Apps That Will Change The Way You Use Your Amazon Fire TV
By JACK GOODWILLIE
Amazon Silk
Amazon Silk is the web browser developed by the company explicitly for its devices, bringing internet access to a Fire TV with one simple click.
While the app offers all the standard browser features, it’s not as advanced as browsers optimized for Windows and Mac devices. However, it is compatible with voice control.
WeatherNation
For those who prefer a more traditional means of checking the weather, the WeatherNation app provides on-demand viewing and live forecasts.
WeatherNation offers users comprehensive coverage for locations across the United States and around the world to provide information on current weather conditions.
Haystack News
Also known as Haystack TV, Haystack News is a news aggregation and streaming platform that provides personalized news content to its users.
In addition to on-demand news content, Haystack News offers users live streams from various sources, such as ABC News, CBS, Euronews, and Newsmax.
Downloader
Downloader allows users to easily install third-party apps that may not be available on the Amazon Appstore, opening up new possibilities for their Fire TV.
The app also allows you to download new applications directly to your TV and comes with several other features, such as a built-in web browser and media player.
Easy Fire Tools
Another way to sideload apps onto your Fire TV device is Easy Fire Tools, a smartphone app that provides users with many similar features to Downloader.
When synced with a Fire TV or Fire OS device, the app can overwrite, delete, and uninstall data, in addition to downloading new applications straight to the TV.
