How to Install FilmPlus on FireStick & Android TV Box: This guide will walk you through the process of installing FilmPlus on FireStick and Android TV boxes. The steps apply to Fire TV Cube, FireStick 4K, 4K Max, New FireStick 4K, New FireStick 4K Max, and Fire TV 2nd Generation. The instructions also work on Android devices like the NVIDIA Shield, Chromecast, and MECOOL box.

What is FilmPlus?

FilmPlus is a third-party Android application that allows you to stream movies, TV shows, and on-demand content for free. The app doesn’t host content itself. Instead, it provides links to third-party websites that offer the movies and TV shows. FilmPlus supports streaming in HD, FHD, 2K, and even 4K resolution. Additionally, it integrates with premium services like Real Debrid and Premiumize, ensuring access to top-tier streaming links.

The app boasts a clean and intuitive user interface. Important sections like Favorites, Downloads, and Settings are conveniently located within a hamburger menu. You can also filter content by selecting from pre-made categories at the top of the screen. Moreover, FilmPlus lets you sync your watch history and preferences across devices by linking your Trakt TV account.

Is FilmPlus Safe & Legal?

FilmPlus is an unverified APK, meaning it is not available on the Amazon App Store or Google Play Store. As a result, there’s no definitive way to confirm whether it is completely safe for your device.

Some third-party apps may carry risks, such as malware, viruses, or crypto-mining scripts. While we cannot guarantee that FilmPlus is 100% safe, we do our due diligence. For instance, I always scan third-party apps, like FilmPlus, using VirusTotal before installing them. I did the same for the FilmPlus APK and found it to be safe, according to all 67 security vendors on VirusTotal. See the screenshot for proof:

Safety & Legality of FilmPlus

You can safely use FilmPlus to stream non-copyrighted content that is freely available to the public. However, streaming movies or TV shows that are not publicly licensed could lead to potential issues. Although FilmPlus itself doesn’t host content, streaming copyrighted material through the app might put you at legal risk. At firesticktricksapps.com, we advise users to only use FilmPlus for watching content that is in the public domain. For additional security, we recommend using a reputable VPN, like ExpressVPN, to protect your device and data while streaming.

You’ve Successfully Installed FilmPlus on FireStick!

Using the Downloader app, you’ve now installed the FilmPlus APK on your FireStick device.

Your device is ready to stream all your favorite content. But before you start binge-watching, here’s something important you should know: Everything you stream online is visible to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and government agencies. This can put you at legal risk if you accidentally access copyrighted content.

Why You Should Use a VPN Before Streaming

To keep your online activity private and secure, it’s strongly recommended to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network). A VPN hides your real IP address—for example, 2401:4900:8819:8ba7:38ed:fcac:abad:d1a0—and encrypts your traffic, protecting you from surveillance, ISP throttling, and geo-restrictions.

I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, one of the fastest and most secure VPNs for FireStick. It’s easy to set up, works with all major streaming apps, and helps keep your viewing history private. We don’t promote piracy, but since it’s often difficult to distinguish between legitimate and pirated content, a VPN adds an extra layer of protection.

Steps to Install and Use ExpressVPN on FireStick

1. Step 1: Sign up for ExpressVPN here. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee—risk-free trial!
2. Step 2: On your FireStick, go to Find > Search.
3. Step 3: Type ExpressVPN and select the app from the results.
4. Step 4: Click Download to install it.
5. Step 5: Open the app and sign in with your ExpressVPN account credentials.
6. Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a secure server. That’s it—you’re now protected!
