This article shows how to install Rapid Streamz on FireStick and explores its safety and legality stances. You can use it with any FireStick, including FireStick Lite, FireStick 4K Max, Fire TV Cube, New FireStick 4K, and New FireStick 4K Max.
What is Rapid Streamz?
Rapid Streamz is a live TV app made for Android devices by third-party developers.
Rapid Streamz lets you stream channels from regions such as the US, UK, Australia, Canada, India, Portugal, and more. It also features sections for live sports events, such as boxing, tennis, cricket, football, rugby, basketball, motorsports, and wrestling.
TV channels are split into folders with country labels, and live sports events have their categories. Moreover, sports folders have subcategories – for instance, the football folder has sub-sections of different leagues.
The Rapid Streamz side menu reveals more app sections, such as Favorites, Live Events, Recently Watched, Request Channel, Settings, Privacy Policy, and Help. Although Rapid Streamz is a live TV and sports events streaming service, it features a Rapid Movies section with channels that offer 24/7 movie feeds.
With over 800 live channels and multiple streaming links, Rapid Streamz is a solid app for watching your favorite channels and live sports events.
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.

Is Rapid Streamz Safe & Legal?
Rapid Streamz is a third-party live-streaming app made by unknown developers. FireStickTricks.com is not responsible for the safety of unverified apps.
Although some third-party apps may contain viruses, trojans, and malware, not all share a similar malicious nature. Your diligence is vital, as we cannot examine each app’s code.
We always test third-party apps on VirusTotal before installation to keep our streaming devices safe from viruses. Here’s the analysis we did on Rapid Streamz v2.3 APK – please take a look:
Rapid Streamz only contains streaming links to available channels on public forums, websites, and portals—the service doesn’t host the links, a practice known as scraping.
However, FireStickTricks.com cannot determine the legitimacy of Rapid Streamz’s streaming links. Therefore, we consider Rapid Streamz a service operating in a gray area.
That said, we are strictly against piracy and advise our readers to stream content legally on the web. However, you can use a trusted VPN like ExpressVPN for your privacy and safety on the internet.
