This guide illustrates how to install Popcorn Time streaming app on Firestick and Fire TV.  The app can also be installed on Android TV, Android TV Box, Android Smartphones, and Nvidia Shield. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popcorn Time is one of the most popular streaming applications today, and it is featured in our list of the best streaming apps of 2022<\/a>. The app is however different from most apps we review like Cinema HD<\/a> and Kodi<\/a>. This is because instead of crawling the web for streaming links, Popcorn Time\u00a0uses an in-built BitTorrent client to stream torrent files<\/strong> from multiple sources using an inbuilt player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing is about the app is that it downloads a portion of the file you\u2019d like to stream before it starts streaming.<\/strong> This makes it possible to stream content smoothly<\/strong> even with a slow connection. However, it also means that you need sufficient space since the downloaded bits are stored in your device. They are then erased after you stop watching the video. You can also choose to download a video and then watch it offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Popcorn<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Popcorn Time has a huge database that includes even the most recent movies and episodes<\/strong>. Available content can be streamed with up to 1080p.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important: Stay Private & Secure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since Popcorn Time uses torrent technology, you need to be careful while streaming on the app<\/strong>. This is because the governments and ISPs all over the world are running a crackdown to combat copyright infringement done through torrenting.<\/strong> This has led to the blocking of torrent sites in various countries such as the UK, as well as legal charges on people who share copyrighted content. Further, torrenting exposes a user\u2019s IP address<\/strong> to other users which puts them at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this and other reasons, we strongly recommend that you get yourself a good VPN for Firestick<\/a><\/strong>. This VPN will help by encrypting your traffic<\/strong> to make it senseless to your ISP, and it will also change your IP address to make you anonymous.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

The VPN I recommend<\/h3>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Surfshark<\/a> offers solid privacy and security,<\/strong> and it features some of the best speeds in the market<\/strong>.

How to Install Popcorn Time on Firestick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After getting yourself a VPN, we can go ahead and install Popcorn Time on Firestick. But since it\u2019s not available on the Amazon store, we\u2019ll need to do this through sideloading.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, ensure that the \u201capps from unknown sources<\/strong>\u201d option is enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to enable it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enabling unknown sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. While at the device Home screen, go to \u201cSettings<\/strong>\u201d then select \u201cMy Fire TV\/ Device<\/strong>.\u201d\"\"<\/li>
  2. Select \u201cDeveloper options<\/strong>.\u201d\"\"<\/li>
  3. Turn on \u201cApps from Unknown Sources<\/strong>\u201d as well as \u201cADB debugging.\u201d\"Enable<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    After that, we can go ahead and download the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Firestick does not allow you to download files using a browser, <\/strong>so we’ll need an app for that purpose. The best app for downloading the apk file is a downloader<\/strong>, an app that is readily available in the store. If you already have it, you can skip to the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you haven\u2019t installed it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Installing the Downloader APP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    1. On the main menu, go to the search <\/strong>option and type \u201cDownloader\u201d\"Download<\/strong><\/li>
    2. Downloader should be the first suggestion. Select it.\"\"<\/li>
    3. Now click Get <\/strong>to install the app on your Firestick.\"\"<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      After the installation is complete, open the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Install Popcorn Time on Firestick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Now, we need to download the apk file to install Popcorn Time. There’s a TV version that has a customized interface, but we prefer the Android version. This version is also compatible with Firestick and Android TV, and it’s the one we recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1.  <\/i> Firstly turn a Good VPN like Surfshark On<\/a>, or the following steps may fail<\/strong><\/li>
      2. In the URL field of the downloader, enter the URL: https:\/\/popcorntime.app\/<\/strong>
        \"On<\/li>
      3. Find the APK for Android<\/strong> or Android TV<\/strong> and click on it to download<\/li>
      4. Popcorn Time apk will start downloading.\"\"<\/li>
      5. After the download is complete, click \u201cInstall\u201d\"When<\/strong><\/li>
      6. When the installation completes, click \u201cDone.<\/strong>\u201d\"Hit<\/li>
      7. Downloader will ask if you want to delete the apk. Select \u201cDelete<\/strong>\u201d to save some space.\"\"<\/li>
      8. When asked to confirm, select \u201cDelete<\/strong>\u201d once more.\"After<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"After<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Popcorn Time should have been added to your app list. It can now be found under \u201cSee All\u201d <\/strong>in Apps & Channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Remember that Popcorn Time is a third-party app that uses torrents to facilitate streams<\/strong>. Before you stream anything, make sure that you connect to an Surfshark server first.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
