Happy mods
Pretty much every version Iāve downloaded had this issue with Microsoft Defender and AV. Had to jump through hoops to get it downloaded. Something off there!
Uninstalled the non-functioning 1.1.3 and installed 1.1.5 (in the USA). Still not working - same spinning circle on all options.

I hadnāt been using āUK Turksā for quite awhile. The version I had was ā1.1.2ā. I think I wasnāt particularly interested in having to go get codes that were only good for 3 hrs. at a shot (and it wasnāt even working at that).
I DID, however, have LOTS of āFAVORITESā saved for old movies, etc. so I was googling to see if these can somehow be retained when updating to a newer version. It seems absurd that this would not be possible, but unlike majority of the āmovie/TVā apps that let you ābackupā to a folder on your streaming device (and ārestoreā to the updated app version) ā¦ I see nothing in āUK Turksā Settings to accomplish this!! I STILL DONāT KNOW IF IT IS TRULY THAT STUPIDLY DESIGNED. Anyone know what I can do?
Anyway, while trying to find info about this, I saw many Reddit comments that it hadnāt even been working for sometime, rumors it had been shut down, etc. ā¦ but just as quickly discovered that this ā1.1.5ā version just came out and was working (for most people, anyway) and to sideload it from APKTime. I quickly discovered I had to UNINSTALL my older version first (F*ck! There go all my saved āfavoritesā!)!
Well, it was no longer functioning now, so I bit the bullet and uninstalled the app on my three FireStick 4Kās (2 standard & 1 MAX, 1st Gen.). Download from āAPKTimeā now worked properly. I then took the time to save a bunch of āFavoritesā (again) before I went onto my MAX stick. Now Iām thinking this is SO dumb that I have to go through and re-save all the SAME āfavoritesā AGAIN! Why is there no simple way to ātransferā these when you have multiple devices?
But before going through this again, I realized I hadnāt remembered to do a VirusTotal scan on my first stick. Iām thinking that since I got these from āAPKTimeā it shouldnāt be an issue ā¦ because Iāve always been told that these big app stores make a point of saying they ārun virus & malware scansā on all their appsā before making them available in their stores!
** Imagine my shock when I my VirusTotal app found ā22ā cases of malware in this brand new āUK Turksā app!! WTF! āWTH, āAPKTimeā!!ā
I later came across āTroyāsā just posted article (June 6th?) on downloading this new version, where he is actually aware that it comes riddled with malware ā¦ then merely says 'to always run a VPN when using ā¦ (blah-blah). Well, I generally do. But how is my VPN (SurfShark basic, btw) going to protect me now that this infested app is installed on my FireStick??
This reminds me of when the original āApplinkedā developer sold his app to new people and the very next version came riddled with malware! At the time, everyone was warning users to immediately UNINSTALL it!! People did and eventually later versions came out without all the malware infesting it! Personally, I never did go back to it.
So, I find this all WAY too suspicious. The App mysteriously stopped working (for how long?), rumors abound that the Developer was shut down and now a working app appears that full of viruses and malware!!
Whether the orig. developer sold this app or still has it doesnāt much matter (though it would be nice to know, for an app thatās been around so long) if itās going to be full of dangerous garbage. And donāt tell me Iāve got 22 āfalse positivesā, either!
Lastly, what happened to all the UFC bout videos?
But Iāll settle for finding a way to save and restore the āFAVORITESā (assuming the old or new developers come to their senses and clean this crap up!).
on apk time works well
For Old Movies, have you tried an app like ReelGood to discover additional apps that contain your favorite oldies?
Stop with the long rant hereā¦Using Favorites is like being in the 70ās! Dump Favorites and use Trakt TV. Itās Cloud based and saves all your shows and Movies and keeps Tracked of what you watch.

UK Turks is back up and running with v1.1.5. Still have the silly token requirement for live TV.
I downloaded it twice today, from two different sources. The first one - Firesticktricks - had nothing, just the spinning wheel.
In the second - from Firetvsticks.com - everything bar the Live TV section works. There is a message saying that that section is currently down, but the Premium Sports channels can be accessed with a token - but the link to the tokens isnāt working either.
Thereās also a message saying that those channels will only work with version 1.1.5
best way is apk time as troy stated works well
