Downloader App Gains Popularity Among Plex and Netflix Users

Downloader helps you to sideload apps on your Firestick. You’ll need it when an app you want doesn’t exist on the Appstore. It works similarly to how you install third-party apps on your Android device, except that some apps aren’t optimized for Fire Stick’s interface. They may look weird on a bigger screen or won’t work correctly with the remote. Downloader itself is available on the AppStore and it’s free. Once you get the app, you’ll use it like a browser and visit different websites where you can download your preferred APK files.

Plex: Your Personal Media Hub

Plex offers an interesting content collection. It also acts as a media server where you organize movies, TV shows, music, photos, and even home videos from a single location. Then you can stream them on your Fire Stick or other Plex-compatible device from anywhere with an internet connection. I like how it works because it means I can watch anything at home or on my synced mobile device on the go. Plex is free to download, as is most content within it. You don’t need to create an account or subscribe to watch its content. But you must subscribe to view the latest titles like Game of Thrones.

Netflix: The Streaming Giant

Netflix is one app that needs no introduction. It’s among the top movie streaming services worldwide. With a subscription, you can log into your account on the TV and access vast titles, including Netflix originals. The app’s algorithm is your best friend as it learns your viewing habits and suggests content that suits your tastes.

Also, you can create multiple profiles for family members on a single Netflix account, allowing up to five people to view their own personalized recommendations and watch history separately. Since Netflix stores offline content locally, you can’t continue viewing your downloads on another device. So if you’ve downloaded TV shows on your phone, they won’t appear on your Firestick even though it’s the same account.

Crunchyroll: Anime Galore

If you’re an Otaku or just getting into the anime world, Crunchyroll provides a home for the best anime movies and shows. My personal favorite, Attack on Titan, is on the app. From over 30,000 collections, including Jujutsu Kaisen and Solo Leveling, you’ll never run out of things to watch. Crunchyroll doesn’t provide a free subscription tier, so you need a paid plan to get started. However, there’s a 7-day free trial that gives you the complete experience before you decide to commit fully.

Stremio: A Modern Media Center

Stremio is similar to Kodi and supports add-ons. But it’s better than the latter. Stremio’s interface is cleaner and modern. You’ll install the add-ons from within the app instead of manually getting them from repositories. Unlike popular streaming services, the app doesn’t offer its original content or own anything on it. It’s simply a media center connecting to different streaming platforms and sources. Most of the add-ons can fetch you quality content for free.

Use the Torrentio add-ons and the Real-Debrid service for the best experience. Torrentio scrapes numerous torrent websites, while Real-Debrid is a premium link generator. With their capabilities combined, you’ll unlock a wide library of movies in high-quality resolutions from 1080p to 4K resolutions, and other content not available on official streaming platforms. With all that in mind, Stremio itself is legal, but not every online content is. Be mindful of copyright laws and terms of service surrounding them.

All streaming and no games make you dull on the Firestick. Sometimes, you...
