There are few greater things in home entertainment than the Amazon Firestick. With the ability to easily change any TV with a USB port into a smart TV, the firestick is one of the most popular gadgets for streaming services. However, it is not just the sleek remote or easy interface that makes firestick so enjoyable. Aside from the technology itself, it is the apps that make the firestick experience worth it.

From streaming your favorite movies and television shows to live TV and music, here are the must-have apps every firestick user needs.

Netflix

The original streaming provider, Netflix, is one of the most widely used streaming platforms throughout the world. Watch everything from groundbreaking documentaries to your favorite television shows, popular movies, and more. One of the best things about Netflix is that it is always uploading new content, whether it’s in the form of classic blockbuster films or Netflix originals.

Youtube

Another original entertainment platform, Youtube, is one of the most popular apps to download on your firestick. Watch everything you would on a laptop or smartphone but on a much bigger screen. Youtube has also entered the streaming game where you can now watch select movies and television shows for a small fee.

Twitch

Twitch is one of the unique apps to download onto your firestick. Watch everything from live music to podcasts, video games, and more. If you want, you can even stream your own content and make money by signing up for the affiliate program.

Kodi

Kodi is an open-source software application that allows you to stream movies, live TV sports, and more for free using Kodi addons. However, you will need to jailbreak your firestick to enjoy all the benefits Kodi offers, but the process will be worth it.

Vudu

Vudu is a streaming service that allows you to watch your favorite movies for free. Enjoy everything from horror films to comedy flicks, family movies, and more. In addition, Vudu supports renting and buying select movies and television shows for a small fee.

Amazon Prime Video

With one of the largest streaming libraries in existence, Amazon Prime Video is a must-have. As long as you pay for an amazon prime subscription, you will have access to thousands of titles in everything from tv shows, movies, documentaries, and more. Like Vudu, you also have the ability to rent or buy specific movies and theatrical releases.

Shudder TV

If you love horror movies and bone-chilling TV shows, look no further than the Shudder TV app. Designed explicitly for horror fans, Shudder TV streams thrillers, horror films, suspense, and supernatural films. Although it is a paid subscription service, you’ll find hundreds of exclusive horror films and television shows to choose from.

ESPN For Fire TV

ESPN is not just a cable network. Thanks to ESPN for fire TV, you can stream hundreds of sporting events right from your firestick. Enjoy live sports, classic documentaries, and talk shows. Although it is a paid service, ESPN offers a seven-day free trial, so you can see if it is right for you.

Hulu

Like Netflix, Hulu is one of America’s most popular streaming services that offers a giant library full of television shows, movies, and original content. However, the best thing about Hulu is that it offers multiple subscriptions tiers. If you don’t want to pay the full price, you can opt for a cheaper subscription with advertisements in between shows.

Spotify

The Firestick is not just for streaming movies and video content. Enjoy all of your favorite songs from your favorite artists streamed right from your television. If you already have a Spotify account, you can sync your smartphone to your firestick to easily select music from your personal playlists.

So Much To Explore

With your jailbroken Amazon Firestick, streaming has never been easier. No matter what you are looking for, the Amazon Firestick has an app for you.
