Popcorn Time makes it ridiculously easy to “freely” stream almost any movie you want to your iOS device, but unless you have a jailbroken iOS device, actually getting it on the iPhone 6 is impossible, unless you know of a little loophole that allows you to install the banned app.

Adventurous iPhone owners can finally get Popcorn Time by utilizing the same time-hack loophole that allowed others to install Nintendo game emulators and other apps, no jailbreaking required. Popcorn Time isn’t strictly legal, but that’s not stopping thousands from pirating the app onto their iPhones and iPads by simply rolling back the clock on their device.

Here’s how to get ‘the Netflix of torrents’ on your iPhone right now:

Step 1: Go to Settings > General > Date & Time on your iOS 8 device & change the date to September 16th.
Step 2: Open Safari and go to Pgyer.com/timeforpopcorn
Step 3: Tap the green button to install Popcorn Time app.
Step 4: Open Popcorn Time, then tap Trust
Step 5: Go back to Setting > General > Date & Time and switch it back to Automatic
Step 6: Enjoy!

Note: Time-Hack won’t work on iOS 8.1, which is expected to release in late-October.
