Home tech, particularly in televisions, is advancing more by the day. With the emergence of Android TVs and firesticks from companies like Amazon among others, the entertainment experience could never be better. But the majority of the streaming services that are coming up require us to pay for subscriptions every single month just to access a number of movies and TV shows.

But what if I told you that you don’t have to pay anymore? From your favourite movies to the latest TV shows, from music streaming to live TV sports, other apps bring it all to you with just the touch of a button. All you have to ensure is that you’ve got a stable internet connection. 

But, there is a huge library with hundreds of apps to pick from, often leaving us in the dilemma – which ones to really go for? Well, that’s exactly what this article is all about.

However, most if not all these services do not guarantee maximum security for your TV’s system and could pose cyber threats from those who actually distribute them. For this, you might want to first make sure you have a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so you can change your server location and enjoy the restricted content without any risks. This also prevents tracking from anyone be it the government or a private organisation.

1. Kodi

This is an open-source application for various platforms and can be downloaded on your firestick or Android TV without any additional cost. you can change your server location and enjoy the restricted content without any risks. The huge list of options means your personal entertainment never becomes dull. Right from music, the latest TV show episodes, live sports and full-fledged HD movies released on a timely basis, you probably will never get bored ever.

Moreover, Kodi offers a unique feature that lets you share photos on any other screen or digital album from your personal slideshow itself. In case you want to record your favourite TV shows, you’ll have to download a PVR add-on for the app. Kodi users are advised to use a VPN due to heavy online surveillance all over the world.

Here’s a link you can use to download the Kodi app.

2. Cinema APK

This app came into existence shortly before Terrarium TV’s shutdown and became mainstream afterwards.  Cinema APK may very well be among the best apps out there for content streaming. This is when you consider its dedicated team of developers working behind the scenes. This ensures the content list is regularly updated with the latest releases. Besides, the app itself gets regular software updates, making it better with time.

However, just like Terrarium TV, Cinema APK does not host any content of its own. It is a beacon that fetches the streaming links from various servers in different locations. Fetching the quality streams is one of the most important aspects of such service, and Cinema APK does the job well.

This lightweight app is fully FireStick remote-compatible making navigation, interaction and handling incredibly easy.

3. Titanium TV

Many users refer to Titanium as an exact rip-off from the long-gone Terrarium TV. And after using the app for a while, I could get inclined to think the same. The app gives the same look and feels as Terrarium almost as if the same code was used to build both apps.

However, the app is satisfactory enough with the big catalogue of movies and TV shows that you can stream in full HD. The app fetches some good links, including several Full HD streams. Titanium TV is also lightweight and easy to install. Here’s how to do install it on your firestick.

4. Cyberflix TV

Just like Titanium, Cyberflix is also a clone that emerged after the shutdown of Terrarium TV. The good news, though, is that it also functions a lot like the original.

CyberFlix TV packs a solid collection of movies and shows. This scraper-based app also fetches the streams from several sources that were prominently seen in Terrarium TV.

5. Stremio (Free + Paid)

If you are looking for an absolutely simple app to use to stream movies, I suggest you use Stremio. With its simple and user-friendly interface, you can just get started almost immediately. Moreover, the online media service installs its own add-ons on the cloud.

This means that when you install an addon on one device, it can be accessed from all your Stremio devices (provided you are signed in with the same account). It also means that the storage space on low-storage devices doesn’t get crammed no matter how many add-ons you install.

You can install any addon with a single click. All the supported addons are also lined up for you when you visit the addons section. You don’t have to look them up manually. Here’s how to install Stremio in your firestick.
