Best FireStick App for Secure Streaming

1. IPVanish

IPVanish, a VPN service, is our first recommendation because it gives you access to the online-pandora box. Be it any streaming service — certain geo-restrictions prevent the service from showcasing all the media available on the website.

Enter IPVanish.

Removing all the restrictions can give you access to any geo-restricted content. Yes, with over 40,000+ servers across 75 countries — it is the ultimate tool to watch foreign TV shows, movies, and additional content — locked otherwise.

The reason to recommend IPVanish (and not any other VPN) is it delivers unlimited bandwidth, allowing you to stream uninterruptedly.

Furthermore, IPVanish can also help you in several other cases. For instance, prevent any man-in-the-middle attacks by creating a safe tunnel to reroute the data transfers to its services. Meaning, be it the government authorities, hackers, or your own ISP — will not be your exact location.

Best FireStick Apps for Movies and TV Shows

1. Kodi (Free)

A free and open-source media player, Kodi allows you to stream TV shows, music, sports, play games, and more for free. Well, it has official, as well as unofficial, addons that include tons of content. Most of these addons contain content premium and come with monthly subscriptions. Still, we recommend you stick to free content until you have a VPN service.

2. Cinema HD APK (Free)

Packed with Hollywood movies of different genres, Cinema HD Apk is the ultimate application to satiate any cinema-lover needs. Be it the classics, new releases, rom-com, critically-acclaimed movies — Cinema HD apk has something for everyone’s needs. All you have to do is download the application and access the content for free.

3. Netflix (Paid)

Do I say more? Netflix is the most popular streaming service globally. TV shows, movies, documentaries, originals — you name it — Netflix has all of them in abundance.  Yes, you will have to pay, but that will bring on a huge library of content from across the world. Moreover, you can use the IPVanish and bypass geo-restrictions to access the content from other regions.

Best Fire Stick Apps for Live TV and Sports

1. Watch ESPN (Paid)

The top broadcaster when it comes to sports and games from across the world, Watch ESPN is the ultimate package for any sport-streaming enthusiast. Unlike the TV variant, Watch ESPN Online lets you watch the matches you missed and be updated on all the news about sports and games. Additionally, if you are not ready to pay for the Watch ESPN paid services, opt for Kodi addons that stream similar content for free.

2.  NBC Sports (Paid)

Do you live and die for NFL, Soccer, NHL, NBA, MMA, Tennis, Rugby, Boxing? Well, NBC Sports is the online service for you. Giving you access to real-time matches, NBC Sports is one of the most popular online sports streaming services in the States. Be that as it may, it does not mean it is not good for people from other countries. Do not forget that NBC Sports also hosts English Premier League and other events — enough to keep you hooked to your screens. 

3. Sling TV (Paid)

The first online Live TV streaming service, Sling TV, is the top choice of users from across the globe. Giving you access to the best content from ESPN, CNN, FOX, NBC Sports, Bravo, National Geographic, and more — it is also one of the cheapest online Live TV Streaming services accessible to users. Although it is limited to US citizens, users opt for Kodi to stream Sling TV in unsupported regions.

Best FireStick Apps for Music

1. YouTube (Free)

The default app on any Android and iOS device, YouTube is one app you need to access any music from across the globe. Yet, it comes with ads, but a premium could disable all the ads and give you access to some YouTube originals in case you want to refresh your mind with some new content.

2. Spotify (Free)

Podcasts, music, and originals — Spotify doesn’t disappoint any music enthusiasts. It gives you the ability to create your own playlists and share it with the world, and not just limited to streaming songs like most music streaming services online.

Best Utility Apps for FireStick

1.  Downloader App (Free)

Available on the Amazon App Store, Downloader App allows you to download apk apps not available in the App store. For instance, Kodi is not available on Amazon’s App Store. Nevertheless, you can download it by jailbreaking the Fire TV Stick and get it via the Downloader app.

Conclusion

Of course, there are tons of other apps. But these are the crema de la crema. Meaning, regardless of what you are into — these applications are enough to satiate all your needs no matter what.

Download any or all of these depending on your needs to get the most of the Fire TV Stick. And do not miss the opportunity to grab the IPVanish VPN to access the geo-restricted content and get more than what you paid for.
