In this guide, I will show you how to install and use AppLinked on FireStick. I will also provide the instructions to register and create AppLinked code and download the files using this app. The same guide will work for all Amazon Fire TV versions, Android TV boxes, and Android smartphones and tablets.
A few weeks back, FileLinked (previously DroidAdmin), a file-sharing app, went offline due to unknown reasons. Consequently, perplexed people were looking for an alternative to download their favorite apps through codes on their FireStick/Android devices. Well, we have discussed various FileLinked replacements in a separate article. Now, there’s a new file-sharing app that works exactly like the FileLinked app.

What is AppLinked?
Recently, Inside4ndroid, the developer studio that created UK Turks, Strix, and Media Lounge, launched AppLinked, a brand new FileLinked clone. AppLinked is a file-sharing app that works similarly to FileLinked. All you need to do is enter the code, then browse and download the APKs.
Inside AppLinked Store, you can download various apps across various categories, including movies, TV shows, live TV, sports, utility apps, and much more. Besides APKs, the app also lets you share images and videos. The app converts an APK link or group of APKs into a numeric code, allowing the quick installation of apps.
The app is compatible with Android TV boxes, Amazon Fire TV devices, and Android smartphones and tablets. Since the app is new, you may have trouble finding a good AppLinked code at the moment. I’ll help you with that later in this article.
Is AppLinked Safe?
FireStickTricks.com does not verify the legality of any applications or services. But before proceeding with the installation, I checked the official APK file link on Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal for any malicious threats. As you can see from the screenshot, the file is perfectly safe for your device.

While the AppLinked app is safe to download, there are several third-party apps that streams protected content freely. To keep yourself safe from hacks and spying, I highly recommend a reliable VPN service like ExpressVPN.
How to Install AppLinked on FireStick
Since AppLinked is not officially available on the Amazon App Store, we have to use a third-party website to sideload the app.
To make the installation process easier to follow, I divided it into two parts:
- Preparing Your FireStick to Download AppLinked
- Installing AppLinked on FireStick
Attention, FireStick Users!
Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.
I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Let’s install AppLinked on your FireStick device using the Downloader app.
1. Launch Downloader.
2. Select the input box that says Enter a URL.
3. Enter https://bit.ly/3xSeyGA in the box and click Go. The URL is case-sensitive, so make sure you typed it correctly. Please note that the screenshot below shows the original URL, but you may use the shorter URL I just mentioned in this step.
Note: FireStickTricks.com doesn’t own, host, or distribute this APK. The URL above redirects to i4studio.co.uk, where the APK is hosted.
4. Now, wait for the APK to download.
5. Once the APK is downloaded, click INSTALL.
6. Wait for the installation to complete and click DONE.

5. There you have it! AppLinked is now ready to use from your home screen.
How to Use AppLinked on FireStick
When you launch the AppLinked app, you’re taken to a home screen that looks like this.
As you can see, the interface is pretty minimal and doesn’t have much to explore or tweak. If you know what code you want to use, go for it! Or you can try out some of the codes I mention below these instructions. Once you enter a store code, the app will save it automatically, so you don’t need to type it out every time to browse through the same code.
To install apps with AppLinked codes, here’s what you need to do.
1. Click Add Store on the top right.
2. In the pop-up, select the input box that says Your Code Here.
3. Now, type the code and click Submit. I’m using 5555 for this example.

5. Among the list of apps, select one you want to install and click on it.
6. Select Download and wait for it to complete.
7. Follow the usual installation procedure and you’re done!
How to Register and Create an AppLinked Code
Like FileLinked, AppLinked lets you create a store code and add various apps to the code. Why would you want to? Well, let’s say you know exactly which apps you’d like to sideload onto your FireStick, but those apps aren’t conveniently grouped into a single code so that you can quickly install them all.
Well, you can use your laptop or mobile device to create a store code containing all the apps you want to download. Then you can install all of those apps on your FireStick using that one code.
To create your own store code, you must first register an account with AppLinked. I have explained it in the steps below. Take a look.
1. Open your internet browser on another device (mobile/laptop/tablet). Type in https://i4studio.co.uk/applinked and press the enter button/key.
2. Click Create A Store.
3. Fill in the required information and click Register.
4. Now, go to your email account and find the email from inside4ndroid with the subject AppLinked – Sign Up.
5. Click the link provided in the email, or navigate back to https://i4studio.co.uk/applinked manually.
6. Select Login at the top. Type in your Store Code, Username, and Password. Then click the Login button below your information.
7. Congratulations, you now have your AppLinked store. You can add an application to your store code by clicking the Add Application option on top. Before submitting, you need to fill out the Application Title, Application Description, APK External Link, and Image External Link.
While all four fields are required, it’s worth noting that the text you enter is not verified in any way. So if you’re making the store for your own purposes, you can enter any placeholder text for the description and the image link. The APK link, however, needs to be correct if you want to download the APK on your FireStick. And having the correct app title will be helpful when you’re browsing your store.
AppLinked lets you change your store code as well. If you decide you don’t like the store code you chose, click Change Store Code at the top of the site and choose a new one.
Some Working Codes to Try
As I mentioned above, the app is relatively new and contains limited codes. If you’re looking for specific apps or you’d like details on the best codes, you can check out our full article on the best AppLinked codes and all their apps.
