[Update: And Singapore] Google Play Movies Now Shows Flicks In Indonesia And Malaysia

Streaming movies from Google Play is rather nice. I sort of scoffed at the feature at first, wondering why I'd want to spend that much money to rent a movie when I could wait and buy a physical copy later. But hey, $3 to $5 really isn't that much compared to watching a film in theaters, and it lets you see a movie much sooner than waiting for the DVD version to drop in price.

The thing is, Play Movies isn't available all over the world. But we've had a few readers let us know that the service has gone live in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Ooops! Noah is gone... but fortunately you can still see what happens to the animals on the Ark. The 3D animated film All Creatures Big and Small is now debuting exclusively in the Play Store, and you can download the HD film in its entirety for free.

This light-hearted movie asks the question of what happened to the animals that didn't make it on board Noah's Ark. It follows Finny and Leah as they try to survive the flood and find safety on the tallest mountain. Meanwhile, their parents attempt to turn the Ark around and rescue their kids. The subject matter may be Biblical, but the tone is hardly preachy.

Verizon Wireless Pushes Out Xperia Z3v OTA Update Enabling HD Playback In Play Movies And More

Verizon Wireless Pushes Out Xperia Z3v OTA Update Enabling HD Playback In Play Movies And More

Bertel King, Jr. Bertel King, Jr.

The Xperia Z3v is the Z3 with Verizon branding. Since the logo alone isn't enough to keep customers happy, the carrier also provides them with the largest network in the US and occasional over-the-air updates. Currently it's pushing out an OTA (version 23.0.E.1.44) that hits the Sony flagship with a number of enhancements.

The standout item on the changelog, if you're into Play Movies, is the ability to stream in HD. This is the way video was meant to be consumed on the device's 5.2-inch 1920 by 1080 display.

Other tweaks include improving NFC performance, reducing mobile data notifications during calls, and disabling HTML links in email.

Bertel King, Jr. Bertel King, Jr.

Version 3.6 of Google Play Movies and TV has hit the Play Store, and it shakes a few things up a bit. I'm not going to waste your time with introductions here. Let's just jump right in.

What's New

Out of the box, a new set of slides are there to introduce you to the app.

The Managed Downloads screen has received a refresh, and it's not just about looks. Content is now separated into My Movies and My Episodes. Items are also arranged into a list rather than cards. Lastly, the storage bar now located at the top shows how much space your videos are taking up and how much is still free.

Play Movies Is Now Ready To Stream Motion Pictures In Hungary, Macedonia, Ukraine, And 6 More Countries

Bertel King, Jr. Bertel King, Jr.

Play Movies is hardly a one-stop-shop for all of your video consuming needs on a mobile device, but that doesn't mean it's not a convenient option to have around. People throughout nine countries predominantly concentrated in Europe can now choose to turn to Google to rent or purchase certain films. The service has expanded to new countries, many of which also recently received Play Music.

If you click on the red Play Movies icon on an Android device in Macedonia, what you will see should look something like this.

Play Movies & TV Becomes Latest Google App To Reach The 500 Million Downloads Milestone

Bertel King, Jr. Bertel King, Jr.

Google's apps, alongside Facebook's, remain the only Android apps to reach over 500 million users. Some of the tech giant's offerings, such as Gmail and YouTube, have even managed more than a billion downloads.

Now Play Movies & TV has become the company's latest app to join the former category. On Google Play, it resides in the 500,000,000 - 1,000,000,000 range.

This is a significant achievement for Play Movies, a brand that has only really been around since the Android Market turned into the Play Store not much more than a couple of years ago. While the service has expanded into many countries, TV shows are only available in a handful.

Play Movies 3.3 Lets You Pre-Order New Movies And Stream Them As Soon As They Come Out [APK Download]

Bertel King, Jr. Bertel King, Jr.

The latest version of the Google Play Movies app has been rolling out to users over the course of the past week, and while we found in the code that the changes had something to do with placing pre-orders, we had to wait for Google to flip a switch somewhere for the functionality to get exposed. Now that Google has taken to its social network with the news, consider that switch flipped. Play Movies 3.3 is ready to let you pre-order upcoming releases so that they're added to your library and available for streaming the moment they come out.

These pre-orders are for purchases only, so prices range from $12.99 to $14.99 depending on whether you want to watch the video in SD or HD.

Play Movies Is Now Ready To Stream To Devices In Austria

Play Movies Is Now Ready To Stream To Devices In Austria

Bertel King, Jr. Bertel King, Jr.

We usually point people to the Play Store for apps, but it's really a one-stop-shop for all the things, depending on where you live. Due to laws, licenses, and any number of variables, products aren't simply available to everyone at once, which makes it our job to inform you when things pop up in another area. As it turns out, Play Movies has launched in Austria.

Here's what an Android Police reader in Austria was pleasantly surprised by when they recently paid the Play Store a visit.

Sure enough, Austria has made the list on Google's Play Store support page as well.

Play Movies Now Showing In Ireland

Bertel King, Jr. Bertel King, Jr.

Play Movies have been available on Google Play for years now, but this is the case only in certain parts of the globe. People living elsewhere have to wait patiently for their countries to get added to the list. Ireland is the latest one to gain support, so its residents can now fire up the Play Store to download movies. TV shows, however, are not available.

When it comes to Google Play content, movies have a relatively broad reach. They are available to more parts of the world than books, music, and TV shows. Still, there are many countries left to go.
