Local live-streaming app for Asia
WeTV is a free streaming app available on the Apple Store and Google Play that enables users to watch movies, series, documentaries, cartoons, and other TV programs over the internet from their smart devices.
Similar to Netflix and Disney+, this live-streaming portal features shows produced mainly in East Asia and available in 12 languages to locals and ex-pats. Users watching WeTV shows live can keep up with TV entertainment in their native tongue, but most of the content is produced in East Asia.
What is WeTv?
The WeTV streaming service lets users access an online catalog of mainly Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, and Korean shows on their mobile devices and smart TVs. The catalog includes TV series, documentaries, anime, and variety shows. Most content is made up of romance dramas.
What’s special about it?
WeTV is unique among free streaming apps in terms of functionality. Users can adjust picture quality, select the resolution to save cellular data, opt for full HD, switch between 12 languages during play, and pick up where they left off at any time. They can also select their preferred speed (3x, 2x, 0.75x) or opt for picture-in-picture viewing.
Is it free?
Users can download the WeTV app for free from the Apple Store or Google Play to use on their tablet, smartphone, or AppleTV. They can then upgrade to a paid subscription to avoid watching ads. WeTV uses its own currency called "coins," which can be used to buy paid-for films, dramas, on-demand episodes, TV comic novels, and gifts.
Streaming Asian shows for locals and ex-pats
The WeTV streaming portal features TV shows in 12 languages. It also has a very similar layout and functionality to Netflix, but for a fraction of the price.
