Downloader App Goes Home

Dear TROYPOINT Fans,

TROYPOINT purchased the Downloader app from Elias @ AFTVNews.com approximately one year ago.

Elias was the original developer of the application.

Last year he took a new job with Amazon as Product Manager for Fire TV at Amazon Lab126 which required him to step away from AFTVNews and the Downloader App.

At that time TROYPOINT acquired the application.

Ever since Elias created Downloader, we’ve enjoyed watching it climb to the top 10 free apps available in the Amazon App Store.

Credit for this application has always gone to Elias as it is the most popular way to side-load apps to any Fire TV/Stick and Android TV device.

Elias has decided to voluntarily resign from Amazon so he can return to running AFTVNews.

This is awesome news for us cord cutting enthusiasts!

TROYPOINT has transferred the ownership rights of the Downloader app back to Elias and he is now in full control of the application once again.

We love everything that Elias does and recommend that all of our readers bookmark his Website AFTVNews.com for great things to come in the future.

Elias, thanks for allowing TROYPOINT to “watch over” your application while you were away.

The Downloader App is now back home where it belongs.

Congratulations to Elias and thanks for your numerous contributions to the Fire TV/Stick community!

How To Install Downloader On Android TV Box, Phone, & Tablet

This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to install Downloader on Android TV Box, phone or tablet.

The Downloader app is one of the most important tools that we use on jailbroken Firesticks and Fire TVs.

This tutorial will show you how to install it on stock Android devices where it isn’t available in Google Play Store.

If you’re using a Fire TV Stick, Fire TV, Fire TV Cube, NVIDIA SHIELD, or any device running Android TV, you can install this directly through your respective app store.

The browser feature does not currently work very well on Android TV Boxes running the stock Android OS. I will show you how to complete the same task through Chrome browser in the video below.

Downloader App on Firestick & Android – How to Install Unlimited Apps

This step-by-step guide will show how to install the Downloader App on Firestick/Fire TV, Android devices, Chromecast, and more.

The Downloader app is used by millions of cord-cutters across the world for sideloading apps to their streaming device with the click of a button.

Downloader is available for installation on nearly any streaming device imaginable.

This includes any device that runs the Android operating system (OS). Variations of Android OS include Android TV, Fire OS, Stock Android, Google TV, and more.

Popular streaming devices that run Android OS include the following:

• Amazon Firestick (all models)
• Fire TV, Fire TV Cube, and all Fire TV devices
• NVIDIA Shield (all variations)
• Android phones & tablets
• Chromecast with Google TV
• Generic Android TV Boxes
• MECOOL Boxes
• Tivo Stream 4K
• Windows PC and Mac (via Android emulator)
• Raspberry Pi

Note: Roku and Apple devices run their own operating systems and are NOT compatible with the Downloader app. We recommend using one of the devices listed above instead.

The app itself uses a home screen with a built-in web browser that allows for the installation of apps and APK’s.

The key to this is file management that is programmed within the app to allow for download, deletion, and more.

The feature component of this tool is the ability to side-load applications not available in the Amazon App Store.

This allows users to install various apps and APK’s from thousands of websites with just a URL.

See our list of Best Downloader Codes for a quick way to install the best apps.

This process is often referred to as “jailbreaking” and is popular for devices such as the Amazon Firestick/Fire TV.

TROYPOINT has a complete tutorial for jailbreaking a firestick that will walk you through the entire process step-by-step.

This guide has been accessed by millions of cord-cutters across the world.

Below we have included step-by-step screenshot instructions for installing Downloader on each type of Android operating system.

Downloader App Features

AFTVnews is the original creator of the Downloader App and has made it very successful to this day.

In 2019, TROYPOINT purchased the Downloader application from AFTVNews along with a few other subsidiary apps.

However, AFTVNews has since bought back the application and currently owns it.

Besides the home-screen Browser that is open upon startup, the Downloader app has a few other unique features that make it so popular.

Using the Browser tab allows for navigation on any website. Best of all, you won’t need a keyboard as the app has a built-in mouse to scroll and select with ease.

This works fabulously when a URL is not a direct link to an APK and we must download the file from a web-page.

Another key feature is the Favorites tab that lets you bookmark any pages you visit frequently and access them with a click.

Within the settings are options to enable APK Auto-Install, JavaScript, and more. We suggest leaving these settings to default for the most part.

The Files tab will compile any APK file you install. We suggest cleaning this out when installing APK files.

If you experience a message saying an “unknown error has occurred” check out the link below.

The Downloader app is the best tool available when it comes to sideloading unauthorized apps on any Android-powered device.

If you own an Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, Chromecast, or any Android device this tool is a must-have!
