Official Fire TV Download
This specific APK package is compiled specifically for the Fire OS operating system, featuring full remote control support.
How to Sideload OnStream
Because OnStream APK is an independent application not available in the Amazon Appstore, you will need to "sideload" it using a free tool called Downloader.
-
Get Downloader App
From your FireStick home screen, navigate to the Find icon, search for the "Downloader" app (it has an orange icon), and install it.
-
Enable Developer Options
Go to Settings (the gear icon) > My Fire TV > Developer Options. If you do not see Developer Options, click "About" and click your device name 7 times rapidly.
-
Allow Unknown Apps
Inside Developer Options, select Install Unknown Apps, find the Downloader app you just installed, and turn it ON.
-
Download & Install
Open the Downloader app. In the URL bar, type the shortcode 12345 (or onstreamza.com). Wait for the download to finish, and click Install.
Why Use OnStream on Your TV?
There are hundreds of FireStick apps out there. Here is why this one is better.
Remote Optimized
Unlike apps ported directly from mobile devices, this specific TV version is fully optimized for the FireStick remote control D-pad. No mouse toggle needed.
Absolutely Zero Ads
The biggest complaint about other FireStick apps is the intrusive pop-ups. OnStream uses a unique server infrastructure to completely block in-video advertisements.
FireStick Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to jailbreak my FireStick?
No, you do not need to root or "jailbreak" your device. You are simply sideloading an official Android application using Amazon's built-in developer settings.
Do I need a VPN?
While the app itself is highly secure, using a VPN is always recommended when streaming free content on third-party apps to protect your IP address and prevent your Internet Service Provider from throttling your speeds.
How do I update the app on my TV?
When a new version is released, you will receive an on-screen prompt the next time you open the app. Simply click "Update" and it will overwrite your existing version automatically.
