Troubleshooting – Popcorn Time not working on iOS
As with any program, paid or otherwise, there are a couple of frequently reported issues with the Popcorn Time for Firestick application. Here are the two most common errors and some resolutions:
- Error Getting Show List – this can be resolved by either restarting the application, or if that doesn’t work, installing an older version of the application.
- No Available Free Space on Disk – this means exactly what it sounds like. There is simply no more space on your Firestick. You can first start by clearing your cache, but if that doesn’t work simply remove excess applications to make more room on the device. If this is a frequent issue you may want to upgrade to a device with more storage.
Importance of VPN for Popcorn Time
Popcorn Time functions through peer2peer sharing, aka torrenting. It is always highly advised that you use a VPN when torrenting copyrighted content.
A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, works by creating a barrier between your data and the sneaky eyes of those seeking it. With a good VPN your ISP, your digital footprint, personal data, and general online activity are completely hidden. This keeps you safe and secure and provides you with the true digital freedom you deserve.
This is especially important on Popcorn Time if you are not experienced with navigating a torrenting site and avoiding copyrighted material. Digital piracy carries a hefty fine and potential jail time, which is a high price to pay for accidentally clicking a sketchy link! With a VPN you don’t have to worry about repercussions for your time in the peer2peer file sharing world.
If you use a VPN and use your Popcorn Time app responsibly, there is no reason you can’t get started with enjoying the best in streaming entertainment today!

Thank you for the guide. It was helpful. I have also followed your advice and have registered an account with NordVPN because I now know I need a VPN and they had a great offer and seem like a really good choice. Thanks again.
In its short history of existence, Popcorn Time has gained attention for all possible reasons. To this day, I still don’t know whether Popcorn Time is legal or not and if you can get in trouble using it especially for US residents
So glad to hear Popcorn Time is available for Firestick. I mistakenly thought it was only available for Apple TV. Love my Firestick and I will love it even more now. Can’t wait to check out what’s supposed to be an amazing catalog of entertainment.
I feel better streaming videos on Popcorn Time. Guess you don’t know the reason!! The peer2peer VPN is secured and I do not have to contravene copyright policy. Even if I’m streaming a copyright video, my VPN is good and secured to hide my details
Nice guide ! I wasn’t sure how to install it or if it could work at all, but it seems like it is ! I didn’t know about the need for a VPN though, but it obviously is better, thanks for the advice.
