Cinema APK Buffering Issues

Cinema HD APK is an excellent third-party app for Firestick. It has an extensive library of TV shows, movies, and live shows. The app has become very popular, but it is not free of issues since it’s a third-party APK. Recently, some users have reported they are facing buffering problems while running the app.

Continuous buffering can be very annoying when you’re streaming. To help you out, we wrote you a list of the best ways to fix buffering on Cinema HD

Why Does Cinema HD APK Keep Buffering?

When you’re streaming on your device, the app makes downloads along with it. They are done in advance, so the streaming is smooth and uninterrupted. However, the app’s cache may build-up, leading to buffering while running Cinema HD. That is just one possible cause. Here are a few other possibilities:

  • Excessive app cache build-up from Cinema HD app or other apps on the device
  • Multiple apps running in the background
  • Your ISP has put restrictions on your streaming app
  • There is low storage on your Firestick
  • Cinema HD APK isn’t able to find quality streams
  • You have a poor internet connection
