Is it totally legal?
Stremio is a 100% legal, unlike Popcorn Time it's not designed and distributed only for infringement use cases. Of course, just like Plex, you can use torrent add-ons with it. Something to point out is that we do suggest to the users add-ons which are popular in the area, so it makes any experience very streamlined.

How does it compare to Plex? Seems very similar.
Besides the usability and ease of use, it's pretty much the same concept :)
Plex cannot solve these issues easily, because of it's technical design, the add-ons system / concept itself and the server architecture that is so important for their users
Think of Stremio as a possible Plex for the masses.

in a way yes as its using an add-on called JC torrents to get all the tv shows and movies on the app the app it self dose not make any add-on's and its open sourced if you want to have a look and you can ask the devs questions on facebook the are very responsive :-)
So, sorry you are making yourself liable by trying to do a work around what popcorn time was doing, as well your marketing on the site and the comments you leave here and elsewhere on the iNet makes you culpable no matter what country your in.
Overall your site looks awesome and I miss popcorn time and happy to see another similar app pop up. No doubt there will be tons more similar apps after yours gets shut down by the copyright dummies; dummies because they need to change their game/business model. Make the social experience of going to a movie theater something that makes that experience piracy proof and let piracy run rampant but they make money from it somehow. Let all of us hackers create amazing innovation around their content and they buy/own the best inventions... not sure, but they need to do something different if they are concerned about piracy. Though Star Wars did just make a half a billion dollars in one weekend and other films did similarly this year too, so they aren't suffering!

But, your app, your marketing on the site(the movie & tv show images of copyright content) and comments here is called contributory infringement. https://ilt.eff.org/index.php/Copyright:_Infringement_Issues .

Also, have you checked out the app from the US/UK/anywhere where Netflix is supported?
Using movie/series marketing materials to promote links to Netflix, Hulu and iTunes - I don't think that's infringement in any way.
Also, we cannot control what OTHER add-ons appear in the app. If we receive complains we'd be happy to stop them.
We're trying to build the next Plex, not the next Popcorn Time.
Otherwise good points about the industry, but that's not our war to fight :)

If you test it out, you'll find out. It's much easier to setup & use. Besides the usability and ease of use, it's pretty much the same concept :) Plex cannot solve these issues easily, because of it's technical design, the add-ons system / concept itself and the server architecture that is so important for their users Think of Stremio as a possible Plex for the masses.
So my quick review: It's like Plex with popcorn time built in.
What's with disabling pinch zoom on mobile devices?

Hey, Im all for this ... copyright will soon get fed up with the constant whack a mole and embrace all the hackers/innovators for the better of their bottom lines. They just need to bring on tech/entertainment talent to run their companies ... it will happen one day.
Is there a place to view all the add ons?
