If you’re interested in using your Fire stick primarily for watching TV shows and movies, then make sure to check out our YouTube video also:

Spotify
Your Fire TV isn’t just meant to watch videos. You can use it to listen to your favorite music tracks as well, and Spotify lets you do just that. If you have a Spotify subscription already, then all you need to do is install the app and you can start listening to your favorite playlists.
VLC Media Player
Not all the videos have a standard file format and your stick may not play the videos that use a rather odd format. In that case, VLC Media Player for Fire Stick will help you out. As you already know, it can play almost all the media formats available out there, and it can now do it on your Fire Stick, too.
AllCast
Sometimes, you may want to watch some of the contents that’s stored on your mobile device on your TV. AllCast makes it possible by letting you cast your media files from your compatible device over to your Fire Stick. Both your devices should be on the same network and you’re ready to cast.

Private Internet Access
When you connect your Fire Stick to a host of online networks, it’s recommended you keep your profile protected from any unauthorized activities.

Downloader
You’ll need it to load the apps that aren’t available on the App Store.
AirScreen
AirScreen lets you mirror the screens of your smartphones to your Fire Stick. You basically download the app to your stick and connect your device to it using a standard connection method, and you have your phone’s screen showing up on your TV.

Bookmarker 1
Typing isn’t the most easiest of things to do on a Fire Stick and Bookmarker 1 solves the issue for you, at least in a few cases. It’s a bookmarking app that allows you to save your URLs and open them later in the browser of your choice with a single-click.It currently works with both Firefox and Silk browser and you should have one of these installed on your stick to use the app.
