Getting the Spectrum App on Firestick

Before we begin, it’s important to note that as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the Spectrum app isn’t officially available on the Amazon Appstore for Firestick users.

Therefore, it needs to be sideloaded. Follow these steps:

  1. On your Firestick, navigate to ‘Settings,’ then ‘My Fire TV.’
  2. Click on ‘Developer options.’
  3. Turn on ‘Apps from Unknown Sources.’
  4. Go back to the home screen and search for the ‘Downloader’ app in the search bar. Install this app.
  5. Open the ‘Downloader’ app, enter the URL for the Spectrum APK, and then hit ‘Go.’ You can find the URL by searching ‘Spectrum APK for Firestick’ on the web.
  6. The APK will start downloading. Once downloaded, click ‘Install.’
  7. After installation, the Spectrum TV app will appear in your app list.
