VidAngel Relaunches As a Family Friendly Filter for Netflix, HBO, and Amazon Subscribers

VidAngel was a service that in the past allowed subscribers to watch edited versions of movies for as little as $1. You would be able to watch a movie free from language, sex, or other filters you wanted to avoid.

Now VidAngle is back as a service that filters Netflix, HBO, and Amazon streams. Vudu support is listed as coming soon.

Here is a video explaining the service:

“VidAngel has wanted to offer filtering on top of popular streaming platforms since the very beginning, but developing it was a challenge. The business hiatus imposed on us by the preliminary injunction allowed us to concentrate all our efforts on finishing it.”

“When VidAngel was shut down by a court ordered preliminary injunction, the company decided to take another look at its long­ preferred method of filtering. Disney had suggested in court that filtering content ordered from a licensed streaming service would satisfy the studios’ various legal concerns. VidAngel has always believed that such a system would be the best path forward for many, many reason ­­no “out­of­stock” notices, no confusing buy­sellback model, no need to try to purchase thousands and thousands of discs at retail, no need to worry about how to provide filtering when the studios stop selling discs, no need to store and inventory thousands of discs, etc. It took VidAngel’s engineers six months to complete the technology that had been years in development. At many points in the process, the project seemed technologically impossible. Through incredible persistence, they overcame the challenges to create the program.” VidAngel said in a statement.

VidAngel is $7.99 a month with a one month free trial. You will be able to pick what you want to filter out content you don’t want and find content you still want.
