Amazon Fire TV Stick user reveals six ‘great apps’ for free streaming
AN Amazon Fire TV Stick user has revealed six free streaming apps for the device and you might want to download a few of them.
The list includes some favorites like YouTube, as well as apps you may not have heard of before.
“There are tons of great apps for your Fire Stick besides Netflix and Prime,” the Fire TV Stick user wrote on Quora.
The statement was in response to a question posed by another Quora user about the best apps to download on an Amazon Fire TV Stick.
“Free streaming: Pluto TV, Tubi, YouTube, Crackle, IMDb TV, Plex (with your own media library) offer tons of content without paid subscriptions,” the Quora user advised.
YOUTUBE
YouTube is probably the most popular app on that list and can give you a lot of free content.
If you sign up for YouTube TV for streaming, you have to pay a fee, but regular YouTube makes money through ads.
TUBI
Tubi is one of the largest free movie and TV services in the US.
The American company was launched in 2014 and now has more than 74 million monthly active users.
Via the Tubi app you have access to more than 40,000 films and TV series.

PLUTO TV
Pluto TV was also on the list and has over 200 channels, as well as thousands of movies and TV shows.
Like the other apps, it also makes its money by showing ads.
CRACKLE
Crackle promises to bring users “the best in free movies and TV.”
Watch Hollywood movies, TV shows and Crackle Originals for free on your favorite devices.
“Stream premium shows, movies and exclusive titles you won’t see anywhere else – from a massive library of new and iconic hits,” the app’s Amazon listing explains.
FREE
The list on Quora mentions an app called IMDbTV, but you can no longer find it in the app store.
That’s because the app has now changed its name to Amazon Freevee.
Freevee gives you access to thousands of premium movies and TV shows.
Users also have access to 150 always-on FAST channels.
PLEX
The Plex app in the Amazon AppStore is extremely popular, with a score of 4/5 based on more than 210,000 reviews.
It promises thousands of free movies and TV shows.
“Enjoy everything from Oscar-winning films to anime, documentaries, family-friendly shows and much, much more,” Plex states.
