Starz hit series ranging from "Outlander," "Power" and the upcoming "American Gods" and other TV content, to Hollywood hits and popular movies including Avengers: Age of Ultron and, later this year, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The standalone "STARZ" service allows for up to four users to watch simultaneously and virtually unlimited downloads.
Starz is available through the App Store for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV. The new
Starz app is also available through the Google Play Store on a wide range of Android supported devices.
STARZ subscribers from participating cable, satellite and telco partners can also authenticate and view
Starz in the new, easy-to-use app. Users can purchase a subscription or authenticate
