ACE Stream is the new name of ACE Player and puts you in contact with live television with just a few touches of your screen. Compatible with most devices running an Android operating system, it is a must-have for fans of live sports. You no longer need to miss seeing your favorite teams play because you are stuck at work or don't have the right cable package. With this app, you can check out live television and top events no matter where you are or where you go.

Whether you love cricket and baseball or NASCAR and extreme sports, you can use this app to watch your favorites. It does not require that you download other apps or new stations to access those events. The app functions as a media player and puts live television on your screen. It uses a magnetic link to find a BitTorrent that relates to what you want to watch. You don't need to spend a lot of time looking for the right torrent or adding it to your phone. The app both finds that torrent and instantly adds it to let you watch it through the media player.

This is more than just another Android app because it is also compatible with devices running Windows. Once you open it, you can choose which browser you want to use to watch content from options such as Firefox and Chrome. You need to make sure that your device has enough space for the app and the content that you want to watch. Some users found that it wouldn't play because they did not have enough temporary space for the torrents. Take a few seconds to check your memory before picking a program or event to watch.

The first time that you open the app, you'll find a clean layout that makes it easy to find what you want to watch. It has a handy search button on the top that you click once to search. Enter the name of the program that you want to watch and simply select one to add the torrent to your device. If you previously watched content and didn't finish it, ACE Stream will show you where you left off. The app also tells you how much of the video you watched and the time remaining.

As a media player, ACE Stream does a good job of turning your phone or tablet into a television screen. You will find large buttons across the bottom of the screen that let you skip scenes and rewind your videos. Those buttons work as you watch videos that you saved on your device as well as live streams. You can use the buttons on the side of the screen to browse the library on your device and switch between videos. It even allows you to switch to a different media player if you don't like the built-in one.

Many users like the ACE Stream is compatible with so many different video formats. Why waste time tracking down an extension and downloading it to your phone just to watch one video? This app can play MOV and MP4 files as well as dozens of others. It supports all types of media that streams on the web and features built-in tools that convert those files as needed. You just pick what you want to watch and load it. ACE Stream is one of the only apps that doesn't require you to download more data and take up extra space on your device to watch your favorite videos.

Though ACE Stream claims that it is a free app, not all videos are available for free. Some charge a fee to view them, which you pay with coins that you buy in the app. Even free content runs with ads that play regularly. Those ads can sometimes cause the app to freeze and crash. When you load the video again, you need to watch the same ads. You might dislike some of the other issues, including the way it runs when you close it and the amount of space that it needs. As the app can run in the background after you close it, you need to force it to shut down.

Those who want a convenient way to watch live television find ACE Stream a useful app. It helps you quickly and easily search for a BitTorrent and instantly save it to your phone. Thanks to the built-in media player, you can convert files in seconds and watch any type of video on your device.
