Until I read someone mentioning them on Facebook, but the comment was removed shortly after.

What are these apps, and are they really good and usable on a Fire Stick TV Lite? Is the content they provide comparable to the top online streaming watch online (pirate) websites?

I was going to sell the fire stick and use my PC with an HDMI cable, but I may think twice now.

      Fire stick and the shield are both android devices so you can just install whatever you want

    I recently tried streamio on firestick, the app worked great in terms of ui and responsiveness but the services it connected to never worked. 5 was on it by default and each allowed me to browse movies and series but when i attempted to watch them it returned an error or buffered forever. I also tried with and without a vpn to see if that affected it. Personally the way that still works best for me is using a browser such as sideloading firefox and then visiting the websites using a vpn like you would on a laptop

    Edit: while im here, sideload the newpipe apk. Amazing frontend for youtube
