How to Install Aurora Store on FireStick for Google Play Store Apps

Today, I will show you how to install the Aurora Store on FireStick. The steps provided in this guide apply to all Fire TV devices, including FireStick 4K Max, FireStick 4K, FireStick Lite, Fire TV Cube, and more.

What is Aurora Store?

Aurora Store is a third-party app store for Amazon FireStick and other Android devices. Its design is similar to that of the Google Play Store. The store offers several official apps that are not listed on the Amazon App Store, as well as various unofficial apps from third-party developers.

Aurora Store is similar to Aptoide, another third-party app store. It offers many useful and exciting apps and is also part of our list of top apps for Amazon 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!

Here are reasons why using a VPN at all times is essential.
