Best Firestick app for safety and content 

To keep your online activity and data private and secure, get a VPN for Firestick like VeePN first. It’s a handy tool that guarantees online privacy and enables seamless content access. 

With VeePN, you can:

  • Secure your data. With third-party apps like BeeTV fetching streaming links from various sources, VeePN will keep your data safe from potential security risks by encrypting it.
  • Mask your IP address. Your Internet service provider (ISP) can view you online activity and even slow down your connection. However, with an anonymous IP address from a VPN, you can take back your privacy as well as stop Internet throttling. 
  • Change your virtual location. Many apps restrict access based on geo-location, but a VPN allows you to bypass Internet restrictions and enjoy your favorite content wherever you are. Just choose from VeePN’s 89 global locations and keep on streaming. 

And the best part? You can try out our VPN app risk-free for 30 days! Safely access the best Firestick apps without limitations with VeePN’s affordable plans and a money-back guarantee.

Disclaimer: VeePN does not promote, condone, or encourage using a VPN in ways that would potentially violate Terms of Service of streaming service providers. For more details, please read the VeePN Terms of Service.

We can’t talk about the best streaming apps for Firestick and not include Kodi. With this one, you can get access to just about everything you want. Just choose between many Kodi add-ons and watch your favorite HD/4K films and shows of various genres. A downside is that Kodi isn’t available through Fire TV official store, and you’ll have to sideload it (find our how-to instruction later in the article).

How about some Amazon Prime content coupled with licensed titles? Amazon Freevee is one of the best apps for Firestick to watch TV shows and other content. It has loads of titles in many genres and categories, including comedy, popular TV, documentaries, stand-up comedy, and music tastemakers. Yet, for this wide selection of content, you’ll have to pay with ads.

The only problem is that the service is available for UK residents only. But when traveling, you can still stream it with a VPN for BBC iPlayer.
