Downloader app is by far the most popular way to jailbreak your Firestick which will allow you to get access 3rd party apps that are not available on the Amazon App store.
unfortunately, Amazon App store has rejected many popular IPTV players such as Tivimate and IPTV smarters pro in this article I will take you step by step to successfully install the Downloader app on your firestick, FireTV & Fire cube and enjoy full access to IPTV.
what you need to know first is that Firestick prohibits downloading apps out of their store and you will need to have a VPN that will allow you to download them without any issues, if you don’t already have one you can check this guide where I reviewed the best VPN services for IPTV based on my personal experience.

Downloader app features.
1- URL SHORTNER
the URL shortener is the most exciting feature that I really like, instead of bothering to write a full URL like ( https://iptvhow.com/tiv ) which will allow you to download Tivimate, you can do the same task by just writing a couple of numbers like 24637 to easily download the same app.
This is a list of numbers you can use to download some of the most popular IPTV players
- Tivimate: 24637
- IPTV Smarters Pro: 73224
2- Web browzing
The downloader app has also a Built-in browser that will allow you to go straight to the website you want to download the app from.
all you have to do is either write the website url on the search bar, or search for it using google as shown on the image bellow.
3- Favorites
if you were repeatedly visiting a website to download APKs this feature will come in handy, with a click of a button you can save the web address to the Favorites section and come back to it any time you want without the need to write the full URL again.
Wrap-up
The Downloader app is the most convenient way to jailbreak your firestick and sideload 3rd party apps which will unlock a whole new world of possibilities.
