      Install Downloader App on Firestick<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      The Downloader app is officially available on Amazon Store. You don\u2019t have to side-load it onto your device.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Here is how you can install the app:<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      1.<\/strong> Go to the home screen of Fire TV \/ Stick if you are already not there<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      2.<\/strong> Use your remote to navigate to Find > Search<\/strong> on the menu bar in the middle of the screen<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \n
      \"how<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      3.<\/strong> Now type in \u2018Downloader<\/strong>\u2019 (without the quotes of course) using the onscreen keypad (use the remote to navigate to the letters.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \n
      \"downloader<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      4.<\/strong> You should see the app suggestions on the list that show up as you begin typing. When you see \u2018Downloade<\/strong>r\u2019 on the list, select<\/strong> and open<\/strong> it<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      5.<\/strong> You should now see \u2018Downloader<\/strong>\u2019 appear under the \u2018APPS & GAMES<\/strong>\u2019 section. Go ahead and click it<\/strong><\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \n
      \"download<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      6.<\/strong> Now click the \u2018Get<\/strong>\u2019 or \u2018Download<\/strong>\u2018 button to download and install the app. You should have the app in no more than a couple of minutes<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \n
      \"install<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Once the app is installed, you will again see it in the Apps & Games<\/strong> section and probably on the home screen among the recently installed apps.<\/p>\n

      How to Download Media Player on Firestick Using Downloader App<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Now that you have installed the Downloader app, I will show you how you can download Media Player on your Fire TV or Firestick within minutes.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Where Can I Find the Downloader app?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      The Downloader app may or may not appear on the home screen. You can always go to the Apps list and open the app from there. But, having the app on the home screen is more convenient. I need to use this app frequently and I would like to do it with just a few clicks.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      If the app is not on the home screen, this is how you can move it there:<\/p>\n
