Hi Everyone, I am Nick and in this tutorial, I will walk you through the steps to install Aptoide on FireStick (a Google Play Store alternative for FireStick).
The installation steps that you will find in this guide can also be used to install the app on all other Fire TV devices, Smartphones, TiVo Stream 4K, Nvidia Shield, Android TV Boxes, Mi Boxes, and many more. I have also shared the steps to install Aptoide on Android TV Box later in this guide.
Aptoide TV is one of the most popular Google Play Store alternatives for FireStick. It allows you to download tons of applications with just a click of a button.
Amazon has its own official Amazon App Store for devices with Fire OS. However, if you want to install apps from Google Play Store or third-party apps, the Aptoide app can come in handy in installing apps that aren’t available on the official Amazon store.

There is no dearth of options in this app – Whether you want to download video players, games, chat apps, or web browsers– Aptoide has it all!
Aptoide TV works great on streaming devices such as Amazon FireStick, Android TV Box, and more.
Best of all, on Aptoide TV, you will find almost all the apps that are available on Google Play Store.
Unlike Aurora Store, Aptoide does not require Mouse Toggle. It works fine with the FireStick Remote.
