Amazon Officially Blocks 3rd Party Piracy Apps on Firestick/Fire TV

And next is the complete block.

I’m sure that’s coming. I just put that app on 4K Max Gen 1 stick (without exploit) for testing purposes.

They’ve blocked at least 4 apk’s on my Firestick and Fire TV. I won’t mention names.

so the Onn Android Boxes are the way to go ?

Well @Boltgang8081 , for the price they are a strong competitor, but the choice is always your, plenty to read about them here on TroyPoint….

Depends what you want to do with them. If you’re only watching Netflix, Prime video, etc, then firestick is fine. If you want to sideload apps, then the android boxes (eg Onn) are the way to go, for now at least.

Just buy a iptv subscription thousands of them out there and add to your smarters player app or others.live tv,movies,series galore for cheap

RE: Latest Email called Hot New Streaming Apps…..DOES NOT WORK if you use SurfShark. I am done with the Firestick and SurfShark in a couple weeks time when my subscription runs out. Thanks Troypoint for the 2 years I was able to enjoy TV series and movies from different apps. Good Luck everyone on your ventures with a Firestick or Omni box. The Canadian senior can’t afford the price of Surfshark in USD $$ for one year now.

Hello, it does work. You need to do what the video in the following link shows. All VPNs are having problems with various addons and services blocking them. This is how to get around that.

In the meantime there is an alternative to App Cloner. Since App Cloner does not work for most applications on my side, I started using this alternative called App Virtualizer. I am not sure if I can already post links here, but I installed it from app-virtualizer dot com.

It does not work with every app for me, but it works with many more apps than App Cloner.

Just do your research

Carry ONN

Take your point but fire stick owners if they do there research the blocks have no effect just a bit of time is all it takes

Hi Miki!! I havnt see you in a while! My firestick got zapped from all my apps. Im now having to “start over” i think im going to just move over side loading everything to the Onn device on my Onn roku TV. Ugh here i go. I hope you are well friend.

I am very busy but well. I know the Onn will work for ya. Just more work unfortunately, but then it gets less as you go along thank heavens.

My XCIPTV app just got flagged with the warning message. Is this starting to go to everyone or do I just need to delete and re-install?

The best option long term is to use a Google TV/Android TV device ( Best Android TV/Google TV Boxes in 2026 (Goodbye Fire TV) ) but in the short term you could try another live TV player in the TROYPOINT Toolbox - TROYPOINT Toolbox V2 - TROYPOINT: Tech Tutorials On Firestick, Kodi, Android TV Box, VPN, IPTV, Streaming, & More
