What Are Your Options for Installing Apps?
If you’re looking for an app that’s not available on Appstore, you’ll have to jailbreak your Fire TV Stick and sideload the app on it. This method’s a bit more advanced, but you can learn to do it by following our guide.
Download Apps Using Your Fire TV Device
To use your Fire TV Stick itself to install apps, then first, access your device’s home screen by pressing the Home button on your remote.
When Appstore opens, you’ll find a variety of apps to install on your device. Here, choose the app you’d like to install.
If you’re looking for a specific app, then in Appstore’s menu bar at the top, select “Search.” Then, type your app’s name and select it on the list.
After selecting an app, on the app’s dedicated page, choose “Get” to download and install the app on your device.
When your app is installed, the “Get” button will turn into “Open,” allowing you to launch your newly installed app. You can open the app from your app library anytime you want.
And that’s how you get new apps on your Fire TV Stick without relying on other devices.
After you’ve signed in, from the “Device Type” section on the left, choose your device. This ensures Appstore only displays the apps that are compatible with your device.
In the same left sidebar, choose your specific Fire TV Stick model so that only the compatible apps are shown.
On the right pane, you’ll see all the apps you can use on your device. Select the one you want to install on your Stick.
If you want to locate a specific app, then scroll up and use the search box at the top.
Then, select “Get App.”
Enjoy streaming content from various apps on your device!
