20 Best Apps for Jailbroken Firestick in September 2024

Tired of expensive subscriptions and being limited to just a few titles? This guide shows you how to break free with the best apps for jailbroken Firestick.

Firestick is a device that has gained immense popularity over the years as it offers diverse streaming content through apps in its in-built app store. However, compared to third-party app stores, that content is quite limited. A jailbroken Firestick gives you access to unlimited content in addition to what the app store has to offer.

While most of us may be familiar with the term “Jailbroken Firestick,” others may not be. Before we dive into the best apps for jailbroken Firestick, let’s familiarize ourselves with what it all entails.

Jailbreaking

The term ‘jailbreaking’ basically means getting superuser access to a device. This will give you unrestricted rights and privileges to manage and use the device in a way that is not accessible to regular users. The term has been used to refer to iOS being modded to circumvent iTunes Digital Rights Management on music, TV, and Movies. On an Android device, the term ‘rooting’ is used, but they basically mean the same.

Jailbreaking Firestick

While jailbreaking a smartphone or regular Android boxes means changing the operating system, it doesn’t extend to that when it comes to Firestick. Actually, you can’t really ‘jailbreak’ a Firestick device.

When people talk about a jailbroken Firestick, it usually means installing third-party apps that let you enjoy unlimited content without having to pay. And for most users, it simply means installing Kodi on your Firestick.

What is a Jailbroken Firestick?

You may have come across some vendors selling jailbroken Firesticks. What this means is not that they have really rooted the devices, but rather just installed Kodi and other third-party applications.

Remember that Firestick is based on Android, the most popular operating system with literary millions of apps. Installing third-party apps on Firestick is not hard, and you will need to know how to do it yourself if at all you are going to avoid paying the heavy subscription packages for streaming content.

You, therefore, need to steer away from ‘Jailbroken Firestick’ vendors since you’ll just pay extra for something you can do in a few minutes – we’ll show you how.

Why do you need Jailbroken Firestick apps?

Most of the best streaming apps have a subscription fee, which can be costly. Sideloading third-party applications comes as a “wallet saver” in terms of entertainment.

With these apps, you can stream Live TV, Movies, TV shows, Sports, Documentaries, Kids’ shows, and much more at zero cost and with high-quality links. You name it, and you will find it.

Caution: Stream Safely!

All the apps you will find in this list are not available on the official Firestick store. This is because most of them facilitate copyright infringement by providing links to content that may be pirated. The apps do not host the files, so you are responsible for the streams you access.

Further, some apps you will find, e.g., Stremio, use BitTorrent technology to provide streams, meaning that your ISP can easily block your streams and throttle your connection.

👉 To avoid legal liabilities or content blocking, you must stream anonymously through a VPN. The VPN will encrypt your activities to hide them from your ISP and change your IP address to give you online anonymity.
✋That said, you will also need to select your VPN carefully.

Best Apps for Firestick

Below is a detailed list of the best apps for jailbroken Firestick.

1. A VPN (Privacy & Geo-Restrictions

A VPN app is the first app you should install. It is a multi-purpose privacy and security tool that provides user security and helps circumvent internet restrictions. Once you are connected to a VPN server, the VPN encrypts your traffic and makes it impossible for third-parties such as the ISP and government to know what you are doing online.

Besides that, VPNs help avoid bandwidth restrictions imposed by ISPs.

There are many VPN services out there, but most of the VPNs fail in at least one of the  following requirements:

• Geographic diversity – Many streams are available only in a certain country or region, so it’s important to use a VPN with servers worldwide.
• Internet speed – The encryption used by VPNs naturally reduces internet speed, but this varies from one VPN to another. The chosen VPN must guarantee good internet speeds.
• Privacy and Safety – Usually, accessing any server (even VPN servers) causes your IP to be registered on its log file. A good VPN follows a restricted “zero-log” policy to prevent user identification.

2. Aptoide TV (App Store)

Amazon Firestick may have the Amazon Store, but that won’t serve you for many of the apps in this list. This means that you will have to rely on sideloading apps or Firestick or get an alternative apps store. We always provide guides for sideloading apps on Firestick, but for the latter, the go-to app is Aptoide TV.

Aptoide TV is an independent app store that features 2,500+ apps. These apps are optimized for Firestick and Android TV, which means most of them to work seamlessly. Most of the apps we have listed here are available on Aptoide, making it one of the best apps for FireStick.

As it’s the most popular option for jailbreaking Firestick, Kodi tops our list of the best apps for jailbroken Firestick. It is actually more than a regular app as it offers lots of functionalities. You can use it to organize local content, but you can also stream any kind of content with it. However, this is not possible in the original form of the app, something that makes it different from most of the apps in this list.

What makes it possible to stream through Kodi is its third-party addons that allow you to watch TV shows, Movies, Kids’ shows, Live TV, etc. These addons are from different developers and differ in quality, but you can check out our Kodi guides to install them.

Most of the apps mentioned here are not available on the Amazon App Store. This means that if you have Firestick, you will always need an app to help you download APKs. Downloader is the best app for this, and so it deserves to be mentioned among the best apps for Amazon Firestick or Fire TV.

The Downloader app lets you add download links on the app, and it then starts downloading immediately or takes you to the download page. If you don’t have the link, there’s a browser functionality (which requires a browser addon) that lets you search an app on Google.

Most of the apps listed above were created for Android smartphones but have later been adapted for the TV version. This means that you will still encounter some remote issues when using the apps, as some of the buttons are meant for touch screens.

Mouse Toggle is a lifesaver in that it turns your Firestick remote into a mouse. This means that you can use it to scroll to any part of the screen and select an option that otherwise wouldn’t be selectable. You can check out our tutorial on setting up and using Mouse Toggle on Firestick.

How do I Install these Apps on Amazon Firestick?

Early mentioned on this list of the best Amazon Apps for Firestick, with Aptoide, you will find almost any app listed in this list, and so you will only need to search and install. If not, you just need to paste the link of the APK you are interested in on the Downloader app.

Remember that before you can install any third-party app on Firestick, you will need to turn on “unknown sources” on your Firestick if you haven’t done so already. On your Fire TV or Stick, go to Settings > Device > Developer options. Enable “ADB Debugging” and turn on “Allow apps from Unknown Sources.”

Is it Legal and Safe to Jailbreak Firestick?

Jailbreaking Firestick is completely legal. The process does not involve editing code on the device’s operating system, so you don’t even need to worry about your warranty.

However, the safety of doing so is a grey area. Kodi was initially supported in the Amazon App Store, but that changed several years ago. According to an Amazon Spokesman, “Amazon supports and helps fund industry efforts globally to reduce online piracy and protects customers through policies that promote legal access to creative content.”

“Devices that violate our policy against promoting, suggesting the facilitation of, or actively enabling infringement or unauthorized access to digital media or other protected content are prohibited from sale on Amazon, and apps that infringe third party intellectual property rights are not permitted in the Amazon App store.” In 2017, Amazon also banned fully loaded Kodi boxes from being sold on their e-commerce platform.

While Kodi itself is legal, it supports the installation of third-party Kodi addons that facilitate the access of illegal content. Consumption of such content is illegal, and it should be completely avoided unless you follow the right privacy and security policies.

How to Jailbreak Firestick with Kodi

If you simply want to install Kodi as the simplest way of jailbreaking Firestick, below is the procedure.

Get Downloader

The first thing you need to do is install an app known as Downloader. The app facilitates the installation of third-party apps such as Kodi, and it’s available on the Amazon store.

• Go to Firestick’s main page. Select Find, then click Search.
• On the search field, type “Downloader.”
• It should be displayed as the first option. It has an orange icon. Click on it.
• Click “Download” to install Downloader on your Firestick or Fire TV.

Allowing the installation of third-party apps

To use Downloader, you first need to allow it to install third-party apps.

• While at the Firestick home screen, open Settings and select My Fire TV.
• Now go to “Developer options.”
• Select Downloader and click on it to turn the permission from “Off” to “On.” For Firestick 4K and older versions of Firestick, you only need to enable “Allow apps from Unknown sources.”

Download Kodi APK

• In the URL field of downloader, enter the URL “http://kodi.tv/download” and click ‘Go’.
• It will open a webpage with the various Kodi applications. Since Firestick and Fire TV are based on a fork of Android, we shall download the Android apk. Select it.
• Now, choose the 32-bit option, as it is the recommended version for Firestick. Your download should now begin.
• When the download is complete, click “Install.”
• After the installation, click “Done.”
• Don’t go back to the Home screen yet. You will be given an option to delete the Kodi installation file, as it will help free up some space on your device. Click Delete and repeat to confirm.

After that, you can go back to the Firestick main page and select the Apps Gallery icon. You’ll find Kodi at the bottom.

Customizing Kodi on Firestick

Kodi on its own is not very useful unless you just want to organise your home media content. To be able to watch Movies, TV Shows, Live TV, Live Sports, etc., for free and in HD, you need to install third-party Kodi addons.

These addons are contained inside various repositories, but they are not hard to install. At BestDroidPlayer, we have a lot of Kodi addon installation guides and tutorials. To get you started, we created a detailed list of the best working Kodi addons, together with tutorials on how to install them.

However, before you can start installing third-party Kodi repositories and addons, you need to make sure that you have a reliable VPN like Surfshark and that it’s connected to a server.
