Reddit mentions: The best apps & games

Here's a good starter list. I will also include links to Wil Weaton's Tabletop series in the titles for the games where available, if you'd like to see a very well-produced video of the game actually being played.

Settlers of Catan - This one has probably become more mainstream than most "hobby games", but it's a classic that's stood the test of time. A 3-4 player game of wheeling and dealing with the other players as you try to establish yourself as a civilization on a new island.

Carcassonne - Another classic, this is a 2-5 player "tile laying" game where you place square pieces to line up with other pieces to establish an area of French countryside. You build the board as you go, and then you place your pawns on the board in order to try to gain control of different cities, roads, and monasteries before they are built. If you like playing games like dominoes, or building jigsaw puzzles, this game will appeal to you. It's also available for free on the Amazon App Store right now for all Android devices: http://smile.amazon.com/exozet-games-Carcassonne/dp/B0081SRJSY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406819427&sr=8-1&keywords=carcassonne+android

Ticket to Ride - A 2-5 player game where players collect hands of different-colored cards in order to construct train routes across a map of the USA (although there are many other versions available, including Europe). If you like games like Rummy, this game will appeal to you. There are also Android, iOS, and Steam versions available.

Dominion - A 2-4 player game that started the "deck-building" genre. Players each start off with the same deck of 10 cards, with an available pool of many cards to "buy" set up in the middle of the table. As the game progresses, you purchase these cards to add to your own personal deck, which allow you to build up powerful combos, trying to add the most valuable victory point cards to your deck before other players do and end the game. You only include a small subset of the available cards every game, ensuring that no two games will be the same. If you like CCGs like Magic the Gathering, without the crazy expense of always buying cards, then this game will appeal to you.

The Resistance - A 5-10 player social deduction game. In a dystopian future, a team of rebels band together to try and sabotage critical government installations. However, the government has secretly infiltrated the rebel group with a number of spies. The rebels must work together to try and determine who among them are the spies before it's too late. Lots of accusations, backstabbing, and laughter to be found in this game. If you like social hidden-role games like Mafia and Werewolf, this game will appeal to you.

Coup - A 3-6 player hidden role game set in the same fictional universe as The Resistance. Each player gets two cards, each of which represents an influential government figure who they are exerting influence over, and each of whom has their own special power. However, cards are kept secret, allowing players to bluff about which cards they actually have. You are trying to eliminate the other players' influence before they eliminate yours. Unlike the other games on this list, this game does feature player elimination, but games are short (<15 minutes) so it's not that big of a deal. If you like bluffing games like Poker or "BS", this game will appeal to you.

Pandemic - A 2-4 player cooperative game where all players work together to try to find cures for 4 different diseases before they take over the world. This is a difficult, tense game that will kick your butt over and over again. If you like games with a challenge, but you also don't like competing with other players, this game will appeal to you.

If anybody wants further recommendations, I'd be happy to help. All of these games should be readily available on Amazon.com, many of them can also be found at retailers like Barnes and Noble and Target.

You're welcome, good luck with it. Some more thoughts also --

a - Re. Amazon Music. If Google Play is preventing you from installing Amazon Music, try installing the APK directly from APK Pure or APK Mirror or through the Amazon Appstore (the last option may require you to first install the general Amazon app on your phone).

b - Re. mirroring. You mentioned your phone has a "mirrorshare" button/setting. What happens when you push it? Do you see a (empty) list of devices it can mirror to? Or do you get an error or nothing? (Also, is it labeled as "multi-screen" If so, I assume it should mirror successfully to smart TVs with mirroring and to Chromecast ?)

c - Do you have any smart TVs that support screen mirroring? Your phone may be able to mirror to them, just to test out your phone's capabilities.

d - Microsoft's miracast Wireless Display Adapter gets a lot of love for easy screen mirroring. So if you have to choose between Chromecast and Microsoft's stick, Microsoft's may be a better fit for you.

I actually bought mostly PC ports (Bejeweled 2 is free right now! And I kinda like fussing around on my tablet playing Plants vs Zombies, even though I have the PC version too).

But of the non-ports, I recommend: The Room, and the Room 2. Gorgeous and incredibly well-designed puzzle games. Amazon only has the kindle versions but if you're not against spending money on Google play instead of using coins, you can get non-kindle versions there. If you install Google Opinion Rewards, that's a decent way to get some spare change in your google play account in exchange for answering a few questions.

I also really enjoyed The Bard's Tale. I was a bit skeptical of playing an RPG on a tablet, but it worked out quite well.

Ok, just got home and did a little searching.

I guess first of all, what are you rooting for? Do you just want to install the google apps so you have access to the Play marketplace or are you trying to install a new ROM? I know everyone has to start somewhere to learn, but maybe you should experiment with rooting a different device that is easier to recover from errors in case you run into problems. Kindles are not exactly easy to fix if you hit a snag.

Anyway, I have no experience with installing a different ROM on my Kindle. I've custom ROMed all my phones, but the HDX is a bit of a special case, so I didn't want to go in too deep yet. I rooted so I could have access to Google Play and replace Silk with Chrome. If that is all you are looking for, it's pretty easy to root and install HDXPosed and the Google Services, but using the HDX Toolkit to disable OTA updates is a little tricky.

Anyway, start with downloading ES File Explorer. You will need it installed to be able to install the Towelroot APK.

Go here for information about Towelroot, then go here for HDXPosed and links to the Google Services once you have sucessfully rooted with Towelroot.

Once you have HDXPosed installed and the Google Services running, you can use the HDX Toolkit to disable OTA updates so your Kindle won't automatically update and (best case) lose root or (worst case) brick itself. HDXPosed is supposed to disable OTA updates, but I've heard it doesn't work properly and I didn't want to take any chances.

You can always reverse the process (make sure Wifi is turned off and no cell service) and uninstall everything and re-enable OTA updates if you need to update for some reason later. I know the HDX Toolkit is supposed to be able to root your Kindle as well, but I found that using Towelroot is much easier.

If you are looking for information about installing custom ROMs, then go here for Safestrap and good luck!

Aw shucks is correct. The app u/instantbitsapps made called web video cast is excellent. I'd love to see it on iOS. Very active Dev updates the app frequently.

iOS options:

Or AirPlay to this app (it will not do DRM protected content):
http://www.amazon.com/x5434-x6C5D-AirPlay-DLNA-Receiver/dp/B00LAT7QV6

Kind of... Not sure if the Fire Stick has any different capabilities than the Fire TV but yes I did get it working but the results were kind of laggy. Now granted I was trying to watch my friend play WoW on his TV so maybe it was a graphics card issue or something but it's worth a try I suppose.

I used this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L5HQRGS/ref=pd_aw_sims_2?pi=AC_SX230_QL60

And this:
http://www.airsquirrels.com/airparrot/

Just install Air Receiver on the Fire Stick and Air Parrot on your PC.

To give everyone a rundown on how to do this.

1. As FFBE is linked to FB, not any payment platform, you can utilize as many eligible accounts for this discount and use all the coins on the same FFBE account.
   
   
2. As Lapis is not transferable between payment platform, your current Lapis purchased and received while on Google Play/Apple Store will not be accessible from the FFBE installed through Amazon Underground. It's best to do this on a different device or PC emulator like Memu, if you plan on going back to previous platform.
   
   
3. Neither the Coin purchase nor the Lapis Bundle purchase are taxed. (for me anyway, living in Illinois, US)
   edit: it seems the lapis purchase can be taxed, though there may be some factors to avoid it
    
   
   To get things started, make sure you have an eligible Amazon Account, as you have to have made a purchase with a US billing address prior to 11/7.
   
   After you've found an eligible Amazon Account, you'd have to install Amazon Underground App and then 'purchase' (with $0) and install FFBE through this Amazon App. This also requires your device to be free of FFBE install.
   
   After you've installed and able to fire up FFBE, making sure you're logged into the correct Amazon Account, buy the Amazon Coin, and wait for them to show up. It took me an hour or two for it to show up, waiting time may vary due to fraud concern. (If the purchase goes through but you're being charged $0, contact support as it happened to me and they had to make sure it wasn't a fraudulent purchase)
   
   If you plan on doing this on multiple Amazon Accounts, simply log out on Amazon, switch user and purchase FFBE with $0 and the Amazon Coin offer. You do not have to reinstall, simply access the game from desktop and you can access your coin on a different Amazon Account.

• 1. probably, but way too complicated to do it this way and nobody really has put that much effort into making an app to do all. If you find a way, good luck.
     
• 2. see number 1
     
• 3. see number 1
     
• 4. if it all was possible, then you would use this program to make things happen. Also try Downloader. Its much easier to navigate.
     
• 5. depends on your connection, the add-on you use and/or the health of the stream. Yes, subtitles can be downloaded from the stream. I think it still depends on the add-on you are using to stream tho.

I'm not sure where you found firedl but I've never seen it mentioned anywhere I always see apps2fire mentioned on the ftv sub. Give that a try it's probably a better option. You could also try the downloader app for your ftv, it's made by the AFTVnews guys and seems to work pretty well.

*Edit: You also have to turn on ADB in your settings on the FTV as well.

Don't play guitar and haven't looked at the app, but if you have an android, Amazon's free app of the day is a (normally) $7.99 app called "ultimate guitar tabs and tools." Reviews seem pretty good.

When I saw the title I thought you were referring to the mobile game, http://www.amazon.com/inXile-entertainment-The-Bards-Tale/dp/B008S3EJSU (can't say how good it is but it has good reviews).

My friend and I were talking about the Bard class recently actually. I thought it was sad that their role of a support mage was turned into other classes like Mystic (TERA). I recently rolled a bard in D&D and it was a lot of fun, and there are ways to spec an offensively oriented bard...would be interesting to see an MMO try it again.

> Support AirMirror. The best screen cast performance on Android. Fully support IOS12 and the latest Youtube video.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L5HQRGS/

I don't have it or use it but am basing it off this review

> I installed this on older models of the Fire Stick and it worked very well with easy installation and operation. Then I installed it on a Fire Stick 4K and it failed to work and locked up my phone. I emailed the developer and got a return email within 3 minutes. They responded: "Please change to 1920X1080 and use TextureView in AirReceiver advanced setting. This setting works best on firetvstick 4K." I did that and restarted the Fire Stick and my iPhone and all worked very well.

Too expensive. 10 freakin' dollars? Terraria is a great game. I own it on PC, PS3, and Kindle. But 10 dollars (normally $20???) for the 3ds e-version is exact reason I detest my 3ds. First the e-store is crap. You can't install on multiple devices. You have to prove you uninstall it before you can move it. When things go on sale it's still overpriced (IMO).

You can buy it on Amazon now for $5 and play it on either your phone or kindle depending on which one you're in the mood to play. You can even get it for FREE on google play.

https://www.amazon.com/505-Games-Terraria/dp/B00G6ZTM3Y

I don't know that you can. Don't see it on either Android or Kindle. Searched help and found this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201614430

You can listen to Prime Stations from your music library on the Amazon website and Amazon Music for PC & Mac. Just open the Prime Music tab and select Prime Stations. Pick a genre and select a station to start continuously streaming Prime songs from that category.

Nothing about the app. Yep, won't work. Amazon Music Player requires full Flash. Tried both Chrome and Dolphin browsers on my Kindle, both times got a flash popup. Clicked on it, sent me to Adobe and it said device not compatible. You can choose the station, the player looks like it is there, but where the song should be it says "No songs playing"

I thought maybe you can add the station to your Prime Music from the computer, but all I can see is adding individual songs to your library.

OK, as an option, find a playlist you like. If you add the playlist to your library, you can access that through the app. Prime Playlists are under any playlists you have created. At least on Kindle, don't see it on my older Android phone. I may not have the most current app there though, need to check.

There is a newer app: http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Music-with-Prime/dp/B004FRX0MY/

Don't see anything about stations, but I can't install it to check.

If you are a fan of RPGs and humor, I can't suggest The Bard's Tale highly enough. It's a full up game with rather wonderful graphics, absolutely filled with RPG tropes and "5th wall" moments between the main character and the narrator. I'm about halfway through the game, and I think this is the most interested I've ever been in a game on android. I get excited every time I have a spare few minutes to put into the story.

http://www.amazon.com/inXile-entertainment-The-Bards-Tale/dp/B008S3EJSU

I think you're thinking of Perfect Viewer. (There's a free version on the Google Play store)

Amazon App Store

Google Play

Google Play Donate Version

> Amazon App Store Plex is now free

Nope... :(


Regardless, I've already paid for the app on Google Play and I absolutely love Plex.

Terraria is currently FREE (December 24, 2014) on Amazon app store, so maybe you could download that for free, pay for Minecraft PE, and then make up your mind which is better.

http://www.amazon.com/505-Games-Terraria/dp/B00G6ZTM3Y

I didn't receive the Minecraft Coins that I purchased. What should I do?

If you purchased on your Windows 10 device:

1. Sign in at account.microsoft.com and check your recent purchases.
   
2. If you see a completed purchase, restart your device as it may need to be updated.
   
3. If you have another Windows 10 or Pocket Edition device, sign in on that device to see if your purchase appears there.
   
   

• If the purchase appears, there may be a problem on your device. Make sure that you’re signed in with the same account used to complete the purchase.
  
• If the purchase doesn’t appear, contact Xbox Support.
  
  Additional support:
  
  
• If you purchased from Apple Store (iPhone or iPad), go to the iTunes Store.
  
• If you purchased from Google Play Store (Android), go to the Google Play Store.
  
• If you purchased from Kindle Fire or Kindle Fire TV, go to the Amazon Store.

VPNs don't really work on the Play Store afaik. It might be easier getting it from the Amazon app store instead.

https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-com-Amazon-Music-Android/dp/B004FRX0MY

I used to use it with Tunnelbear and it worked fine. Just make sure your VPN and Amazon account are set to the same country.

Also free on...

It's free everywhere. :)

You might want to know that with this $5 app on our Fire TV 2 AirPlay/DLNA Receiver (PRO) we can Airplay with little to no problems. Sometimes I need to restart the APP, but that's about it. Regardless of low score reviews, we've had great success casting from iPhones and iPads, Macbooks, they all work just fine.

There is no built-in AirPlay, but there are several apps that add the functionality. The one I use is AirReceiver for $2.99 ($1.19 w/coins). It works great. Even supports display mirroring and OS X mirroring from a mac.

im pretty sure this app supports chrome cast type mirroring. i bought got it for the airplay compatibility and it works great. i’ll check the settings to be sure but if you look in the description is says it supports google too

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L5HQRGS/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1509930383&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=airplay&dpPl=1&dpID=41hC6epDMoL&ref=plSrch

Before throwing down a ton of money, it might be worth testing Gamestream on your Fire TV with Moonlight: https://www.amazon.com/Cameron-Gutman-Moonlight-Game-Streaming/dp/B00JK4MFN2

In my experience, using the NVIDIA server works better than the Steam server, regardless of the client using it. Since Moonlight is free, it's certainly worth at least a test.

This is the best solution. http://www.amazon.com/x5434-x6C5D-AirPlay-DLNA-Receiver/dp/B00LAT7QV6
But I run into den issues with some apps like YouTube

The main reason: it has a menu system and a remote; no phone, tablet, or computer needed. Real access to Amazon Instant. Also gets you access to lots of compatible Android apps in the Amazon store; one of the more useful apps to me is one that enables AirPlay for my Apple devices.

Also, better hardware: dual-band wifi (instead of single), dual core cpu (instead of single), twice the ram, four times the local storage. Also supports Miracast.

Best Buy and Staples are selling them in-store for $25.

Don't know if it is the best but 'Perfect Viewer' work for both file types.

https://www.amazon.com/RookieStudio-Perfect-Viewer/dp/B005XN0SGU

Sorry for the people who linked to the Google Play Store and posted things that aren't even on Amazon App Store. They didn't read your post, it seems. I would recommend Terraria for sure. Wayward Souls is a pretty solid choice too. I couldn't recommend Monument Valley, I've never played it.

How to use it outside the US:

1. Install Amazon App Store
   
   
2. Uninstall the old Amazon App from Google Play
   
   
3. Install the updated Amazon App and the Instant Video App from the Amazon App Store
   
   
4. Done :)
   
   Using it in Germany right now.

ComiXology is what i have on my kindle, you can buy some main stream comics off of it. Was reading Invincible for a long time on my iphone, and i love reading it on my kindle. Don't have to zoom in and read panel by panel anymore.

Terraria is pretty great on mobile if you can get it.

In order to airplay you'll need an app like this.

I use a program called Splashtop to mirror from my windows pc to the FTV.

But you could also sideload a browser like Firefox along with Adobe Flash player and play videos straight from the FTV.

There is no real high end gaming, but there are a couple decent ones. Minecraft Pocket Edition and Terraria would be my main two recommendations. Beach Buggy Racing isn't too bad if you're looking for a Mario Kart knock off. There are ways to stream games from other devices as people have mentioned or you can even install emulator to run classic games. Can't discuss how to go about getting ROMS, but you can look that up. The emulators are probably the best source of gaming you can get on the FireTV. Just don't expect this to be a real replacement to an actual console.

Here's the list from the Amazon.com app store! Hope some of you find it useful :)

This app is compatible with the Kindle Fire. Not compatible with phones i guess.

Go get them! :D If you find any error here, feel free to send me a PM.

You can still purchase through amazon app store. D-touch was pulled from the Play Store with little to no explanation from Google. Belokos ports are amazing!! Definitely grab this if your looking for a portable Doom experience!!

http://www.amazon.com/Beloko-Games-D-Touch-Port-Doom/dp/B00ZV118YK

I've used this app with very good success, sending AirPlay video from my Mac or iOS devices, to my FireTV:

https://www.amazon.com/x5434-x6C5D-AirPlay-DLNA-Receiver/dp/B00LAT7QV6

Yes, but it's not available through the Play Store. You need to download it through the Amazon App Store. Amazon Prime Video by Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N28818A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_udp_apa_Xo-RybXSVCB8V

D-Touch is currently your best bet, it supports chocolate doom, some version of prboom, and an old version of GZDoom.

Someone was working on a port to support newer versions, but I don't think he's made much progress (at least publicly).

Sorry in advance that this isn't really answering your question but, I tried a handful of them and all of the controls were too poor to use. Could barely get through E1M1 on UV.

It's $2.85 on Amazon, but D-Touch is seriously the best option and not in a "It's sucks less than the others" kinda way either. The controls are configured specifically for touch screens and they're highly configurable, and there's also support for gamepads. Not only that but it comes with PrBoom, Chocolate and GZDoom, and the GZDoom part is good enough to run most mods you throw at it provided your device is powerful enough--even Brutal Doom if you're into that.

The controls work like there's invisible joysticks on each lower corner of the screen, with the left side being for movement and the right being for aiming. There's a fire and use button on the right side, on the top edge of the aiming zone. Tapping the fire button and sliding your thumb around will continue firing.

I seriously recommend just forking over the 3 bucks for it like I did because it's seriously worth it, but I'm sure we'll all look the other way if you want to obtain it via other means.

No idea on the memory capacity. I don't see it on your Amazon links so you'll probably have to check the manuals/guides on each manufacturer's website.

Sideloading APKs is easy. If you're somewhat tech savvy the entire process takes 10-15 minutes.

You'll need the direct URL of the APK you want to install (eg www.whatever.com/app.apk) and the Downloader app and the VLC app from the Amazon App store on your TV. The Downloader app handles both the download and installation processes for you.

• Launch the Amazon app store on your TV.
  
• Search for and install the Downloader and VLC app.
  
• Launch the Downloader app, type in your APK's URL and download it.
  
• Navigate to the download location.
  
• Select and install your APK.
  
• Launch your app and when you find the TV episode or movie link you want to stream, play with VLC.
  
  Edit: Formatting.

I use this for airplay on my iPad and iPhone. I have never had any issues with it. I see a lot of reviews saying it doesn't work but no specifics. I recommend it especially for the $2 they want now, I paid $5 and still think it is worth every penny.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LAT7QV6/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

Just glancing, but it looks like there's some integration of it and that the app is free (maybe just for me since I own it already). I guess it works like Roku and you set it up then download the plex app onto the device? Then you could access the remote PC from there.

We're using whatever is being hosted on the Amazon App Store. The version number on the main menu reports as: 0.16.2. With respect to Classic v. Pocket, I wasn't aware there were multiple flavors of Minecraft for Android. By Classic, do you mean the PC version?

Here's a direct link to the MCPE version at the Amazon App Store that we're using: Link to Amazon App Store

UPDATE On the App Store page, the version is displayed as "0.16.2.2"

It's not the Chromecast but if you have a Firestick just buy this app for $3 directly off the amazon store it works fucking nice. app link! I'm mirroring my iPhone 6 ios 9.3.3 currently and it works without an issue.

Yeah you should be able to find it there. If not here's a link for it on Amazon. Unfortunately it isn't a free app but it's the best one you can find for viewing CBZ comic files in my opinion.

Since you guys are talking about deal.

There's a deal running on Amazon FFBE right now, Save up to 25% on this app and its in-app items when you purchase Amazon Coins. Amazon FFBE Link This is for US. Also I did some digging, and last year Amazon had a big sales on their app store from Dec 24th to 26th.

I could be very wrong but I don't think there is a difference between the two stores....?

Under amazon link: "What's new in version 3.6.3.269" Link

Under google play link: "Fixes (v3.6.2)" Link

From their notes it looks like amazon has the newer version but I would assume you can update either of them once in the downloaded app? Now I'm confused.

There's a pretty neat app available for the Fire for reading comics. It pans from frame to frame, rather than trying to show a whole page at a time (though you can do that too if you want). I think it works really well.

I moved files back and forth lots of times using ES Explorer. Open the app on both your phone and your stick, select the file on your stick and choose the "send" option, which will pull up all other devices on your LAN with the app open and let you select which device to send the file to. It's pretty easy.

I got Airplay running on my Amazon FireTV (costs $100) perfectly using the $3.00 AirReceiver app (http://www.amazon.com/x9F99-x65B9-x513F-AirReceiver/dp/B00L5HQRGS). Also the FireTV comes with an app for Netflix, and I have installed XBMC as the main launcher.

While not relevant to the AppleTV, I have a suggestion for those with Android set top boxes looking for Airplay solutions.

This app has worked flawlessly on my FireTV for two years now as an Airplay receiver. It works exactly like an AppleTV does as far as Airplay in concerned with all features supported (Audio, Video, Screen Mirroring, Extended Display).

There may be free options now that work just as well, but back when I first bought this app it was said to be the go-to for anyone looking into this functionality. Can't vouch for anything else.

Get FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS from the Amazon Appstore. Check it out - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KUHETFY/ref=apps_sf_sta

Hardmode coming soon, according to: http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Mobile_Version_History

According to the description:
> ON SALE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER $1.99 (60% off $4.99). LIMITED TIME ONLY!

though I think there have been deals on the Amazon Appstore version in the past.

I still favor mouse and keyboard, but the amount of content (especially for a mobile game) is fairly impressive.

It varies from like 5-25% off. You have to download the Amazon Underground App and install FFBE through that and then buy your Amazon coins through the Amazon website which you can then exchange for lapis (the deals are actually on the coins themselves).

I tried doing this by side-loading Chrome remote desktop but apparently FireTV doesn't allow anything that uses a Google account which is kind of shitty.

I'd suggest trying to side-load Splashtop on it, it's my second choice for high quality real-time streaming. I've not tried this but I'd guess it would work well.

I have used Limelight to stream games onto it which works AMAZINGLY well. But, that requires a semi-modern Nvidia GPU in the computer. If you can do this you can probably launch steam in big picture mode and use the browser in it.

Other than that Chromecast allows a quick and easy brodcast from a desktop computer's browser tab or desktop. There may be an app somewhere that emulates a chromecast.

Also, you can side-load Chrome and just use the browser on the TV to access whatever you're looking for. You can do this without rooting your device. If you need help side-loading apps let me know and I'll give some links.

AirReceiver works pretty nice an is available directly from the FireTV Amazon Store, if you have AirParrot on your computer then you can mirror your whole screen on the FireTV and also mirror your iOS device, on the other hand if you sideload XBMC you could use AirPlay too but without the mirroring feature.

Are you sure? Seems more something like this https://www.amazon.com/AFTVnews-com-Downloader/dp/B01N0BP507/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Downloader&qid=1555890040&s=gateway&sr=8-1 I believe it is an app to download Jellyfin not the Jellyfin app itself.

Yes, Yes you can.

EDIT: it's available in the google marketplace, I don't know about IOS

EDITEDIT: I should clarify. You need to install the chromecast Application to your phone, which gives your phone the option to cast to your Chromecast device on the same network.

If you follow the app on Amazon appstore, you can see that there's a 20% discount for in-app purchases going on now. I'll test it out later, but if this is true, then this discount is also applied to bundles, which will be such sweet stuff.

The deal is mentioned in the product description of the Plex app on the Amazon app store.

> ... (annual Plex Pass on sale in-app TODAY ONLY through the Amazon app store for 50% off: $19.99 USD, normally $39.99! - tablets only) ...

> After the first year, the price of an annual Plex Pass will revert to the regular annual price, currently $39.99. Prices may vary in other currencies.

Note: You must install the Plex app from the Amazon app store to get this deal. You cannot install the app from the Google Play store. The deal is for the annual Plex Pass subscription only, and not available for the monthly or lifetime subscription.

I'm not sure about the tablets only. Someone please confirm. Thanks. Edit: Confirmed working with phones and Fire TV.

I'd like to give you some alternate advice on the Kindle Fire. Unless you plan on rooting it to have default android, the Comixology app is your best bet for getting comics on it.

I use AirParrot on my PC and then an AirPlay-compatible app on Fire TV (I use this one and like it best of all the options on the AppStore).

It is free here on the amazon appstore!

Understandable. Keep an eye on it on Amazon, I've seen it go on sale and drop to your target price range, and for a day back in November, it was free. It's very popular, and will likely see more sales.

I had a similar issue, tried underground but that didn't work. so I looked around and find the link for it. Just go download it
https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Music-with-Prime/dp/B004FRX0MY

This should work.

So you want to copy the files to the local storage on the Firetv over the network?

You can do this with ES File Explorer.

You will have to share the files over the network though. That is the only way to... share files over the network.

If you have a 6xx series Nvidia card, I'd recommend giving Limelight a shot: http://www.amazon.com/Cameron-Gutman-Limelight-Game-Streaming/dp/B00JK4MFN2/

Just add Steam to your Nvidia GeForce Experience game list, and you'll be able to stream via Big Picture Mode.

I Found this http://thepiratebay.se/search/batman%20long%20halloween/0/99/0
there are three different torrents here, but they are probably .cbr format. I would just download a .cbr reader for your fire. I use comicat on mine www.amazon.com/Meanlabs-Software-ComiCat/dp/B004UBB1HQ it works pretty well.

Have you tried this one? It works flawless with iOS 10.

So...how do I take advantage of the Amazon Store's coins to lapis offers, if possible at all? Am I doomed because I started playing FFBE through Google Play? Or can I uninstall FFBE through Google Play and reinstall my game via Amazon, and continue with my existing data by logging in with Facebook?

It does not just search airplay on the firestick and that app allows you to airplay it’s like 3 bucks it works well. airplay

Thanks /r/mecrob I should've caught that ish

Here it is.

I notice it's quite buried when searching for some reason. Make sure you have updated your Amazon app too

Are you talking about this: https://www.amazon.com/505-Games-Terraria/dp/B00G6ZTM3Y ?

If so, I'm fairly certain that thing is considered "Old Gen" as well. (Also it's Amazon Fire TV, not prime. Just to avoid future confusion)

I have the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, so I can't speak to the size of the 7". That said I use ComiCat for my cbr files (and my Pathfinder PDFs too :)). It's a great interface for reading comics.

It's on the amazon app store. https://www.amazon.com/Sega-of-America-Sonic-CD/dp/B008K9UZY4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1503171338&sr=8-2&keywords=sonic+cd

you need the Amazon app installed to download it though, there is a free version so give that a try. I hate using the amazon app so I just sideload it when I get new devices.

Looks like you can get a new Amazon app thing from www.amazon.com/androidapp

If that isn't working, try: https://www.amazon.com/505-Games-Terraria/dp/B00G6ZTM3Y/

No idea if/when the Amazon version is getting 1.3

Yes there is a video app for android now. http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-com-Prime-Instant-Video/dp/B00N28818A

I had Carcassonne on my Android phone, but it looks like it disappeared after an update. There was certainly an Android version at some point: https://www.amazon.com/exozet-games-Carcassonne/dp/B0081SRJSY

Pretty lame, that you can't get an app you paid for because the company lost the license.

D-Touch is probably the best DOOM engine port (it even supports GZDoom)

It was on Play, and Google pulled it. Not entirely sure why, but I can't even seem to find my older version to download, I should ask for a refund.

Keep an eye on the Amazon App store for Fire TV and Android - right now, for example, the Plex client is free - http://www.amazon.com/Plex-Inc/dp/B004Y1WCDE

The Kindle Fire is terrible at discovering and playing most videos (including MP4s). I'd suggest trying to play it using a file manger app like ES File Explorer or using installing the .APK for VLC to play it.

Probably worth mentioning that Terraria is free for Android devices from the Amazon Appstore today.

What device are you planning on using to stream? If you have capable hardware, you could get a FireTV Stick, load Moonlight, and use the GeForce Experience to stream your desktop.

Dude. I don't know wtf you think you're on about. Go to Amazon and download the Amazon Prime Video app.

If you haven't rooted/installed Android Market, here is a reader from the Amazon Market that I have used successfully on the Fire: ComiCat. While I have rooted mine and installed the Android Market stuff, this app worked before I did all that.

It looks like ifunbox is a file browser, so I'll point you at esfile explorer.

Wrong.

Moonlight streaming works for Nvidia powered PCs provided your device supports Android/iOS and can decode the video.

It may be related to something like this:

https://www.androidpit.com/this-is-why-you-should-not-use-es-file-explorer

Two Amazon-approved apps that I think are essential for FireTV are Downloader and Total Commander.

If you get both, there is little need for ES File Explorer.

Amazon instant video is available for android, its just not on the google play market. Might be a conflict with google or something, but if you download the amazon app store, you can download it here.

http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-com-Prime-Instant-Video/dp/B00N28818A

The same addons work with SPMC, the ones I use anyway. SPMC is designed for Android, and includes extra code/fixes to get the best out of the Fire Stick/TV. SPMC is available here. I don't know the current source for Not Sure. As for setting up, use the app Downloader to download SPMC.

The video app didn't show for me when searching for it in the Google store, neither broadly nor by its specific name. I believe this is it.

Not having that direct link, and having already installed the shopping app, I found the video app by going to a Prime video and clicking the play button. Then the app download prompt came up.

Here's a direct link to the Prime Instant Video App:

http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-com-Prime-Instant-Video/dp/B00N28818A/ref=pd_rhf_eebr_p_img_1

I think it's saying you need the Amazon app installed to use this. You may also need the Amazon App store installed to actually install the app (but I don't think so).

The one folks are referring to is iOS only. Always has been.

Edit: The good app was iOS only. That's the one people are referring to. The Android-only one was not good; that is not what people are referring to. Reviews of that game show it had a very clunky interface, wasn't polished, and had lots of bugs.

iOS: https://carcassonneapp.com

Android: https://www.amazon.com/exozet-games-Carcassonne/dp/B0081SRJSY

Note the completely different design and completely different developers.

Even a shortened URL would need ?tag=MY_REFERRAL_ID appended to it. Nothing fishy going on here.

Plex for android is on sale for $1 on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004Y1WCDE a must have app for Chromecast!

It's still $0.99 on Amazon store.

It is not worth your time wondering about unofficial apps when $0.99 will get you the official app with mainstream support (new features and guaranteed updating). Normally I would want to qualify such a statement with "each to their own", but if you don't got 99 cents you're gonna wanna work on that before your media server.

The Mobile version of the game is released by a different studio (505 Games) which earns no money when it is purchased on PC. The studio probably wouldn't make much off of Terraria sales considering how cheap the PC version goes often and they wouldn't even get a fraction of that money.

The Android version of the game is still free on the Amazon App store for a bit (I'm not sure how long to be specific) if you really aren't interested in paying for the Mobile version.

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00L5HQRGS/ref=mas_ya_dp

I use this app to mirror my phone to my fire stick it works pretty amazingly.

I have a 2012 Kindle Fire. The Comixology app is available in the Amazon market. I've used that to buy/download/read a number of comics on the Fire. I'm not a huge comics guy, so I don't know how up-to-date Comixology is (i.e., do they offer new releases weekly like comic stores do?) You can probably browse comixology.com and get a feel for what they offer when. Additionally, any comics you can buy via Amazon should work natively in the Fire. I have a few I've bought from there (again, older issues).

I also have a few comics in PDF format that I've transferred to the Fire. There's a $3 app called ComiCat that can read PDFs, as well as the other CBR, CBZ, etc. formats. So if you get your digital comics from somewhere else, you should be able to transfer them to the Fire and read them via this app.

Hope that helps some.

Edit: Just noticed you said "free comics and manga". If you get your free books from elsewhere and they're in standard formats (PDF, CBR, CBZ) then you should be able to download them to your computer, then transfer them to the Fire and read them with the app I mentioned above. If you're talking about finding pirated copies of books, I have no idea. Sorry.

Have you tried updating it through the Amazon App store?

https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-com-Amazon-Music-Android/dp/B004FRX0MY

Amazon is showing $2.49 for some reason. It was 1.99 an hour ago.

You can use an Amazon FireTV Stick to stream games using LimeLight.

I found that for me by going to

it showed that Amazon Prime Instant Video was not compatible with any of my devices (I have a 2.3 phone). This is probably why it wasn't enabled in the app.

I meant prime music (sorry for the confusion).

Prime instant video has been available for general android devices for a while, you just need to get it via the Amazon app store (it's not in Google play): http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-com-Prime-Instant-Video/dp/B00N28818A

https://www.amazon.com/SQUARE-ENIX-CO-LTD-FANTASY/dp/B01KUHETFY.
From this link you will first get a prompt to download Amazon App store. Do that and download FFBE from that appstore

Yes there is. I have it on my phone.

https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-com-Amazon-Video/dp/B00N28818A

Not sure how long it's been available, but I've had it for a long time.

Then what does the following line mean:

>LIMITATION: Playing media from your Plex Media Server on the device running this app is limited (one minute for music and video, watermark on photos) until the app is unlocked. TO UNLOCK FULL FUNCTIONALITY: You can remove the playback limitations on the app if you use a Plex Pass enabled account to sign into the app -OR- if you make a small, one-time, in-app purchase of just the Android app itself.

On the Plex app's Amazon description found here:

Ok, after doing a google search, I found this link for AirReceiver https://www.amazon.com/x9F99-x65B9-x513F-AirReceiver/dp/B00L5HQRGS
Note that this is not perfect and doesn't support everything an apple tv supports. If wifi speed is not very good, mirroring doesn't go very smoothly. DRM content such as amazon video or netflix won't work, but these are already supported by fire tv natively. I use it mostly for videos from Safari, or just music playback.
