Best Amazon Fire TV Apps

1. Amazon Prime Video

price: Included with Amazon Prime for $ 12.99 per month with a free 30-day trial

The biggest Fire TV app is, of course, for Amazon Prime Video. You have to pay for it, but once you do, you'll be able to stream thousands of TV shows and movies, including original series like the hit superhero show The Boys. Amazon Prime Video also offers a limited number of live sporting events. The truth is, if you own a Fire TV device, you have to get Amazon Prime Video.

2. IMDb TV

price: Free

In addition to Amazon Prime Video, the company also offers an ad-supported free streaming service, iMDB TV. Classic TV fans will have plenty to stream, and there are some great older and even newer films to show too. It's even starting to branch out into original content, starting with the new Alex Rider spy series, with more to follow in 2021.

3. Twitching

price: Free

Amazon also owns Twitch, the game-oriented streaming service. You can watch live or archived "Let's Play" videos from your favorite video game streamers. But Twitch isn't just for gamers. There is other content that you can watch as well. You can also support some popular streamers by subscribing to their channels.

4. Netflix

price: From $ 8.99 per month

Netflix is still the largest premium streaming service you can access as part of the Fire TV apps. The service is getting more and more expensive, but on the other hand it has more original content than any other service and more exclusive TV shows and movies are added every month.

5. Hulu

price: Starts at $ 5.99 per month with a 30-day free trial

The biggest feature of Hulu is that subscribers can watch new episodes of many of the latest ABC, NBC and Fox TV shows on-demand the day after they air. You can also watch many classic and newer films and TV shows, and stream a number of original films and series, including the Emmy-winning drama The Handmaids Tale. You can also sign up for Hulu Plus Live TV, which has many live streaming cable TV channels as well as cloud DVR for an additional charge.
