How to install apps that are not available in your country on Android, Android TV or Fire TV devices - Filesynced

Some apps may not be available to some users due to Google restricting the available apps on the Google Play Store according to the country the account is registered in. 

Let's say you're in the UK but you want to be able to download and install the Hulu or Max apps which are only available in the US. You have 2 options in this case:

  1. Get yourself an American Google Play account and log in to the Google Play Store with it to see all of the US apps
  2. Side-load the apps to your Android device outside of the Google Play Store.

In this guide, we'll cover the second method and how we make it easier for you to get all the apps you're interested in. 

Android TV devices (Nvidia Shield, Xiaomi Mi Box and all of the various TV Android Boxes) and Fire TV devices 

Step 1

Visit the app store on your device and search for the Downloader app. Download and install it.,  On Fire TV devices specifically - please follow our guide on enabling unknown sources before continuing.
