Hulu App is a subscription video streaming app for Android that plays television series, films and Hulu Originals. It provides on-demand viewing, with additional options for offline downloads and live television depending on the subscription. Hulu serves customers in the United States.
On-demand library and plans
Hulu’s library brings together movies, television shows and original productions. You can browse a series and its episodes, choose a film, or explore the available programming across subjects such as drama and animation. On-demand viewing lets you select what to play rather than follow a channel’s broadcast schedule.
The app offers both an ad-supported Hulu subscription and Hulu (No Ads). Premium network subscriptions can add further shows and films to the selection, but these carry an additional monthly charge.
Viewer profiles
Hulu App supports up to six profiles for a household. Each person can use a separate profile for their viewing, with tailored recommendations rather than one shared set of suggestions for everyone. The app also tracks favorite movies, series and new shows, giving viewers a way to follow programming they want to watch.
Offline viewing
Hulu (No Ads) includes downloads of selected titles for offline playback. A downloaded movie or episode can play without an active streaming connection.
Live TV
Hulu + Live TV adds live channels alongside the on-demand Hulu library. Its programming includes news, movies, events and live sports, allowing subscribers to follow a broadcast as it happens as well as choose something from the library. Sports coverage includes competitions from leagues such as the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL.
Live television requires the corresponding subscription. Regional restrictions and sports blackouts affect what a subscriber can watch, so access to a live channel or sporting event can depend on location.
