the app, you will have to open it using any one of the emulators we mentioned.
ShowBox for Windows 10 (Easiest Method Possible)
Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows 10 was launched back in 2015. And since then several of our friends and family have moved to the new OS. We figured that several of our readers too must be using Windows 10 and thinking if Showbox for Windows 10 is even possible! You’d be glad to know that it is. There is no other guide than the guide that we provided above. Following that should be sufficient.
Install ShowBox for Mac: Is it Even Possible?
We are sorry to tell you but it’s not possible. Showbox is only officially available for Android. For PC, we had a hack but not for Mac; we don’t have a hack for Mac, as of yet. We wanted to clarify this because we had been seeing on discussion forums, people asking for ShowBox on Mac. Just as we noticed, hopefully, the makers of the app have seen it too. And who knows? They might be secretly working on a Mac version of the app already.
ShowBox for Blackberry: 3 Simple Steps
Although not officially available, the application can be used in BlackBerry. There is a very easy way to go about it; all you need to do is follow the steps that we are providing here. First off, the method that we are providing here will work on BlackBerry OS 10.2 or later which includes BlackBerry Q5, Q10, Z10, Passport, Classic, Leap, Priv, Z30, 9982, 9983, etc.
Showbox for blackberry
1# Open Settings->App Manager -> then Turn On ‘Allow Apps from Other Sources’. The reason we will do this is that your phone won’t allow the installation of the app from unknown sources like our web page.
2# Now you’ll need to download the Showbox APK file from our page.
3# After that go to the Download folder or whatever folder the app was downloaded into, tap on it. Follow the installation process and you should be able to use ShowBox on BlackBerry.
ShowBox Alternatives: Wanna try something else?
If you are tired of using the application and want to try out out something else, here are three Showbox alternatives for you:
CinemaBox
Like ShowBox, with CinemaBox, you can stream and download films, TV shows, and even anime. It’s available for free and comes with the typical features that ShowBox offers.
TubeMate
The app, is, however, a bit different for that of ShowBox. With TubeMate you can watch and download videos from video sites like YouTube or Dailymotion.
SnapTube
With SnapTube, you can only download videos and music. There is no streaming service in here. But we really like SnapTube because of its speed and clean interface.
