How to Install Typhoon TV APK on Amazon FireStick / Fire TV

In this tutorial, I am providing the detailed steps to install Typhoon TV APK on FireStick. These steps will also work on other Fire TV devices including Fire TV Cube and Fire TV Stick 4K.

Typhoon TV APK is a free streaming service with on-demand content. The app has a big line-up of movies and TV series. It features all the trending and popular videos.

Typhoon TV is a clone of now-defunct Terrarium TV. It also looks a lot like Cinema HD APK, which is also a very popular streaming platform.

This app is doing a fine job. It gets many quality links. It is easy to use. The app developers keep pushing new updates to make sure it remains stable and functional.

You can sort the content by various categories and genres in just a few easy clicks. Typhoon TV FireStick app also lets you filter the content by year. Real Debrid and Trakt integration are available allowing enhanced streaming experience.

Attention FireStick Users: Read before you continue

Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If found streaming copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick, you could get into serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend you to get a good FireStick VPN and hide your identity so that your movie viewing experience doesn’t take a bad turn.

I use ExpressVPN which is 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 3 months free and save 49% on annual plan.

Here are the reasons why you must use a VPN all the time.

How to access the Typhoon TV app

If you already know how to access the installed apps on FireStick, you may skip to the next part (How to use Typhoon TV).

If you have 20 or fewer apps, you can access all of them from the home screen of FireStick. The second row called Your Apps & Channels has your installed apps (the first row is Recent). Just navigate this row left or right to find Typhoon TV FireStick app.

However, if you have more than 20 apps, you will need to expand the Your Apps & Channels section. Here is how you can do it:

Select Your Apps & Channels category on the home screen
Click See All, which is the first option when you start from the left
This is what you see when this category is expanded. Go to the bottom and click the Typhoon TV app icon

You can also move Typhoon TV APK to the home screen. Press the menu key (with 3 horizontal lines) on your FireStick remote. Now click Move on your TV screen (popup in the bottom-right corner). Shift the app to the first or second row on the top

This is how you access Typhoon TV APK on FireStick

How to use the app

Launch the Typhoon TV FireStick app. If you see any prompts, choose the appropriate options to proceed

Click Allow on this prompt

You might see a prompt to update the app. If you do, I suggest you first install the updated version of the app. If you don’t, the prompt will keep coming back and it could be pretty irritating. Also, it is best to keep the app up to date.

On this Changelog window, click OK

Choose the default video player now (or you may choose later from the app Settings). There are three options:

ExoPlayer (built-in)
MX Player (recommended)
VLC Player

Read the Disclaimer and click Accept to continue

You should see the main screen of the app

The default selection is TV Shows on the main screen. You will find the trending, popular TV series here.

If you want to watch movies, you may choose Movies in the app menu (we will get to it later)

Pick the TV series you want to watch, choose the season and episode. The app will fetch the streaming links. Click one of the links and start watching.

The app menu can be accessed by clicking the 3-line button in the top-left corner of the main screen

This is where you click Movies to view the movie titles on the main screen of the app

Favorites, TV Calendar, Downloads, and Settings are the other menu options

Let’s go back to the main screen. On the top, you will find an upside-down triangle symbol. It is the second option from the left after the 3-line menu.

This option brings up various categories in which you can sort the content. For instance, for TV Shows, the categories include Trending, Recently Updated, New Shows, Premieres, Airing Today, etc.

There are similar categories for Movies as well

There is a 3-dot menu item in the top-right corner as well. It lets you access app Settings, Typhoon TV website, their Facebook page and a couple of other things

Second from the right (and next to the 3-dot menu) is another upside-down, but striped triangle. This option lets you filter content by year

The star option gives quick access to the videos you have marked as your favorite

Then, there is the Search option (the lens button) that lets you find the movies and TV series by keywords such as name, artist, director, etc.

We now look at the app Settings options. You can access Settings from the 3-line menu in the top-left corner or the 3-dot menu in the top-left corner

There is a range of options in the Typhoon TV FireStick app Settings. However, it is unlikely you will use all of them. Let me list the most used options. If you have any questions about any specific option, feel free to ask via the comments section below:

Choose default player: As I said, you can change the default player here as well if you didn’t do it when you launched the app for the first time
Show HD links only: If you want to filter out all other links and view only the HD links
Trakt.tv: Sign in to your Trakt TV account and sync your viewing history and favorites across other Trakt compatible devices
Choose default navigation: You will find this option in the User Interface If you would like the Typhoon TV FireStick app to display Movies instead of TV Shows on the main screen after startup, you can change it here.
Choose default category or genre (for TV Shows and Movies both): You can choose the category or genre by clicking the upside-down triangle. If you want to make any category/genre appear by default, here is where you can set it
Real–Debrid: Sign in to your Real Debrid account for higher quality streams
