How Do I Get the Apple Store on My Firestick?

You can’t get the Apple App Store on your Fire Stick. You can access the Apple Store website through a browser on your Fire Stick, but the Apple App Store is only available on Apple devices.

You can install the Apple TV app and watch Apple TV+ apps on your Fire Stick, but Amazon has its own app store for Fire TV devices. Since Fire TV devices are based on Android, you can also sideload most Android apps.

Is Apple TV on Fire Stick Free?

The Apple TV app and Apple TV+ streaming service are available on Fire TV devices, including the Fire Stick. The Apple TV app is free on Fire Stick, but the Apple TV+ service isn't, so you need to sign up for Apple TV+ if you want to use it.

If you already have an Apple TV+ account, you can download the app directly to your Fire Stick using the Fire Stick itself, or you can get it from the Amazon website and have it installed automatically whenever your Fire Stick is connected to the internet and not otherwise in use.

Why Can't I Get Apple TV on My Fire Stick?

If you can’t get Apple TV on your Fire Stick, make sure to update your Fire Stick and then try again. An out-of-date Fire Stick will often prevent you from completing the sign-in process, so make sure to try an update if you get stuck while signing in or verifying your account.

Apple TV is not compatible with some Fire TV devices, so it’s also possible you may have an incompatible device.

If you see an error message when you try to deliver the app to your Fire Stick via the Amazon website, or you don’t see the app when you perform a search directly on the Fire Stick, then you may have an incompatible device. Check the Apple TV app compatibility list to see if your device works with the app.
