Install the "Downloader" App from Amazon Appstore

Official Amazon App

Downloader is a trusted app available directly on the official Amazon Appstore used to download and install third-party applications.

  1. From your Firestick home screen, click on Find ➔ Search.
  2. Type Downloader into the search bar.
  3. Select the official Downloader app by AFTVnews (identified by the orange background tile).

One-Time Permission

Fire OS requires permission before Downloader can install downloaded APK applications.

Developer Options Missing on Your Firestick?

On newer Fire OS updates, Amazon hides Developer Options by default. To unhide it in 10 seconds:

Go to Settings ➔ My Fire TV ➔ About, highlight your Fire TV Stick name, and click the remote Select button 7 times rapidly until it displays "No need, you are already a developer." Return back one screen and Developer Options will now be visible!
