iQIYI is the official app for Windows of this popular Chinese streaming platform, offering a catalog of movies, series, dramas, cartoons, TV shows and even sporting events. Known as "Chinese Netflix", this program gives you access to a huge catalog where you will find original content and lots of movies and series licensed specifically for the platform. You can even enjoy live international sporting events.
Watch the best content without registering
You don't need a user account to use iQIYI. As soon as the program is installed, you can start watching any movie or series you like, as a guest. In fact, you can enjoy almost all the content on the app without having to enter any personal information. That being said, some of the platform's content is exclusive to registered users. Luckily, you can easily sign up using any email address, as well as your Facebook, Google or TikTok account. The choice is yours.
Free, Standard VIP and Premium VIP accounts
After registering with iQIYI, you will have a Free account. Free accounts only allow you to watch content in 720p, have unskippable ads, and do not allow you to download content for offline viewing. The Standard VIP account, on the other hand, allows you to enjoy streaming in up to 1080p, completely removes advertising from the app, allows you to download series and movies, and provides access to exclusive content that is not available to Free users. The Premium VIP account offers similar features, with the added bonus of supporting resolutions up to 4K and 4 simultaneous displays.
Movies, series, cartoons and more
iQIYI has a vast content catalog, with hundreds of thousands of movies of all possible genres, both from China and other countries around the world. All the app's content, as we have come to expect from this type of streaming platform, has different audio and subtitle options. The Kids Mode also deserves a mention, which can be activated by clicking on the tab in the upper left corner of the interface. This special mode is limited to content oriented toward children, especially cartoons. It is an ideal way for little ones to entertain themselves for as long as they want.
All iQIYI content on your PC
Download iQIYI and access a virtually endless catalog of streaming content that you can watch from the comfort of your PC. Note that if you already have a user account from the Android version, you can log in with the same account on your PC. In fact, if you have a VIP subscription you can enjoy your content on your PC screen and on the screen of your mobile device.
Editor's opinion
iQIYI is an interesting streaming platform as it offers a huge amount of exclusive content, produced directly by its parent company. All this content, however, is in Chinese. If you are having trouble navigating the interface due to the language barrier, you can always use an app to translate the text using the camera of your mobile device. Thanks to this little trick you can navigate any interface with relative ease.
