if you're new here on want to stay up to

to hit subscribe followed by the Bell so
when it comes to using the Amazon fire
stick fire TV or fire TV cube it can be
frustrating because the app store is
very restricted and there's a lot of
content missing in today's video I'm
going to be showing you how to install a
new app store with a few easy steps and
this has every app you could want
apps on the Play Store and also apps
that aren't even on the full Google Play
Store so the first thing you need to do
is head over to your menu at the top
scroll all the way over to the right and
we need to select settings once you're
in settings you need to scroll over to
the right again and press on where it
says my fire TV now this will say my
fire TV even if you're using a fire
stick once we've selected that we need
to scroll down and select developer
options in here we need to make sure
apps from unknown sources is turned on
it will be off by default and when we
try and turn it on it will come up with
this warning here it's perfectly safe
though so just press turn on once we've
done that we can press our home button
and return to the Amazon home screen we
then need to use the menu at the top
again scroll all the way over to the
left of the magnifying glass we're going
to need to download an app a cool
downloader is this will allow us to get
the store so if you just start typing in
downloader it should actually come up
with the autocomplete at the bottom so
you can see it's already come up for me
so you can type the whole of downloader
will simply scroll down and you can see
downloaded them once we select download
it it will come up under apps and games
and this is the one you want the orange
square with downloader and white text so
simply press on that and it will give
you the option to install it I've
already got it installed so it's just
opened up straight away
now when downloader comes up the first
thing you need to do is keep pressing
left until you get to the left hand side
menu we've then need to scroll down to
where it says settings in settings that
we just need to go over to the right in
this bottom option here enable
JavaScript press on that to give it a
tick again it comes up with a warning
but it's perfect
safes - just press yes once we've done
that we can go back to the left menu and
go up to home we then need to enter a
web address another web address we're
going to use here is WWF tutorials Cola
UK forward slash aptoide TV and of
course the link for that is down in the
description for you guys as well so I'm
just going to type that in now and there
we go the web address is now typed in
and as I said the link for that is down
in the description for you guys once
we've done that we can simply press on
go and it will open up the web page so
it says connecting it may take a little
while depending on your connection but
the reason we use downloaded here is as
you can see we get a mouse cursor on the
screen which is very useful as this can
be controlled with your fire stick or
fire TV remote
so once the page loads if you scroll
down you can see a nice big red button
here saying click here to download
aptoide TV we simply press on that and
it will ask us if we want to download
and install lip so it says connecting
here there's sometimes a bug with
downloader where it says connecting
instead of downloading so if it's taking
a while it's probably just a slow
connection but as you can see I did not
have to press anything at all it
automatically opens up the install and
it's asking me if I want to install
aptoide TV so once this comes out if you
just keep pressing down on your remote
you'll get the selection at the bottom
and we need to go over to the right and
select install once we've done that it
will begin installing aptoide TV for us
and this is normally done within about
30 seconds so I'm just gonna skip the
video to where the installation has
finished so it now says app installed
and you can simply go ahead and open it
straight from here but I'm gonna press
done and return to the home screen just
to show you guys how to access the
applications that may not be in the
first selections so if I go back to
Amazon home I'm gonna scroll down to my
apps and game so your apps and channels
if you go down a couple and in here
you'll see lots of my applications now
aptoide TV has never been opened so it's
not going to be in here we need to
scroll over to the right and select see
all
once we press this it will give us a
list of all of the applications that
we've got installed on the fire stick
and you can see I've just got the
notification at the bottom they're
saying app toy TV is now ready to launch
and it is fully installed so now this is
loaded you can see all of the
applications and it tends to put them in
the order you download them so we're
gonna go ahead and open app toy TV which
is the last one there and now I've
opened it it will probably appear closer
on my apps in games and also in the
recently opened apps so we'll let it
load you can see it gives you some
information about the new update so just
press ok on your remote and then you get
the App Store so the great thing about
aptoide TV is it's got lots of
applications you can search for anything
and it's also got the top picks so you
can see you editor choice you've got top
app slots in there for those of you that
are into streaming you've got lots of
streaming apps here so you've got things
like plex twitch stream EO and more to
choose from there but to be honest most
of the apps you want are gonna be under
top apps you can see there's lots of
applications in here that lots of people
are using there really is lots to choose
from and the best thing is if the app is
not in this screen you can of course
search for it in aptoide supports third
party stores so it will generally always
be able to find something you want so
we'll go through and we'll just install
an application so if we go into
streaming apps we'll see what we've got
here I'm just going to use this to
install Plex as I don't have Plex
installed but it's very easy to use and
works just as well as the Google Play so
now we've opened up Plex if I press
install you can see it downloads it
first and then as soon as it's
downloaded it will give us the option to
install just the same as we did with
aptoide and it will then appear in our
applications so we'll let this load
again we scroll down to the bottom press
install so it can be very frustrating it
that Amazon do give us such a restricted
App Store but using this app store
instead you've pretty much got anything
you want
now most apps work well on fire OS even
if they're not designed for it but you
do get the odd app that just really
doesn't work well without a mouse and
keyboard there is actually a mouse
toggle app you can get and you can also
get that from aptoide and that will give
you the mouse for the applications that
do require the mouse so we'll just wait
for Plex to install and then as soon as
it since
you can simply press done or go ahead
and open it straight from here but
that's pretty much it but this is in my
opinion the easiest way to fully load
your stick you can get all the
applications you want you don't need any
external hardware and it can all be done
on the fire stick remote but as always
if you've got any problems any questions
at all leave them in the comments below
and I'll get back to you as soon as I
can but thank you for watching the video
