Here’s All the Details on the Newly Launched Quibi Streaming Service
Free trial, price and how-to sign-up with the streaming service
Many people are sitting at home these days due to coronavirus fear. They are looking for some new source of entertainment. The desire of those people has been fulfilled as Quibi streaming service has been launched and it’s also available for free in Australia (for 3 months).
Quibi streaming service is backed by Jeffrey Katzenberg, an entertainment billionaire. The name Quibi is short for Quick Bites, and the service lives up to it. What helps make Quibi streaming service different than other streaming services like Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, Apple TV, etc. is that it offers only short and snackable content.
People who are bored with binging for hours (or even days) on Netflix just to finish one series will surely think Quibi streaming service is an improvement. All the episodes are less than 10 minutes long and some last just 3 minutes.
Quibi streaming service is available in Australia easily as you can download an app and enjoy it in a vertical or horizontal format. The app comes with a 90-day free trial post which you need to pay AUD 12.99 a month. In the US, Quibi streaming service will have a cheaper version with ads and a costly ad-free version. It is unclear whether the same will apply to Australia or not.
Some big names are attached to Quibi streaming service. Chrissy’s Court Offerings starring Chrissy Teigen is among the offerings. Users can also expect some unique shows like 48 Laws of Power by that will be produced by Drake.
Two amazing things come to mind when considering Quibi streaming service. First, Aussies don’t need to get a VPN to enjoy the content. They can simply download the app from Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Second, the consumption of content is useful when someone is doing small but boring stuff like standing in line for a coffee. It’s also a smart entertainment option during commutes or when working in the kitchen.
Two things that might stop someone from trying Quibi streaming service is the high price and mobile viewing only. To justify the price, the streaming service must ensure that each content it launches hooks people easily. Watching it only on mobile (because it’s impossible to Chromecast or to use the Screen Mirroring Function) could be tough for some people and make them reconsider the worth of this service.
