Some of us love listening to bands or podcasts,&nbsp;while others prefer the action of online gaming or streaming the latest movies and TV shows. Whatever your preference, you\u2019re likely to have a go-to app or site through which you regularly listen, play or watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what if there were a cheaper alternative, or perhaps an app with fewer ads, a greater selection of media, or a site with a more user-friendly interface? Here, we give you our roundup of the best alternatives&nbsp;for online gaming and streaming that just might change the way you keep yourself entertained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mobile Gaming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans of mobile gaming generally choose from the &#8216;most popular&#8217; section of mainstream app stores because&nbsp;lists from popular sources&nbsp;show the player that they can trust the games that are included.&nbsp;But when it comes to slot games and online casinos, these suggestions tend to&nbsp;fall&nbsp;short. This, in addition to the enormous popularity of gambling online, is why&nbsp;casino comparison sites came to be. Similar to &#8216;most popular&#8217; sections of app stores, users can filter through&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonusfinder.com\/uk\/free-spins-no-deposit\">free no deposit UK 2020<\/a>&nbsp;slots for free spins, no deposit bonuses, and a broader range of games. This is just one example of how going further afield than&nbsp;app store options can save you money while giving you access to&nbsp;more choice, there are tonnes of&nbsp;underrated entertainment sources out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Music Streaming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify is popular for streaming for good reason:&nbsp;it carries both podcasts and a wide-ranging music catalogue, and it offers high-quality sound. Yet Deezer, a little-known competitor of Spotify, provides listeners with a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2016\/feb\/16\/which-is-the-best-music-streaming-service-spotify-apple-music\">choice of 73&nbsp;million songs<\/a>,&nbsp;a huge variety of podcasts and&nbsp;curated playlists, and it is free.&nbsp;Plus, it comes with far fewer adverts than Spotify&#8217;s free service.&nbsp;Likewise, though Apple Music comes at a price, it is a great alternative to Spotify. It offers staff curated playlists, live radio stations, album and artist suggestions, and an Apple Music Connect feature that gives users access to exclusive releases from musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Movies and TV Shows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s rare these days to find anyone that doesn\u2019t have the Netflix app on their smart TV or mobile device. Yet while it offers users access to its Netflix Originals, its selection of TV shows and movies isn\u2019t all that wide. Alternatives like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.co.uk\/article\/britbox-originals\">UK-based streaming service BritBox<\/a>, however, provide entire box sets of classic British shows and a wealth of&nbsp;original series. What&#8217;s more, at&nbsp;a similar price to Netflix, Amazon Prime hosts lots of original content, as well as classic films and new releases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find Alternatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/library-849797_1280.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/library-849797_1280.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/library-849797_1280.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/library-849797_1280.jpg?resize=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/library-849797_1280.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/library-849797_1280.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/photos\/library-books-tv-multimedia-room-849797\/\">Pixabay.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Classic entertainment apps for online gaming and streaming music, podcasts, TV shows and movies serve a purpose, but just because they&#8217;re the most popular it doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re the best!
