Attention FireStick Users
Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If you use third-party streaming apps on your Fire TV Stick, you should always use a good FireStick VPN and hide your identity so your movie-viewing experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.
I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Im still baffled by this!! I don’t have an option of Computers app! Where is this? On my Mac or on the fire stick?
Hi Carol. The “computers” icon should be on your Apple TV homescreen.
I have Apple TV app downloaded on my Fire TV Stick 4K Ultra HD with Alexa Voice Remote | streaming media player, and have signed in with my Apple ID. Unfortunately I cannot see my home movies, and saved films that I previously had. Is there something I have done something wrong? I have all my family videos on apple movies and now cannot access them on the fire stick tv anymore, only on my phone or Mac. Any suggestions please?
Hi Carol. To view Home Sharing Content from the Mac on Apple TV, use the “Computers app” on Apple TV.
I downloaded the Apple TV plus app on my to Toshiba Amazon fire TV and when I go to access the sign in screen it just circles and circles and never comes back
Hi Donald. Here is our guide on how to stop buffering on FireStick.
I am using the Apple TV app on the Firestick 4k to watch content on a Samsung 4K TV. I had the Firestick display settings set to auto. Unfortunately, content on Apple TV seemed way over digitized, resulting in highlights (whites of eyes, teeth, grey hair, etc.) appearing almost iridescent or glowing. The only way I have been able to lessen the issue is to drop the Firestick display resolution to 1080P. This helped, but now I really can’t take advantage of the 4k. Is this a known issue and am I stuck having to downgrade Firestick display resolution whenever I want to watch Apple TV?
Hi David, FireStick 4k does support 4k through the Apple TV app. I suggest returning the resolution to 4k and messing with the display settings to try to tone down the highlights.
