Come and try the TVZion Android TV and Amazon Fire app today, which is packed with unique features and working sources to check out. If you are looking for a great Terrarium TV alternative, come try a fully original APK with lots of features today.

The TVZion Android app is an APK that you can load onto any Android device such as a phone, tavlet, or TV Box. Similar to third party Kodi addons that scrape the public internet for media, TVZion does the same thing without requiring the Kodi interface for media playback.

A lot of users have been looking for a Terrarium TV alternative since the popular Android APK pulled the plug back in September and is no longer usable.

Simply put, it is one of the best Android APKs available today. With REAL development and NEW features worth checking out.

As of the 3.4 update, TVZion contains the largest Trakt integration amongst all Android APKs or Kodi addons, Check out the full features and updates list below.

TVZion Android APK Guide: Table of Content

TVZion is a media and title interface. It uses an Android media player, such as VLC or MX Player, to playback files.

TVZion: Kodi Alternative

TVZion is so smooth and packed with features that it might just be the Kodi alternative you are looking for. It has a few nice advantages over Kodi that we like:

1. The interface is as intuitive as the best Kodi builds. You can leave it alone and it works great or customize it to your liking with custom playlists and content.
2. There are less button clicks required to watch content than Kodi.
3. Menus and screens are more graphical and intuitive to Kodi’s “paged” design.
4. The features included in TVZion match some of the most popular ones included in Kodi addons like Seren and Gaia: Full Trakt support, cached torrents, lots of HD scrapers and resolvers (more on all this coming up)!

Have a look below at some of the features and screenshots and consider TVZion as a great Kodi alternative.

TVZion APK Features

The TVZion Android APK has features that aren’t included in any other app. Some of the things we really like include:

1. Extensive Cached Torrent Support – More 4K/HD Content

Cached torrents is a service where Real Debrid and Premiumize store torrent files within their cloud storage cache. When you play media that has a cached version in the cloud, Debrid or Premiumize serve you this file.

Unlike traditional media files stored on file hosts, cached torrent links do not go down. Even better, Debrid services have a much higher bandwidth which means these files are top quality. And TVZion supports them a..

2. The Best Home Screen Interface – Fully Customizable & Beautiful

The number one reason we would recommend an APK over a Kodi addon is because of the home screen user interface that the TVZion Android APK offers. TVZion features a really nice grid format that is both visual and packs a ton of information onto your TV screen.

Check out the pictures at the bottom of this guide to see what we mean!

3. Extensive Trakt Support – Browse Trakt Playlists, Track Watching & More

TVZion supports everything related to Trakt. This means that if you are used to having your collection and watchlists and playlists in your Kodi addons, you’ll. be excited to know that you just need to authorize Trakt within TVZion to  pull up all of this information.

If you don’t know what Trakt is yet, Trakt is awesome and is highly recommended.

TVZion shows suggestions for other titles that are similar you may like.

One nice thing we noticed is that TVZion has a nice “if you like this” feature where it recommends other TV shows and movies in TVZion. This is a feature that does not exist in any Kodi addon.

4. Extensive Link Metadata – Descriptive Video & Audio Quality

TVZion supports advanced metadata such as file size, quality, bit rate, audio channels, and other things people find important. It knows which one is the best and autoplays it for you.

You can also sort and filter and query this metadata to make sure that you only see the quality you want to see.

5. Less Button Clicks – More Watching!

Compared to a Kodi addon or any other APK, the TVZion app doesn’t need as many button clicks. Some examples we noticed of this are:

1. Resume watching series right from the home screen without having to navigate through any menus.
2. TVZion automatically knows which episode you left out on, so you never need to go into the “episode select” screen.
3. Autoplay is enabled by default and works great in TVZion, so you don’t have to pick your sources.

Some of the features above give TVZion a more Netflix-style of feel where you can watch content faster without having to browse through links and options.

There are other smaller examples which are really nice to see.

6. Other Features

In addition to the special features above, TVZion also comes with the following:

• ChromeCast support
• Real debrid support
• Anime includes
• External players support
• Android TV optimized:
• Android TV Leanback suggestions support (Nougat +)
