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.

I had this on my phone for about 10 minutes before I deleted it. I don’t trust it, and don’t recommend people using it.
Cool story bro. I’ve been using it for a year still no problems.
spooky
Too late. It’s already emailing your nude selfies to the internets.
Keeps crashing on my devices.
I wonder how Plex feels about Popcorn Time blatantly ripping of their design?
Just so everyone knows, when you use the computer version of popcorn time you ARE seeding (and risking a lawsuit / settlement offer from copyright holders) when you watch a movie or show… which is why they built in a free VPN for the computer version. The iOS version I don’t believe has a built in VPN so use with caution.
It has VPN built in and in Settings you can activate it. I really don’t know why any other Apple blog is talking about this great news about Popcorn Time and this trick. Neither my Twitter timeline…
That’s not PopcornTime, that is Time4Popcorn, it’s a dangerous piece of software and a ripoff of the real team…
Crashes upon opening…
“Popcorn Time isn’t strictly legal”. No, its totally illegal, or has pirating of digital content been legalised in the last day or so? How can you promote piracy so flippantly?
probably because its awesome
Next time your place is broken in to, remember it isn’t theft, just someone borrowing your stuff without giving anything back.
How can I download a car?
Maybe in your country but this is the internet which might be used by people outside your country. Just maybe.
Try most of the western world. The US, most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, plenty of Asia countries. Did I leave yours out somewhere? If you don’t believe me, google your countries copyright laws have read through. Just because you don’t want it to be so, doesn’t make it so.
im wondering why i cant stream from my iphone to my apple tv, there is a airplay icon on the phone and when i press the icon it is giving me a choice of apple tv or iphone… i can watch and hear trough my phone that is not an issue … when i choose apple tv the movie goes trough the iphone and the sound goes on my tv… so i can see the movie on my phone but i can hear the sound streamed from the phone trough the apple tv on my tv? is there a catch or a setting that i dont see?
does this work for iPad too
i installed this in my jailbroken iphone 5 with ios 7.1.2 and it works like a charm
i also installed this on my friend’s non jailbroken iphone 5s with ios 8.0.2 with the time hack and it works like a charm too
note: you might need to chage the time settings back to normal after clicking install to let it download or conect to wifi and let it download and install then click on trust and enjoy
Is this working for anyone today? I installed yesterday and it worked like a charm. Today, not so much.
Having the same problem. Just stays on the loading screen
Look up movie box, if still works:)
Just stopped working says “tmobile address not available” and gives me options for time4popcorn
This app needs updating, PopcornTime have changed their .eu status to .com
