In this guide, I will be teaching you how to APKTime on firestick. So, if you are also a firestick user and want to know the working way to install and use APKTime then keep reading this article till the end.

I still remember that time when I was very new to firestick and I didn’t know how to use it and how to download third-party apps on firestick but after taking the help of Google and some tutorials I learned a lot of things related to firestick and now I am using firestick for more than a 1.5 years and I know so many hidden features about firestick.

But the very important thing that you guys always ask me is how to easily download third-party apps on firestick, well, there is an application known as APKTime that can help us to download all those apps that are not available on the Amazon app store. Today I’ll tell you how to install APKTime on firestick and how to use APKTime to download and install apps on firestick.

APKTime is a very good application for those who always want to experience different apps on their firestick, we all know there are so many applications that are not officially available for Amazon fire tv but if we use APKTime on firestick then we can easily install all those apps.

If you use APKTime then you don’t have to sideload apps on firestick anymore because APKTime already has a huge library of different apps, all you have to do is just simply open the APKTime app and search for the app that you want to download on your firestick, most of the time you will get your searched application but in case application that you are searching for is not available then you have no option other than sideloading that app on firestick.

Now let’s know about APKTime in detail so that if anyone who is not familiar with this app can know a little about it.

What is APKTime?

APKTime is nothing but a store of Android applications, it has all those apps that are available and not available on the Google App store. People mostly use APKTime when they want to download the APK of any particular app or when they want to download and install the app that is not available on the Google Play store. Apps like Cinema HD, TeaTV, Redbox, Ola TV, etc are not usually available on the Google/Amazon play store but users can download the APK of these apps anytime via the APKTime.

APKTime has all the latest and apps available in their catalog and all of the apps are available free to download.

Now I think I have made your doubts clear about APKTime and now let’s see how we can install Apktime on firestick but before that, we have to make some changes in the settings of firestick, so first let’s do that.

Setting Up firestick to Install APKTime

Now before I show you how to install APKTime, I want you to enable one important setting on your firestick and that is “Install Unknown Apps” if you haven’t already enabled it then follow the below steps to do that first because if you keep it disabled then you won’t be able to install the APKTime APK on firestick.

• First of all, you need to open your FireStick device.
  
• Now go to settings of your firestick and click on the My Fire TV option.
  
• Now you need to click on Developer options.
  
• Now you need to click on Apps from Unknown sources to enable it. After that it will show you some warning kind of message, simply ignore it and click Ok.
  

Now you are set, let’s see what are the available ways to install APKtime on our fire tv.

Different ways to Install APKTime on firestick

Now for downloading the APKTime, we have two apps available, one is Downloader and another one is ES File Explorer. You can use either of the apps to download and install the APKTime apk on firestick, both apps are quite popular and is available for a very long time and used by millions of users.

Now it is up to you what method you want to go with, if you ask about my preference then I like to use the Downloader app over ES File explorer but that doesn’t mean ES File Explorer is any bad, it is equally good and is multipurpose app. You can use ES File as your firestick file manager as well.

Below I have shared both methods, you can choose any one of your favorite.

Method 1) How to Install APKTime on firestick via the Downloader

This is my favorite method to install 3rd party apps on firestick and if you also want to follow this method then firstly you need to download and install the downloader application on firestick, below are the steps to do that.

• Open your firestick home screen and search for ‘downloader’.
  
• Click on the install button to start the downloading and installing process.
  
• Once the app is installed you can click on the open button to open it.
  

Now you are eligible to download Instagram APK on firestick.

Step 2) Click on ‘Allow’ whenever it asks to grant all the required permissions. You can also change the permission afterward by going to Settings >> Applications >> Manage Installed Applications >> Downloader > Permissions.

Step 4) All you have to do is now enter this bit.ly/3tmj3ba URL inside the following box and the URL is case sensitive so make sure that you are typing it correctly.

Step 5) After entering the URL correctly, all you have to do is click on the Go button that is right below the box.

Step 6) Now the Downloader app will start downloading the APK of APKTime, just wait for few seconds.

Step 7) After the APK is downloaded click on the Install button.
