Cinema APK is undeniably the best streaming app for watching movies and TV series. However, you may experience buffering issues from time to time with the app. Buffering can be extremely annoying, especially when are watching your favorite movie or TV show. This isn’t uncommon with streaming apps and services, in fact, one of the common issues that all streaming apps share is buffering.

Normally, the buffering issue refers to a slow internet connection. However, this may not always be the case. While some buffering issues are out of our control, others are easily fixable. This guide takes you through the possible solutions to fix Cinema HD buffering.

Now, let’s get started and I am confident you will be able to easily resolve all Cinema APK buffering issues with the quick solutions provided in this guide.

Why is Cinema HD APK Buffering?

First of all, let’s understand what buffering is. Buffering is essentially video lag, which is when you see a buffering notification or a loading icon.

When we stream a video on our device, the app/service always downloads some amount of video in advance so that it has that data in reserve. This makes sure there aren’t any lags in the streaming process, making sure you experience flawless playback. However, there are times when this process does not work that well, that’s when you see buffering errors.

There are 4 common factors which could cause Cinema HD buffering problems. These include:

  • Poor Internet Connection
  • Other applications/devices hogging your network bandwidth
  • Particular Content Restricted in your Geo-Location
  • Low Storage/RAM

Solutions to Cinema HD APK Buffering Issues

Although Cinema HD is our topic of interest here, you can use these solutions for all the streaming apps and services as a buffering problem is common among all the streaming apps.

Now, let’s see how you can fix these Cinema APK buffering errors. Here are some quick solutions to fix the buffering issues instantly:

Solution 1: Check your Internet Speed

The buffering issues are usually caused by a slow internet connection. If the speed is too low, it will result in buffering issues. So, the first thing you need to do is check the speed of your internet connection with the help of the Internet Speed Test App. Here’s how you check internet speed:

1. From the FireStick home screen, access the Search icon

Solution 2: Optimize Your Wi-Fi for Smooth Streaming

It is also possible that the other applications are hogging your network bandwidth. If you are using multiple devices at the same time or even streaming and downloading simultaneously, in the background, they will be battling for network bandwidth.

Check what else is using the same internet connection when you are trying to stream on Cinema. There may be other devices or activities that are hogging a lot of that precious bandwidth that is necessary to stream on Cinema APK. You could just turn off other devices or prioritize devices in your router’s settings.

Solution 3: Use a VPN Service If Your Cinema APK is Buffering

It is a well-known fact that ISPs block streaming requests from third-party apps. It is also said that they cut down the speed of your internet connection upon detecting the streaming requests from such apps. That could be one of the biggest reasons why you experience buffering problems.

Thankfully, there is an easy way to avoid this issue – use a VPN. A VPN service will encrypt your streaming requests and make it completely undetectable by the ISP. It will also provide all-round security to your online activities.

I personally recommend ExpressVPN for all your devices. It uses high-grade encryption technology, also used by the USA Military. It offers high-speed connectivity and is the most streaming-friendly VPN I have known. You can use ExpressVPN on up to 5 devices simultaneously including FireStick, Android TV, Android Mobiles, Mac, Windows, Linux, Routers, and more. 

Here are the quick steps to use a VPN with Cinema HD:

1. Click HERE to sign up for ExpressVPN

    I purchased Alldebrid, and every premium link lists “need resolved”. I (per alldebrid suggestion) do not have a VPN. Zero of the premium links are accessible due to the “Nees resolved” status. Alldebrid says this is a Cinema App issue, but it doesn’t matter what movie link I try, they all state the same thing… “Need resolved”. Any help in resolving this issue would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

      Hi Jerret,

      I use and endorse Real Debrid over any other premium hoster. Therefore, I can’t speak for All Debrid.

      Do you have the latest version of the app? One of the recent versions would not play even the premium links. Try to update it to the latest version by following our guide on How to Update Cinema HD on FireStick.
