How to Install Aptoide Tv on Android Box

aptoide tv

This tutorial will show you how to install Aptoide TV APK on the Firestick, Fire TV, Fire TV Cube, and Android TV Boxes.

This alternative app store will work just as well as Google Play or Aurora Store.

Aptoide TV works similar to Google Play and best of all, this version is optimized for streaming devices that run Android OS such as the Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, and Android TV Boxes.


Legal Notice: TROYPOINT will not be held liable for data breaches, infected/hacked devices, or ISP logging caused by using unverified 3rd party applications, IPTV Services, addons, or streaming websites.

Note: Aptoide TV has recently been updated, which includes the following changes & improvements:

  • Quicker navigation with new menu
  • New card design
  • Easy access to available updates and installed apps
  • Minor bug fixes

One of the problems with installing android applications onto the Fire TV or Firestick is that they don't work very well with the remote.

That isn't the case with this optimized version of Aptoide TV since it has been specifically created for our streaming devices such as the Amazon Fire TV or FireStick.

If you choose to install Google Play on Firestick, then you will be required to root your device and go through a ton of steps to complete the process.

This is an easier method and best of all, most of the apps that are available in Google Play are also available on Aptoide TV.
