How to Use ABC on FireStick

If ABC is one of your favorite streaming apps or you plan on using it frequently, it would be best to create a shortcut or move the ABC app to your home screen. Moving an app or creating a home screen shortcut is convenient because you can quickly locate the app whenever you want to use it. Here’s a quick guide on how to move the ABC app to your FireStick home screen.

Opening ABC will redirect you to the app’s home screen. You’ll see that the interface has a plain background to help you navigate easily. At the top of the ABC app home screen is six navigation buttons: Home, Browse, Live TV, News, Search and Account. You can watch content directly from the home screen or use the Browse button to review available content.

As stated earlier, the ABC app features locked and unlocked content and channels. Locked channels have a locked icon at the top-left corner, while free/unlocked channels bear no such icon. You’ll require valid TV service credentials to access locked channels. 

As you scroll down the ABC home screen, you’ll see simple and well-organized content categories. Examples of these categories include Live Now, Featured Brands, Latest ABC Episodes, Latest Unlocked Episodes, Emmy Nominees, More To Watch on Freeform, FX and National Geographic, Popular, and many more.

Besides the navigable interface and well-sectioned home screen, you’ll notice the unique blend of content from popular networks, ABC classics and originals, old and newly-released movies and TV shows, and highly-rated news channels. For example, with the ABC app, you can choose between FX shows, stream a wildlife documentary on National Geographic, or review movie and TV show Emmy nominations for this year.

You can browse the free episodes category on its home screen if you’re reviewing the ABC app before subscribing to a supported TV service. When streaming, you’ll see that videos have an excellent resolution of between 720p and 1080p. You can also quickly glide through sub-categories while experiencing minimal buffering and lagging.

Another outstanding ABC app feature is the My List section at the bottom of the home screen. Use these features to list your favorite channels and TV shows and to access them quickly without browsing through the app.

If you prefer navigating using the main menu instead of the top navigation buttons, click on the Browse button. The primary menu tabs include Popular, ABC, Freeform, FX, NAT Geo, Drama, Comedy, and Reality. Click on any tab to stream content featured under that category.

Explore the News and Live TV sections using the buttons at the top to watch something different from entertainment content. For example, you’ll find a lineup of daily and weekly news under the News button. Next to the News button is the Search button. Use the Search Button to find a specific channel, movie, or show without scrolling through the numerous content sections.

Finally, click on the Account button at the end of the home screen to link your ABC to a TV service or to create an ABC account. Linking a valid TV service has several benefits, including unlimited access to the app’s library and additional functions like resume watching.
