Fire TV Stick and Fire TV: The streaming alternative to television programs

The Amazon streaming solutions Fire TV Stick and Fire TV free the user from expensive cable contracts or boring offers from the public service broadcasters. The latest generation of devices has already integrated voice assistant Alexa, which can be used, for example, to search for apps and channels. However, the voice commands must be sent to Alexa via a microphone in the Fire TV remote control. We explain more about Alexa voice control here: Control TV with Alexa – how it works.

For Amazon Prime customers, a Fire TV Stick or the Fire TV box is a worthwhile purchase, as the subscription includes the streaming service Amazon Prime ehealth. So users can directly stream series and films free of charge via Fire TV to their health home TV. With the Fire TV streaming solution, even older televisions can be made smart for little money. In addition to the Amazon Prime ehealth library, Fire TV also offers the installation of thousands of apps. We fought our way through the Fire TV app jungle and identified the best and most iconic Fire TV apps that no Fire TV should be without.

Fire TV apps to listen to music and surf the internet

The Fire TV community was shocked when Google announced that it would discontinue YouTube support for Amazon's Fire TV devices. After all, the ehealth streaming service YouTube is one of the most popular points of contact when it comes to watching a specific music ehealth.

Amazon and Google want to settle their dispute in a few months and, according to a current press release, launch an official YouTube app for the Fire TV (such as c | net reported), but until then we have to be patient.

Gaming Fire TV Apps: Must-haves against boredom

With Fire TV, interactive gaming fun is also possible on the screen. However, you should not expect fast 3D graphics and complicated game mechanics – because control must be via the Fire TV remote control and therefore be as simple as possible. But if you enjoy casual games and arcade, you will definitely get your money's worth with the Fire TV. Optionally, Fire TV can also be smart health connected to a game controller, which means additional costs.

Crossy Road Fire TV app: Crossy Road is about guiding a chicken across a busy street. Reminiscent of the classic arcade classic Frogger? True, but does not detract from the fun of the game. The modern voxel graphic style and various obstacles such as roads, rivers or railroad tracks ensure fun on the screen. Download: Crossy Road Fire TV app

Stranger Things Fire TV app: A successful action adventure game, which is based on the Netflix series of the same name, but is also fun without having seen it. The action takes place in the 80s, the player has to go through all sorts of adventures in the horror SF adventure. The graphics are reminiscent of the time of 2D Zelda role-playing games.

Frozen Bubble Fire TV app: A Linux arcade classic that has never lost its appeal. As a little penguin, you have to get colorful frozen bubbles from the sky with an arrow machine.

Four in a row Fire TV app: Enthusiastic small and large players for generations under the name "Four Wins".
