收看电视节目(Television),我们要么使用有线电视运营商的服务,要么安装一个碟子,直接用碟子(Dish)看电视。无论哪种情况,我们都必须通过机顶盒或插件盒将输入信号与电视集成。随着技术的进步,插件盒被一种名为Firestick(Firestick)的插件棒所取代。
firestick 的功能类似于Plug-in box。只需将其插入电视 HDMI(TVs HDMI)端口,即可在电视上播放节目、照片、游戏、音乐、频道和应用程序(Apps)。Firestick最显着的优势是即使在移动时您也可以观看自己喜欢的节目。有很多功能,例如对Android应用程序的内置支持、4K 流媒体和Alexa支持,可以打包到Firestick中。
然而, Firestick(Firestick)上的Appstore不太有利于添加新的应用程序,但这绝不会妨碍我们自己获得漂亮和令人惊叹的应用程序。一些应用程序可在Amazon Appstore上获得,还有更多;我们将不得不从任何其他第三方Appstore侧载应用程序。
要在 firestick 上侧载第三方应用程序,我们必须更改以下设置,如下所示:
a)启用 ADB 调试(Enable ADB Debugging):首字母缩写词ADB代表Android Debug Bridge,它是一个命令行工具,可帮助与Firestick进行通信。要启用ADB 调试(ADB Debugging),我们必须打开设置并选择 My Firestick ''。选择“我的Firestick ”后返回并选择“开发人员选项”并检查“调试”下的“Android 调试”或“ USB(Debugging)调试(USB)”,然后选择“打开”。
b)未知来源:(Unknown Source:)要在firestick上安装来自未知来源的应用程序,我们必须转到设置选项并选择右上角的“菜单”,然后选择“特殊访问”。完成此操作后,选择“安装未知应用程序”并选择要从中安装APK文件的应用程序,最后将“允许来自此来源”选项切换为“开启”。
2020 年 Firestick 的 19 款最佳应用(19 Best Apps for Firestick in 2020)

b) 用于电影和电视节目的 Firestick 应用程序:(b) Firestick apps for Movies and TV Shows:)
电影和电视节目被数百万人观看,并构成了很大一部分互联网用户。Firestick可以为此目的提供最好的应用程序,如下所示:

5. Cyberflix 电视(5. Cyberflix TV)

使用网络抓取工具(web scraping tools),它为您选择的视频提供链接。从提供的链接列表中,您可以查看要观看的视频。在Cyberflix 上(Cyberflix),您还可以从 Real Debrid或Trakt TV帐户快速流式传输,从而增强其娱乐指数。
6.猫鼠APK(6. CatMouse APK)
这是另一个被认为是克隆的应用程序,但它是Terrarium应用程序的临时克隆,在其列表中包含您想观看的大量电影和电视节目。最好的部分是这个应用程序没有广告,这是一个非常好的功能,因为电影或电视节目之间的广告非常烦人,充当干扰并扼杀兴趣使其变得无聊。
此应用程序的一个有趣功能是,如果您想观看任何节目或电影,它会询问是否播放或下载字幕或复制流链接。
另一个值得夸耀的功能是您可以将CatMouse主页设置为打开您选择的任何页面。您可以单击以选择您的收藏夹,并可以自动打开您最喜欢的类别。您也可以在CatMouse APK(CatMouse APK)应用程序上快速流式传输帐户。
7.解锁MyTV(7. UnlockMyTV)

10. 茶电视(10. Tea TV)
随着Terrarium应用程序的大量停产,出现了许多不错的应用程序,Tea TV 也是其中之一。它在 terrarium 应用程序存在期间就开始显示其存在,但在关闭后,它作为一个优秀的应用程序浮出水面。
它被评为最佳火棒应用程序之一,具有良好的用户界面,可以快速从电影切换到电视节目,反之亦然。此外,由于与应用程序的高度兼容性,firestick遥控器操作高效、流畅且没有任何麻烦。

与轻量级相比,它没有太重的软件,它具有很多功能并且可以在Firestick或任何其他设备上正常工作。
c) 用于直播电视节目的 Firestick 应用(c) Firestick apps for Live TV programs)
12. 网络电视直播(12. Live NetTV)
顾名思义,这个应用程序可以帮助通过互联网使用卫星电视流式传输直播电视节目。它摆脱了任何电线或电缆连接。您可以直接从网络流式传输。如果您在Firestick上观看直播电视,没有比这更适合您的应用程序了。这个应用程序为您提供全球数百个频道的灵活性,无论是在美国(USA)、加拿大(Canada)、英国、欧洲(Europe)、亚洲(Asia)还是世界任何地方,您都可以说出它的名字。
您还可以收看世界各地的许多高清频道。观察到的唯一问题是任何发射站的服务器出现问题。在这种情况下,在服务器问题未解决之前,任何应用都无法流式传输该频道。
通过多个选项卡和用户友好的界面,您可以查看您选择的任何频道,如体育、电视节目、电影、新闻、娱乐频道以及您可能想到的任何频道。它是一个单击应用程序,您只需单击它即可立即查看您选择的任何频道。
13. Mobdro 应用程序(13. Mobdro App)
(Mobdro)如果您想使用火棒直播电视节目,Mobdro是另一个值得考虑的应用程序。想通过互联网观看像 Hallmark 这样的有线电视频道(watch cable TV channels like Hallmark),这个应用程序是正确的选择。它可以在最短的时间内安装好您的存储空间。

它提供了许多流行的频道,而牺牲了一些优质频道。俗话说,“蛋糕不能留着吃”,所以不得不牺牲一些优质频道,换取更受欢迎的频道。毫无疑问,这个应用程序值得一试。
15. Sling TV 应用程序(15. Sling TV app)
美国(USA)著名的付费服务直播(Live)电视应用程序。您可以直接从Amazon Play 商店安装此应用程序,无需旁载。它使用提供多达 50 个频道的主要服务计划提供各种频道,每月订阅费用为 25 美元。(Channels)

尽管此应用程序仅限于美国(USA)使用,但可以使用VPN应用程序从世界任何地方访问它。
d) 其他应用程序(d) Miscellaneous Apps)
除了上述应用程序外,firestick 还支持某些实用程序应用程序,如下所述:
16. YouTube 应用(16. YouTube app)
由于亚马逊(Amazon)和谷歌(Google)之间存在某些分歧,YouTube在亚马逊(Amazon)商店有一段时间不可用,但截至目前,它也可以在那里使用。可以使用 firestick 上的下载器应用程序将其侧载。
YouTube应用程序也可以使用浏览器在firestick 上观看。您可以通过您的Google ID(Google ID)登录YouTube应用。请注意,此应用程序不访问YouTube提供的直播电视服务。
17. 鼠标切换应用(17. Mouse Toggle app)
这个应用程序在火棒上很重要。我们已经看到任何可以在 Firestick 上侧载的应用程序,(Firestick)但并非其中许多功能的所有功能都与电视屏幕兼容并且不能很好地工作。有些需要鼠标,它不是火棒遥控器的一部分。这些功能需要手指点击和其他操作。这是鼠标切换的帮助所在,并允许用户使用遥控器使用鼠标功能。
18. 下载器应用(18. Downloader App)
这个应用程序允许您轻松地将第三方应用程序加载到 firestick 上。尽管亚马逊商店(Amazon Store)仍然提供大量参考列表,但外部需要一些优秀的第三方应用程序。此过程称为侧载。问题是Firestick不允许第三方应用程序通过网络浏览器,例如Firestick不允许下载第三方Kodi应用程序。
在这种情况下,下载器会使用其轻型软件。该软件允许将APK软件文件从网络下载并安装到 firestick 上,以满足某些功能需求。
19. Aptoide 应用程序(19. Aptoide app)
Amazon Appstore有大量可用于Firestick的应用程序列表,但可能不是应用程序的全面要求。除了那些可能需要一些第三方优秀应用程序的应用程序之外,例如Kodi等。但是,下载器应用程序可以这样做,但它需要一个用于下载APK文件的源URL 。
然后Aptoide(Aptoide)来帮忙。它还拥有大量 firestick 和Android应用程序,并成为Amazon Appstore的替代品。它有任何应用程序,无论是流媒体应用程序还是实用工具,无论您正在寻找什么。经过(Being)专业设计,它使搜索任何应用程序变得非常容易。
总结一下这个话题,说上面是Firestick应用程序的全部列表是不合适的。Twitch、Spotify和TuneIn是一些音乐、广播和音频流应用程序,而Happy Chick和RetroArch是游戏应用程序的示例。
受到推崇的:(Recommended:)
应用程序(Apps)列表并不详尽,但我们的讨论主要限于安全、电影(Movie)和电视节目,即娱乐应用程序,最后是一些实用程序应用程序。许多新应用程序的测试(Testing)是一个持续的过程,如果他们很好地使用Firestick可能会在下一个列表中,他们也可以为自己找到一席之地。
19 Best Firestick Apps for Movies, TV Shows, & Live TV

With technologіcal advancеment, the plug-inbox was replaced by a plug-in stіck сalled Firestick.
The firestick had functions similar to the Plug-in box. It merely had to be plugged into the TVs HDMI port for streaming shows, photos, games, music, channels, and Apps on TV.

The Appstore on Firestick is, however not very conducive to the addition of new apps, but that does not in any way hinder us from getting nice and astonishing apps on our own.

b) Unknown Source: To install apps from unknown sources on the firestick we have to go to the setting option and select ‘Menu’ at the upper-right corner & then choose ‘Special access’. After having done this, pick ‘Install unknown apps’ and choose the application you are installing the APK file from, and finally toggle the ‘Allow from this source’ option to ‘On’.

If you watch live TV on Firestick, there is no better app than this for you. This app gives you the flexibility of hundreds of channels across the globe whether, in the USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Asia, or any part of the world, you name it.

d) Miscellaneous Apps
Besides the above apps, firestick also supports certain utility apps as discussed below:
16. YouTube app
Due to certain disagreement between Amazon and Google, YouTube was not available on the Amazon store for some time, but as of now, it is available there too. It can be sideloaded using the downloader app on the firestick.
The YouTube app can also be watched on the firestick using a browser. You can sign in to the YouTube app through your Google ID. This app, it may be noted, does not access live TV service provided by YouTube.
17. Mouse Toggle app
This app is important to have on the firestick. We have seen any app that can be sideloaded on the Firestick, but not all features of many of them are compatible with the TV screen and do not work perfectly well. Some require a mouse, which is not a part of the firestick remote. These features require finger taps and other actions. This is where mouse toggle comes of help and allows the users a mouse function with the remote.
18. Downloader App
This app allows you to sideload third-party applications onto the firestick easily. In spite of a huge reference list available with Amazon Store still, some good third-party apps are required from outside. This process is known as sideloading. The problem is Firestick does not allow third-party apps through the web browser e.g. the third-party Kodi app is not allowed to be downloaded by Firestick.
In such a case downloader, with its light-duty software is used. This software allows downloading and installing the APK software files from the web on to the firestick for certain functional needs.
19. Aptoide app
Amazon Appstore has a huge list of apps available for Firestick but may not a comprehensive requirement of apps. In addition to those apps when some third party good apps may be required like Kodi, etc. However, the downloader app can do so, but it requires a URL of the source for downloading the APK file.
Aptoide then comes of help. It also has a huge list of firestick and Android apps and becomes an alternative to the Amazon Appstore. It has any app whether a streaming app or a utility tool whatever you are looking for. Being professionally designed it makes searching for any app very easy.
To conclude the topic, it would not be proper to say that the above is the all-in-all list of apps for Firestick. Twitch, Spotify, and TuneIn are some of the music, radio, and audio streaming apps, whereas Happy Chick and RetroArch are examples of gaming apps.
Recommended:
The list of Apps is inexhaustive, but we have limited our discussion to mainly security, Movie and TV show, i.e. entertainment apps, and lastly some utility apps. Testing of many new apps is an ongoing process, and if they usher well for the use of Firestick may be in the next list, they could also find a place for themselves.
