What is AppLinked?
AppLinked is a file-sharing service that lets you download apps on Android devices using AppLinked codes.
The app is compatible with Android TV boxes, Amazon Fire TV devices, and Android smartphones and tablets.
You can download various utility apps and official apps from AppLinked.
It also allows you to download third-party, unverified streaming apps, which may or may not have the necessary licenses to distribute content. FireStickTricks.com is strictly against piracy, and we advise you to stick to the known and legal apps.
For FireStick Users
ISPs, hackers, and other third-party entities worldwide may monitor your online activities. For security, privacy, and smooth streaming, it is recommended to use a reliable VPN for FireStick. Your IP address is visible to sites you visit.
I recommend ExpressVPN, a fast and secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including an 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 73% on the 2-year plan.

Is AppLinked Safe & Legal?
AppLinked is an unofficial app. This raises concerns about safety and legality among users.
I scanned the latest AppLinked APK file on VirusTotal to check for suspicious elements. As you can see in the screenshot below, the security vendors found no red flags on the AppLinked APK file version 2.0.5. This is the latest version as of September 12, 2025. FireStickTricks cannot guarantee that future versions will also be safe.
AppLinked is a legal file-sharing app. You can install it on your FireStick without worrying about legality.
What you download from AppLinked may or may not be legal. For instance, it features numerous legitimate utility apps. However, some AppLinked codes may also contain free and pirated streaming apps. Downloading and using such apps may result in legal trouble.
Always use official apps to watch content on FireStick.
How to Install AppLinked on FireStick
Since AppLinked is not officially available on the Amazon App Store, we must sideload the app from a third-party website.
To make the installation process easier to follow, I divided it into two parts:

- Installing AppLinked on FireStick

Part 1: Preparing your FireStick to Download AppLinked
To sideload any third-party app, we need to install the Downloader app. I am including the quick steps here. Detailed instructions are available in a separate guide on how to sideload apps on FireStick.
Here’s how to prepare your FireStick to sideload AppLinked:
1. Click Find>Search on your FireStick homescreen. Type Downloader on the on-screen keyboard and select Downloader in the suggested results. Click Get or Download to install the app on your device.
2. Return to the Fire TV home screen and click Settings>My Fire TV> Developer Options. Choose Install Unknown Apps, navigate to the Downloader option, and turn ON the toggle.
Now, select Fire TV Stick and click it 7 times to enable Developer Options. If you’re still not sure how to do it, here’s a step-by-step guide to enable developer options.
Note: If you see Apps from Unknown Sources, select it to turn it ON.

3. An on-screen keyboard appears. Enter the following URL: applinked.org, and click Go.
Note: FireStickTricks.com doesn’t own, host, or distribute this APK. The URL above redirects to the official website of AppLinked, where the APK is hosted.

You’re now all set. A quick reminder: your internet provider and many websites/apps can see your IP address and some details about your connection. Using a VPN encrypts your traffic and masks your IP address, which helps protect your online privacy.
I recommend ExpressVPN. It’s a reputable VPN with strong encryption and fast connections, and it’s straightforward to install on Fire TV/FireStick and other devices.
Next, I’ll show you how to set up and use ExpressVPN on your Fire TV/Stick.
Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it for free for the first 30 days, and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.
Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find, followed by the Search option.
Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.
Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.
Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.
Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.
