To enjoy a great experience, always make sure you're running the latest Popcorn Time version.
Our only official site is get-popcorn.com (for now). Do not get the app from anywhere else, as there's a few fake sites going around.
Popcorn Time! is the result of many developers and designers putting a bunch of APIs together to make the experience of watching torrent movies as simple as possible.
We are an open source project. We are from all over the world. We love our movies. And boy, do we love popcorn!
Depends on where you're located, really. Once again: we're using torrents, so if you really care, you'd better google what the legal situation regarding this protocol is where you live.
Indeed, you are! You're going to be uploading bits and bytes of the movie for as long as you're watching it in Popcorn Time.
Your movies will stay buried in a secret folder somewhere in your drive until you restart your computer. Then they will be gone for good.
Most definitely! You're going to have to download it manually for now, but fear not! If you're on version Beta 2.x or upwards, you'll be notified within the app. Other than that, we'll let you know through Facebook and/or Twitter.
We search for movies uploaded by YIFY. Better ask them how they are handling this!
Chances are that most (if not all) of the movies available in Popcorn Time will be in English. However, languages for subtitles and the app itself are constantly being added by our lovely contributors.

Open a Terminal, and type:
Living on Queen Elizabeth's realm and using old version (<2.8), aren't you? There's a workaround for this issue in version 2.8 and onwards, but there's no guarantee it will work. Check out the Black list for more information on website blocking in the UK.
You may have to wait until all of the movie data (cover, summary, length, etc...) is retrieved. Sometimes it may be something else!
Our efforts are currently focussed towards making the best desktop app for watching torrent movies. So launching versions for other devices is not in our immediate roadmap.
Currently the app is compiled only for Win/Linux32/Linux64/Mac but if you want to try it on ARM go for it!
Well yes, the app has had some difficult times since its inception. The best place for the latest info and updates is the IRC channel #popcorntime on freenode.
