How to Install FireDL APK and Use On Your Firestick / Android Device

The FireDL app is aimed at making the download and installation of applications, Kodi builds, and Kodi Repos super easy. It does this by making use of shortcodes that automatically convert into direct URLs and then download a required file. This makes FireDL one of the best utility apps for Firestick as well as Android devices.

FireDL was initially in the Amazon App Store, but it was later kicked out. In this guide, we shall look at how to sideload the apk file and install FireDL, how to use it, and even where to get the codes.

Mind your privacy & security

The reason Amazon discontinued FireDL from the Amazon App Store is that the app is mostly used to download apps and Kodi builds/ repositories that provide pirated content. Remember that consumption of such content is illegal in most countries, and governments, ISPs and authorities actively monitor user activities.

To avoid getting into trouble, we always advise our users to always use a reliable VPN for privacy and security. Once connected, it will encrypt your activities and give you a new online identity.

How to Install FireDL on Android TV

Unlike the case with Amazon App Store, the required APK file to install the FireDL App is available within the Google Play Store. This makes it a quite straightforward process to get the app on your Android Smartphone, Android TV, and Android TV Box.

All you need to do is search “FireDL” on Play Store and then click “Install”. The app’s creator is aidyMatic.

How to use FireDL

FireDL is somehow similar to the Downloader app in that it allows users to download any apk file they want to. However, it’s also unique in that it allows you to use shortcodes to achieve the same. Once you enter a file’s valid short code, the FireDL app automatically converts it into a URL. From there you can then download and install the file.

To get started, you will need the URL code for the apk you need. Here’s a list of codes for some of the most popular apps.

• Kodi Leia 18.5 – 784843
• CinemaHD – 613287
• MX Player – 820807
• Mobdro – 151016
• Titanium TV – 000420
• Plex – 632975
• APKTime – 072207
• Popcorn Time – 158818
