Showtime, like many of its competitor entertainment content streaming platforms like Amazon and Netflix, allows its users to download the videos so that they may watch later. Users might want to download and watch later for reasons like there is not going to be internet later because they are traveling and network might not be good later, they want to watch the video more than once and do not want to get their data to get used for streaming the video every time they want it. This feature for downloading videos on Showtime is available on Android, iOS, and Amazon Fire tablet devices only.
