- Latest movies (Hollywood, Bollywood, South Indian)
- Web series from platforms like Netflix, Prime, etc.
- Live TV and Sports channels
- HD streaming and download options
It also supports external subtitle files, making it more user-friendly than many other free streaming apps.

How to Add Subtitles in the Castle App
Follow these simple steps to add subtitles to any video in the Castle App:
Step 1: Launch the Castle App
Open the Castle App on your Android device. Make sure you have the latest version installed for the best compatibility.
Step 2: Play a Video
Choose any movie or episode you want to watch. Tap the Play button to start streaming.
Step 3: Tap the Subtitle Icon
While the video is playing, you will see a menu or overlay control bar (depending on your device). Look for a subtitle icon (usually marked as “CC” or a text bubble).
Tap it to open the subtitle settings.
Step 4: Load External Subtitle File
The app will give you the option to either:
- Search for subtitles online, or
- Upload a local subtitle file manually
To upload manually:
- Tap “Browse” or “Upload Subtitle”.
- Navigate to the folder where your .srt or .sub file is stored (commonly in the Downloads or Subtitles folder).
- Select the subtitle file.
The subtitles should now sync with your video. If not, you may need to adjust the timing (more on that below).
🛠 Using External Players (MX Player / VLC)
To enable external player support:
- Go to Settings inside the Castle App.
- Select Preferred Video Player.
- Choose MX Player or VLC (must be installed separately).
When you play a video, it will open in your selected player, where you can:
- Load subtitles manually
- Adjust sync settings
- Change font size, color, or style
This method is ideal for users who need more control over subtitle appearance and timing.
Important Tips
- Keep subtitles and video in the same folder and with the same name (e.g., movie.mp4 and movie.srt) for auto-detection.
- If subtitles don’t appear, ensure they are enabled in the settings or player menu.
- Always download subtitles from reputable sites to avoid corrupted or malicious files.
