Lifetime: TV Shows & Movies

Lifetime turns your Android device into a home for entertainment—especially for viewers who love the network’s lineup of distinct, high-quality stories aimed at women. Through the app, you can browse and stream a large collection of Lifetime favorites, including popular series such as Married at First Sight, Dance Moms, and Little Women, along with original movies like Flowers in the Attic and Vanished: Searching for My Sister.

You can watch full episodes, continue through entire seasons (new and classic), and also look for extras such as exclusive clips and deleted scenes. For convenience across devices, the app supports profiles, so you can pick up right where you left off on your phone, tablet, or other supported device.

Interface & Access

The app features a newly redesigned interface to make browsing and navigation simpler and to improve the overall streaming experience. It’s a free service; if your TV provider is compatible, signing in can give you access to an even wider selection of content.

Additional Notes

The app may also help support television measurement via Nielsen’s proprietary measurement software, contributing data used for TV ratings research.

Please note: the streaming library is available only within the United States. If you’re in the U.S., you can enjoy a mix of dramas, reality shows, and movies on demand—making it a solid option for people looking for their next binge.

User Comments

One reviewer said the app is great and appreciates that it’s free, adding that they believe most Lifetime content is available—though they note movies may be handled through a separate app. They do mention that the ad volume is heavy and can feel repetitive, especially when ads repeat back-to-back for a long time, sometimes making it feel like there’s more advertising than video content.

Another comment also praises how much content is available without cost, but calls out issues with how ads play. The reviewer explains that the same ads can show up repeatedly in quick succession, including during the middle of watching a show, and that the ad sequences can last long enough to become frustrating when you just want to continue the episode. They suggest that using a wider variety of ad creatives (instead of the same ads repeating) could make the experience better.
