The device brings the whole world of entertainment to you, but that is with the help of the apps, which makes Firestick what it is. Further in this article: Best Firestick Apps.
Firestick is what it is because of the Apps that you install on the device. Its app library has hundreds of apps from all kinds of genres that you can choose from, according to your preference. While it is great to have options, it becomes quite chaotic and confusing when it comes to choosing the best apps for your requirements.
Don’t worry, though; I got your back.
You can chill and stream videos from Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and YouTube with Firestick, but that’s not all you get with it. Why get contented when we’re getting so much more! You will be flabbergasted when you realize how much more there is to Firestick than a couple of mainstream apps.
There are hundreds of apps in the Store that we can choose from; we get it. But do we need these many apps to get the most out of this device? The answer is NO. While there are many apps that are great in terms of entertainment delivery, some of the others are total crap.
For many reasons, including this, I have decided to list 40+ Best Firestick Apps that will keep you going.
Best Firestick Apps for Safety/Security
1. ExpressVPN
You must have heard about ExpressVPN if you are familiar with virtual networks. ExpressVPN is undoubtedly the best VPN right now for Firestick or any other use. It has been in the industry for years and has been at the top for a while. With its high-speed servers and the smooth ability to bypass geo-restrictions, it is a definite contender for the best VPN and the best app for Firestick right now. I will tell you more about how a VPN works further in this article about Best Firestick Apps.
HOW ExpressVPN WORKS
ExpressVPN creates a private network from a public internet connection to give you online privacy and anonymity. ExpressVPN masks your IP (Internet Protocol) address so that your online actions are virtually untraceable. And most importantly, ExpressVPN establishes a secure and encrypted connection to provide you with greater privacy than even a secured Wi-Fi hotspot.
ExpressVPN essentially creates a data tunnel between your local network and an exit node in another location, which is potentially thousands of miles away, which makes it seem as if you’re in some other country–. Benefits like this give you online freedom and the ability to access the app and websites of your choice, which might not be available in your region.
Elaborating on how ExpressVPN works, it uses encryptions to disorganize the data when it’s sent over a Wi-Fi network, which makes the data unreadable. Data security is important when you’re using a public (Wi-Fi) network because it prevents anyone from spying on your online activity.
Best Firestick Apps for Movies & TV Shows
1. Kodi
Kodi is an open-source media player supported over various devices, including Firestick, Firestick 4K, and Fire TV Cube. It’s been one of the most popular media streaming platforms since its release. Kodi has evolved over time; it has made many improvements with its software and productivity since its release.
This app is widely known for the availability of pirated from all around the web. Still, it is completely legal to use Kodi and stream open to public domain content. Just like Firestick, Kodi doesn’t have any service provisions of its own. It uses third-party addons that you can install according to your preference.
To know more, check out our list of Best Kodi Addons.
Using third-party addons can expose your device’s security to potential attackers, but if you have already installed ExpressVPN as discussed earlier, you have nothing to worry about.
Many Kodi addons provide unauthorized access to the copyrighted content, which you might not even realize when you are streaming. Your ISP can monitor your activity, and you may face legal actions from the authorities and your ISP. If you still haven’t installed ExpressVPN, there can’t be a better time than right now.
Kodi provides all kinds of media content that you can think of. Movies, TV Shows, Live TV, Sports, Kids Shows, News, Music, Adults Corner, History, Infotainment, Video Game Streams, etc. This app has addons for all kinds of media content and can satisfy your wildest dreams.
You can also customize your Kodi experience by installing different Builds from different repositories. Kodi offers loads of Builds you can choose from according to your preference. Kodi Builds are popular amongst Kodi users because it comes with some of the great preinstalled addons and a more appealing layout.
Check out our article on Best Kodi Builds to know more.
2. Cinema (HD) APK
Cinema HD APK is one of the very popular Android apps for Movies and TV Shows. This app was launched shortly before the fall of Terrarium TV, after which Cinema APK became mainstream. You might be familiar with this app if you are an android user, and you love to stream online content.
This app is not as old as Kodi; it is relatively new if we look at it. The app offers a lot of entertaining content from across the genres, from the latest to old classic Movies & TV Shows. There are plenty of streaming options and sources that you can choose from. That will ensure that you don’t face any roadblocks in your entertainment marathon.
The interface of Cinema HD is user-friendly and feels familiar when you get used to it. It has an auto-play button on the top of each selected content that will automatically select an option for you to play if you are confused about which option to choose.
Cinema APK is a safe move. I’m saying safe because it is a guaranteed entertainer. Give it a try, and thank me later.
3. CatMouse APK
CatMouse APK is a free on-demand video streaming app. Like Cinema APK, this app is also quite new in the business compared to Kodi. The app works great for streaming of online content like Movies & TV Shows. The streaming quality and speed of this app is impressive and won’t let you down once you are onboard.
The app looks and feels like a clone of the discontinued service Terrarium TV. The layout and functions of CatMouse APK look quite similar to Terrarium TV. The app seems quite promising, and giving it a try can’t hurt. Trust me and go for it, it is free.
4. Plex
Plex is a (client-server) media tool that allows you to access your centrally stored media through different external clients.
Let’s make it simpler; for example, Plex creates a media server on your computer for you and lets you access the media like Videos, Pictures, Music, etc. on your hard drive to the external devices like Firestick, Mobile, TV Boxes, etc. with the help of client apps.
Plex provides client apps for almost all devices that support media playback. This app is available in the official app stores of the respective devices—for example, Google Play Store for Android and Amazon Store for Firestick.
One of the practical features of this app is that it doesn’t require your computer (the server) and clients to be connected to the same Wi-Fi. You can access your media from any place you might be, and the computer is at home.
Plex also lets you access different varieties of media content from the web. It does not limit your reach to the data you have on your computer. It has different channels, official and unofficial. These channels will be installed on your server (computer) and let you access them to all connected devices (clients).
There’s more. You can access online content you can access even if you are not connected to your or any server. Basically, it works as an independent server. That’s all I’d like to say about this app for now. Try it yourself and experience the difference.
5. Stremio
Stremio is an online media streaming service that allows you to watch Movies & Shows with plenty of other types of media content. This service is available over a wide range of platforms, including Firestick, Windows, Android, Smart TV, etc.
It’s possible that it may not be available on your device through official channels. For example, it is available on Google Play Store for download on Android Smartphones, and Android TV Boxes that run on stock Android.
Whereas it requires to be installed manually (sideload) on certain devices such as Firestick, and Android TV Boxes that run on Android TV OS (e.g., Mi Box, Nvidia Shield).
Stremio is not as versatile as some of the better apps like Kodi, but it is noteworthy that it is simpler and easier than Kodi. It might not be an issue to some that it isn’t as versatile as Kodi. It will let you watch almost all the mainstream content that you’ll want.
Furthermore, the addons on this app are installed in its cloud storage that will save you some storage on your device. It is very handy and inviting for low-storage devices like Firestick.
6. Typhoon TV
Typhoon TV is a free on-demand content streaming APK, which has plenty of Movies & Shows to offer. The app came into existence after the Terrarium TV was shut down. We have seen many clone apps trying to fill the void of the dear Terrarium TV.
This app delivers loads of great media content free of cost, and oh, you get the Ad-free experience for free. It is one of the best apps for streaming content online.
Apart from streaming Movies & Shows, you can kill your time watching popular and viral videos that are trending at that time. It feels like a clone of Terrarium TV or Cinema HD; it does deliver good content for free, though, without annoying ads. So, I’m not complaining.
Typhoon TV lets you sort and search Movies & Shows by the year it was released. There are movies that are available in 4K. There’s not much to say. Give it a try.
7. BeeTV
BeeTV is a hundred percent (Firestick) remote-friendly, on-demand video streaming app that lets you stream online content on your device. The interface and layout of the app are minimal and attractive. It has thousands of hours of entertaining content available for streaming.
This app came into existence to fill the shoes of Terrarium TV, like many others. The app is incredibly lightweight. It doesn’t host any content on its interface; rather, it has a partnership with other media websites that provides the content offered by BeeTV itself.
BeeTV may not have every single thing you want. It may not have some of your favorite content available. That won’t be much likely, but if so, it has a ‘Special Request’ feature for such cases.
8. Titanium TV
Titanium TV is another clone app of the discontinued and one of the most loved apps Terrarium TV. It is an on-demand media streaming device.
It has recently updated its software with minor bug fixes and some new features. The app claims to be the best Terrarium TV clone, but it fails to deliver HD links to some Movies and shows, which is not the quality of something best.
The new version offers a good deal of live TV channels from all around the globe. It’s a good replacement for your conventional cable if you’re thinking about getting rid of it. It allows you to download content on your Firestick and watch it later offline.
That won’t be much convenient, though, because of the low-storage of the device.
Titanium TV allows you to use MX Player as an alternative media player. MX Player is one of the best and most popular Android media players. Titanium TV also allows you to download subtitles for Movies or Shows you are watching.
9. CyberFlix TV
CyberFlix TV is yet another on-demand video streaming app and yet another clone of Terrarium TV. The app is quite similar to Terrarium TV. The app does a really good job of providing links to the Movies & Shows. It does a nice job when it comes to imitating the fallen champion.
This app has plenty of sources and resolvers to provide you with quality streams. The interface and layout are very similar to Terrarium TV. Its content library has plenty of stuff that won’t let you bore yourself. If you have a Real-Debrid account, you can link it to this app. Doing so will increase the availability of high-quality streams.
10. UnlockMyTV
UnlockMyTV is an online video streaming app that lets you stream media content for free. It is considered to be a fork of a very popular streaming app called Cinema HD. It has a very similar layout and interface as Cinema HD. The settings and user-experience are also very similar.
UnlockMyTV does well in fetching high-quality video links. If you aren’t familiar with the interface of Terrarium TV, it is quite smooth and elegant. It allows you to attach your Real-Debrid and Trakt for higher resolution streaming links and more options. The app gives a good, entertaining-experience overall. Give it a try. You deserve it.
11. BBC iPlayer
BBC iPlayer is a streaming service immensely popular in the United Kingdom. It allows the users to stream almost all of the BBC content like Movies, TV Shows, Documentaries, News, etc. You must have heard about the BBC; it is a household name in the UK and well-known all around the globe.
It is a TV network that delivers high-quality content to the general public in the UK, and with broadcasting partners abroad. BBC iPlayer is a one-stop-shop for all the BBC content you might want to watch.
But sadly enough, BBC iPlayer is restricted to the UK only. It is not accessible anywhere outside of the UK. So, if you don’t live in the UK, BBC iPlayer is not for you.
I’m just kidding. If you have read this article attentively and followed my advice, there is no way you won’t be able to use BBC iPlayer. The first thing I told you to do is install ExpressVPN. We talked about geo-restrictions there. One simple trick will let you use all the benefits of BBC iPlayer for free.
You just have to connect to a server of the UK using ExpressVPN, and BBC is all yours.
12. Netflix
Introducing Netflix sounds naïve. Netflix needs no introduction. It has been in the market since 1997, that’s right. It’s been around since none of the current teenagers were even born.
Some quick facts; Netflix was founded by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in Scotts Valley, California. Its headquarters is located in Los Gatos, CA, and four production hubs, 2 in the US, 1 in the UK, and 1 in Spain.
Most of you people wouldn’t know this, but in 1998, when Netflix was still in the business of selling and renting DVDs, the duplicated house had mixed up a few hundred orders of Clinton’s interview with Chinese Pornography.
A thousand customers who ordered the footage of Bill Clinton’s Grand Jury Testimony about his involvement with Monica Lewinsky got Chinese Pornography instead.
Netflix is, without any doubt, one of the top streaming services out there. You can understand why it is in our list of Best Firestick Apps. There is a healthy chance that you already have a Netflix subscription. Netflix is used in almost all media devices, including Firestick.
13. Tubi TV
Tubi TV is a free on-demand video streaming service that offers over 20,000 Movies & TV Shows from almost all major Hollywood studios. It claims to be the world’s largest ad-supported on-demand video service, well, if they say so.
This app is available over different platforms, including Android, Apple, and Firestick devices. It is available for download from the official channels—Google Play Store for Android, App Store for Apple, and Amazon Store for Firestick.
Tubi TV app runs smoothly on the Firestick. The interface is user-friendly, and the navigation is seamless with fast playback options. It lets you add your favorite Movies and Episodes to the Quick Access, which means, you know what it means.
You can use Tubi TV services without any kind of registration. If you are using it on different platforms, I recommend you sign in so you can sync your browsing history and other relevant data across your devices.
14. TeaTV
TeaTV and Terrarium TV came out at around the same time. It was overshadowed by Terrarium TV for a very long time. It still managed to stay alive. The app has earned quite a bit of attention ever since its competitor went offline.
This app has a good library of media content like Movies & TV Shows, with a minimal and user-friendly interface. The app is small in size and won’t occupy that much in your storage device (Firestick).
TeaTV has seen its bad days. It used to have many bugs, and the software used to be very unstable. The developers of the app have taken it more seriously to make this app better and more usable, ever since the discontinuation of Terrarium TV.
15. MediaBox HD
MediaBox HD is an on-demand video streaming service that offers a wide range of entertaining media content for free. It is widely popular with users from all around the world. The user experience on this app is nice and subtle. The content library is quite alluring with flicks that will keep you going all day/night long.
The app does well in delivering high-definition video links. Movies & Shows library is regularly updated with the latest content, so using it might never get old. While it does alright with providing HD links to Movies & Shows, attach your Real-Debrid with it if you have it.
Now, when I said MediaBox HD is free, it is. But if you are a spender and love to spend your money anywhere you can, you can spend it on this app as well. You can donate money and become a VIP member; it will help the developer keep developing.
16. TVZion
TVZion is yet another on-demand video streaming app that you don’t want to ignore. The app has a good amount of entertaining media content in its library available for free. It has an easy-to-use interface that won’t confuse you with how you’re supposed to do something you want to.
This app allows you to play your desired content with a single click of a button. Unlike other apps, this app doesn’t ask you to choose a link from many links that it scraped from around the web. Instead, it picks the best link available for that content and plays it for you.
If you are looking for an alternate for Terrarium TV, try this out. Don’t stop looking, though, old apps are developing, and new apps are coming every day.
17. FreeFlix HQ
FreeFlix HQ is a free on-demand video streaming app. It has a content library of Movies, Shows, Anime, Live TV, Adults Corner, etc. The content library is full of new and old titles alike. It is updated regularly to ensure that users get their entertainment from time to time. You may find some latest movies and episodes here if you look properly.
The interface is one of the best parts of this app. It is frill-free, user-friendly, and has a very smooth and elegant feel about it. FreeFlix HQ looks very good on bigger screens of the likes of a Smart TV. Since we are talking about Firestick, it is a good advantage to have a sized-screen-friendly app.
18. Morph TV
Morph TV came in as a replacement for a very popular Firestick app Morpheus TV. Morpheus TV hasn’t shut down yet; it is still online. Having said that; its developers have announced that there will be no new updates for the app or the content. The old media library is still accessible, but you won’t find any latest content in there.
Meanwhile, some developers had started working on a substitute already. Morph TV is a great alternative for Morpheus TV. The interface is unsophisticated and feels smooth. The app gets regular updates for software as well as the latest content.
There are a few drawbacks when we compare it to Morpheus. The new app does not support Real-Debrid. For Real-Debrid enthusiasts, keep your fingers crossed and hope that it shows up in future updates.
19. Crackle
Crackle is a free video streaming platform by Sony Entertainment. You can find the best, award-winning movies and Shows on this app without much trouble. You should register on Crackle if you are an entertainment enthusiast. Yes, it does require signing up.3333
When we talk about media streaming services, there aren’t many options available that are free. One thing you have to keep in mind is that Crackle is not charging anything in return for some of the very entertaining content. While it doesn’t come near its premium-priced counterparts, it is still worth noticing.
Crackle is not available globally as of now. It is only available in certain regions, which are the USA, Australia, the Caribbean, and 17 Latin American countries. But still, there is no need to get upset if Crackle is not available in your region. You can use ExpressVPN to tunnel your IP to one of the IPs in the USA or any other country where Crackle is available.
20. OneBox HD
Sound familiar? If you are an old Android user and love streaming free entertaining content on your smartphone, you must have come across OneBox HD. It’s been one of the most popular third-party apps for free media streaming on Android devices.
OneBox HD didn’t use to provide remote compatibility for Firestick. The recent updates have changed that. OneBox HD is now compatible with Firestick. The content library is updated regularly alongside the software itself.
But there is a problem!
The main screen does not feature any new additions or popular choices. You have to manually search on the app to find the content you want to see, whether it’s new or old.
21. Disney+
Disney+ is one of the most recent on-demand platforms to be released. It was launched in November 2019. It was launched with support over almost all the devices, which includes Amazon FireStick. Disney+ is the official on-demand video platform from the Walt Disney Company
This platform is relatively new in the on-demand video market, but not so much in the entertainment market. Walt Disney has been in the entertainment industry for almost a century now. And since this platform’s main intention is to entertain people, well, you know what I’m getting at.
As I said just now, Disney+ is new compared to the other on-demand video streaming giants like Netflix, Hulu, (Amazon) PrimeVideo, Apple TV, etc. Yet, the pricing difference between them is something you want to take a look at. Netflix costs you $12.99/month, while Disney+ gives you a month at $6.99, which is $6 less than Netflix.
You can call Disney+ a Science-Fiction database, while it’s not entirely accurate, well it’s not entirely a hoax either. Disney+ houses all the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, and it has all the Star Wars movies. You tell me what is this if this is not Sci-Fi heaven.
Apart from that, Disney+ gives you classic Disney Channel shows and movies like High School Musical, Wizards of Waverly Place, Suite Life on Deck, and much more. One more thing, if you are Verizon user, you get a free year on Disney+.
22. Popcorn Time
Popcorn Time is an on-demand entertainment service that allows you to stream Movies & Shows for free. The app is packed with a decent amount of entertaining content in its library, which you can stream at up to 1080p Full HD resolution.
The app is designed for Android Smartphones and does not provide full support to Firestick remote. It does a decent job when you ask it to entertain you. The interface is user-friendly, and the streaming experience is not bad at all.
One problem with this app would be its poor support for Firestick remote, which you can resolve with Mouse Toggle.
23. Morphix TV
Morphix TV is one of the new kids on the block. It is an on-demand video streaming app that lets you stream media content for free. It’s been developed in the likeness of a fork of Morpheus TV, which is Morph TV.
We have already talked about Morph TV in this article about the Best Firestick Apps. The app was launched with a content library of Movies exclusively. With the recent updates, it has started providing streaming options for TV Shows as well.
Morphix TV has the feature we were talking about earlier in this article, One-click playback. Like we have already discussed, when you click on the Movie or TV Show you want to watch, it will start playing with the best link that is available in its search. It won’t ask you to choose the link you want to play.
The app is still under development. We can assume that Morphix TV aims high, and will do everything in its power to beat Morph TV. It is only starting, though, it’s a long way to go. Give it a try, though; it’s free.
24. Nova TV
Nova TV is another on-demand video streaming app that lets you stream movies and shows online for free. It has a decent amount of good Movies & TV shows in its library. The developers of this app are very active and provide time to time updates, software, and the latest content alike.
It is very small in size and won’t occupy a lot of space in your storage device, in this case, your Firestick. It works very smoothly on Firestick as well as other devices. Although the app does not have one-click playback support, it does a good job of scraping the internet for quality links for the content you picked for streaming.
The app lets you attach your Real-Debrid account with it. Doing so will increase the number of quality links that the app is showing you.
25. ShowBox
ShowBox has been one of the most popular third-party on-demand video streaming services on the Android platform. The app has been in the limelight since its release. ShowBox is among the first third-party apps that provided Movies & Shows on-demand along with Live TV channels from different regions.
The content library of this app is still regularly updated by a team of active developers. The app is free to use and proffers media content from all kinds of genres. It allows the users to stream the content in SD, HD, and Full HD resolution.
The service is free and may provide illegal access to copyrighted content. So be careful about what you are choosing to play. ExpressVPN will save you from these mistakes, but it is still recommended that you do your research before playing anything.
26. Viva TV
Viva TV is an on-demand video service that lets you stream entertaining content from its library for free. It is trusted by many users from around the globe. While it is not as popular as Kodi’s likeness, it still has a place in the hearts of some entertainment enthusiasts.
The interface of the app is friendly to use, with minimal design and quick response to actions. The app categorizes Movies and TV Shows with different genres, sorts them in order the year they were released in, ratings, and of course, in alphabetical order.
It allows you to save the content you are streaming with one click directly to your device. It provides you options to choose in what quality you want to stream your Movies & Shows, from 360p up to 4K. The speed of the stream will depend on the server that you have chosen.
The developers of Viva TV have included the “Request” feature that lets you request a Movie or Shows which are not available yet. You may get an update within three days, depending on what request you have made. It supports third-party video players like VLC and MX Player, so if you have a preference, you will be able to use them.
27. Zini Tevi
Zini Tevi provides its users with a wide range of on-demand Movies & TV Shows. The interface of this app is very straightforward. Its home page is featured with Boxset Collections of popular Movie franchises and TV Shows highlighted in the upper portion of the page.
There is a section just below Boxset Collections that displays playlists from various popular production companies like Disney Films, Walt Disney Pictures, Sony Pictures, Dream Works, etc. You can find the section that lists popular and trending Movies & Shows on the home page itself (with thumbnails).
In conclusion, this app is easy-to-use and provides quality content with decent speed. If none of the other options are working for you, why not try this out.

Live Net TV has everything you’d want in an app in which you want to watch Television. If this does not satisfy your inner beast, we have more for you, keep reading, Best Firestick Apps.
2. Haystack TV
Haystack TV is an app that lets you stream over 300 News Channels from all around the world on your device; the only thing you’ll need is a good internet connection. The services are entirely free and served worldwide.

3. Stadium
Stadium is an over-the-top streaming service owned by multiple organizations, which include Meredith Corporation, BAMTech, PGA Tour, Sinclair Broadcast, and Silver Chalice. The app was released in 2018 for Firestick exclusively. It is an internet sports network, and digital Television served on multiple platforms.
The app streams multiple college football games on Saturdays. If you like to spend time watching quality sports matches, you might like this one.
This app has a lot of content for sports lovers, with over 2500 games available, you won’t have much to complain about. All games, even Women’s Basketball, Football, Rugby, and Volleyball, are included in the app. It will let you watch highlights of your favorite game with the feature of VOD.
4. Exodus Live TV
Exodus Live TV is an Android application that offers over 850 live TV channels from around the US, UK, and other countries. This app offers a great number of channels with a buffer-free HD experience, which makes this one clear winner when comparing it to other apps out there in the market.
But, yes, there’s a “but.” Exodus Live TV is not free. You will be required to join the Online TV club to access all the uninterrupted services provided by this app. The subscription can be monthly, yearly, or lifetime, with the monthly plan costing $5.99, annual plan costing $49.99, and the lifetime plan costing $99.99.
The main reason why this app is not at the top of our Best Firestick Apps for Live TV is that it is not free. Even after you pay such amounts of money, your safety is not ensured. The app is not official. It is a third-party app and may provide illegal access to copyrighted content.
Having said that, the app is not totally useless. If you don’t mind spending some bucks on trying out something new, this might be something you’d have to consider.
5. Euronews
Euronews started as a service that gathers news from its broadcast partners from around Europe. It now streams over 23 various news channels from Europe and North African origin, which primarily includes ITN, RAI, RTE, VGTRK, etc.
It has expanded its service area to other parts of the world since its establishment. This app is no longer limited to Europe. The app provides news programs of different kinds in various languages. The app is free-to-use and provides important information. If you are looking for a decent app for only news stuff, this might be the move.
Best Firestick Apps for Music and Game-streaming
1. YouTube
YouTube. There may be someone in this world who haven’t heard this name, or probably not. YouTube is the most popular video streaming platform in the world right now. It has been the most popular video streaming platform for over a decade. But still, for the formalities, I have to introduce YouTube to you.
YouTube is the masterpiece created by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim in 2005 when they were all still employees at PayPal. The idea of it came to its founders at a dinner party at Chen‘s place in San Francisco. It was when they were unable to share the videos of the party because of some email attachment errors.
The founders used their bonuses during the eBay buyout of PayPal to fund the startup. YouTube wasn’t always meant to be the video giant it is today; it was supposed to be a dating website, but the universe had other plans. I can’t complain, though.
The domain name of YouTube (youtube.com) was registered on Valentine’s Day in 2005. The name was all goofed up with the “Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment” domain of which was utube.com. utube.com was flooded with people looking for YouTube because of which “Universal Tube” had to change its domain to utubeonline.com.
It was acquired by the smart player Google in November 2006. It is available to download on your Firestick. Need I say more?
2. Twitch
It will be an insult to the readers who are from the gaming community if I begin explaining what Twitch is. Most of you people would be familiar with Twitch. For those who are not, Twitch is an online content/video streaming platform (mostly games), owned by the Amazon.
Twitch made the headlines in 2014 when Amazon bought it for almost $1 billion, which was quite surprising because back in the day, Twitch wasn’t recognized as widely as it is today. That left many people wondering, “what is Twitch?”. Apparently, Facebook is not the only company that recognizes a potentially champion new-comer.
Although the platform wasn’t much known to the general public, it still managed to garner 45 million views, and the channel claimed the title of the fourth largest source of Internet traffic in the United States. The content of the platform can be viewed on-demand or streamed live.
It is available in Amazon store for download if you want to stream games and stuff online.3
3. Spotify
There’s a very good chance that you’re already familiar with Spotify. It is an international media services provider. Spotify is originally from Sweden, yes, it didn’t originate in the US. However, it is legally domiciled in Luxembourg, yet headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.
Spotify was founded on the 23rd of April 2006, but it wasn’t fully functional yet at the time. It was officially launched in Sweden on the 7th of October in 2008. It was introduced to the USA a bit later, in 2011. The founders of Spotify are Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon.
According to one of the founders of Spotify Daniel Ek, the name of the company was not going to be Spotify. Reportedly, the co-founder of the company Martin Lorentzon had shouted some other name for the company. But Daniel Ek misheard the name and later named the company from a combination of two words ‘Spot’ and ‘Identify.’
There are millions and millions of tracks on Spotify. However, there is a large number of records that haven’t been played in their lifetime. It is reported that about 25% of the total tracks haven’t been played at all, ever. If you know what Spotify is, you would surely want to add it to your Kodi Player.
Spotify is one of the Best Firestick Apps for Music.
Best Firestick Apps for Anime
1. CrunchyRoll
CrunchyRoll is your best mate if you love Asian entertainment and Japanese anime. It is very popular and used all around the world by anime lovers. I’d be surprised if you don’t already have it on your Firestick.
This app has over 25,000 episodes of various anime series with a nonstop entertainment for over 15,000 hours guaranteed. Most of its content is in Japanese, so if you don’t know Japanese, you better start learning. Ok, sorry, I’m kidding.
Crunchyroll has a solution for those kinds of situations. The shows are translated into different languages before broadcasting, so you’ll just have to look for an English dubbed version you’ll be good to go.
All the content available on this platform is fully authenticated and licensed from major Asian media producers. But it is not free. The app is not free to use; you have to buy a premium subscription to avail of these features. You can take a 14-day trial and see if the app is worth it or not.
Best Firestick Apps fro Utility
1. Mouse Toggle
Mouse Toggle is an app that pops up a mouse cursor on your FIrestick screen, which you can use to navigate through display contents. Your Firestick remote will work just fine with the supported apps, but even in supported apps, Mouse Toggle can reach certain sections your Firestick Remote can’t.
The majority of the apps available for Firestick were created/developed with Android smartphones in developers’ minds. While most of the major applications support Firestick-remote support, few don’t. You have been missing out on some of your most favorite Android apps because they don’t support Firestick-remote navigation.
Firestick runs on the modified Android OS. They do support Android APK files, but they’re not touchscreen. All the Android apps are built for touchscreen compatibility; Smart TVs don’t have touchscreens. Mouse Toggle will let you access those applications with Firestick-remote support. This app is made for situations just like that.
2. Downloader
Downloader is a utility app that lets you download files and some of the Best Firestick Apps from around the web to your device (Firestick). Not all of the applications supported in Firestick are available in Amazon’s official Store. There are some major apps that you have to sideload in your Firestick. To do that, you’ll need a utility app that can perform that job.
The download speed on Downloader app is very fast. It is the quickest and best downloader you can install on your Firestick. Downloader app lets you pause your downloads when your internet speed is fluctuating. A poor network can result in the corruption of the files that are being downloaded, not with Downloader.
Downloader has a built-in browser that allows you to browse a certain page from which you want to download a particular file or simply copy-paste the download URL. It will start downloading that file without requiring you to open that webpage.
3. FileLinked
FileLinked is a rebranding of a popular file-sharing app DroidAdmin. The app works excellently as a sideloading tool for the Firestick. You can share all kinds of data using this app—data like Videos, Photos, Apps, Music, Documents, etc. FileLinked is the best sideloading tool for Firestick, after Downloader.
The app allows you to upload your files and encrypt them with a security code, so it’ll only be visible to them whom you will enable to see it (by giving them the code).
