Until I read someone mentioning them on Facebook, but the comment was removed shortly after.

What are these apps, and are they really good and usable on a Fire Stick TV Lite? Is the content they provide comparable to the top online streaming watch online (pirate) websites?

I was going to sell the fire stick and use my PC with an HDMI cable, but I may think twice now.

      I don’t have fire stick. But previously used kodie in a bunch of devices. Strmio is 100% better.

      It doesn’t have as many customisations, but it just works. And has no delays.

      Either app get premiumize and for stremio follow a guide to get the right addons.

      This is what I use. The hexated repo has some good sources, Sorastream is the one I’ve used the most.

      Recently switched to cloudstream from stremio and it seems the selection is much better. The only problem is sometimes it keeps buffering.

    I recently tried streamio on firestick, the app worked great in terms of ui and responsiveness but the services it connected to never worked. 5 was on it by default and each allowed me to browse movies and series but when i attempted to watch them it returned an error or buffered forever. I also tried with and without a vpn to see if that affected it. Personally the way that still works best for me is using a browser such as sideloading firefox and then visiting the websites using a vpn like you would on a laptop

    Edit: while im here, sideload the newpipe apk. Amazing frontend for youtube

    I just use Kodi with the Crew addon

    It’s a bitch to get set up properly, but it gets the job done

    Alternatively, you can always just go to a streaming site using the fire stick’s web-browser.

    They are ok, you get links of 720p 1080p, they work better if you have a debrid account to get even more links. Not sure how good they run on the fire stick lite, I use them on the fire stick 4k and they run very good.

        Yes they are actually pretty good, you just have to find what link work better for you.its a trial am error but once you know what provider works better it’s all good

      Fire stick and the shield are both android devices so you can just install whatever you want
