Many of you have asked for this for a while and now it’s here. My Downloader app is now available in the Google Play Store for Android TV devices. It took much more work than I originally expected to make the app work on Android TV and get accepted into the Android TV appstore. This is mostly because Google would not accept the app for Android TV if it had a built-in web browser, which is pretty ridiculous because there are already approved browsers for Android TV in the Google Play Store. I was unfortunately forced to disable the browser in the app to get it accepted, but it is finally available for the NVIDIA Sheild TV, Mi Box, Nexus Player, and all other Android TV devices.

For some reason, the app does not come up if you search for “downloader” within the Google Play Store on an Android TV device. Hopefully, this will be corrected soon, but for now, you should search for “aftvnews” to find the app.
Just like with the Fire TV version, Downloader for Android TV is 100% free without any ads. If you appreciate it being made available for Android TV, please consider donating towards its continued development through the in-app donation buttons on the app’s home screen. Due to Google requiring the removal of the built-in browser, which is actually more integral to the app than you may think, it cost me a lot more than I expected to pay my developer to port the app. I want to continue supporting and improving the app for Android TV, but I’m only able to do so if donations cover the app’s development costs. Whether you have the means to donate or not, a positive review would be greatly appreciated.

JoeBsays:August 24, 2017 at 1:27 pmMay be offer apk download version for Android TV which has the Browser feature turned On and can be sideloaded on the Android TV device
AFTVnewssays:August 24, 2017 at 1:43 pmI’m working on a solution that will hopefully be better than just sideloading a different version. Stay tuned.
RobertoLsays:August 24, 2017 at 2:03 pmCongratulations, is sad they won’t allow the browser but is better than nothing.
Neville Henrysays:August 24, 2017 at 3:10 pmI hope you are charging for it, at least a dollar. You don’t have to win at the lottery in order to become a millionaire. You deserve to get paid for your work and creativity. I know I appreciate your program. Thanks!
AFTVnewssays:August 24, 2017 at 5:33 pm No, it’s completely free. I know, I’m dumb.
BigUNZsays:August 25, 2017 at 6:20 amI’ll give you $1.00 for admitting it :)
Danielsays:October 24, 2017 at 8:52 pmCan you make a version for android devices
sandiisays:August 24, 2017 at 6:21 pmI think your app is the best thing since sliced bread. Makes using a fire stick so much easier and it’s great I can now use it on my shield.
Kawshik Ahmedsays:August 24, 2017 at 8:39 pmMaybe you guys need to talk with some Google Play representative to allow the full ‘Downloader’ app on Play Store.
THe ‘Puffin TV Browser’ wasn’t initially allowed also which has full web browser with FLash support, but they were later able to made in accepted.
Thanks for all your hard work
AFTVnewssays:August 25, 2017 at 7:16 amYou’re welcome! A bigger thanks to you and everyone else who enjoys my work.
mark maynardsays:August 25, 2017 at 2:10 amCan’t find it in the playstore typed aftvnews nothing
AFTVnewssays:August 25, 2017 at 7:17 amWhich device are you using? It’s only available for Android TV devices for now.
mark maynardsays:August 25, 2017 at 7:57 amI have x96 Android box typed in aftvnews nothing
Kawshik Ahmedsays:August 25, 2017 at 9:46 amDownload Google Play For Android
There is no Android TV OS box named x86. The only ‘official’ Boxes that are running Android TV OS is Nvidia SHIELD, Razer Forge, Nexus Player, Mi Box. (There are many Cable Box running ATV OS aswell)
Any other box that says Android TV in the package is running ‘Tablet Android’ no ‘Android TV OS’. They are doing false marketing.

September 12, 2018 at 1:15 amwhat was the solution? i have an x96 and im unable to fine downloader?
Masterblastersays:August 25, 2017 at 5:19 amLooks like Google pulled it from the store…
AFTVnewssays:August 25, 2017 at 7:19 amI just searched on an NVIDIA Shield and it came up. When I search “aftvnews” it’s the only app that comes up. When I search “downloader” it is now coming up as literally the last app on the long list of results.
What device are you using?
REDZMANsays:August 25, 2017 at 5:59 amWhat you should do is put up a donate and a paid version of this. I would gladly pay for it to support you. Either that or put up a version with ads and a option to purchase to remove the ads.
AFTVnewssays:August 25, 2017 at 7:22 amThe app has donation buttons on the home page. So far, the donations the Fire TV version has received have been enough to pay for the app’s development. If the Android TV version doesn’t bring in enough donations to cover development, I’ll probably experiment with ads or a paid version instead of abandoning the app. Hopefully, I won’t have to do that.
REDZMANsays:August 25, 2017 at 7:47 amI didn’t even see the donation part as I am at work and haven’t installed it yet. Bravo my man. I’d love to see more Android TV stuff on your site, I found it when I used a Fire TV but moved up to the Nvidia Shield Pro to have a fuller experience. I still follow you and read your posts though because they are so well done. Thanks for the great information
Danielsays:October 24, 2017 at 9:05 pmI would like to download it on my android tablet. This version isn’t compatible.
Charliesays:August 25, 2017 at 12:10 pmI installed on a Nexus Player and attempted to go to a webpage, but got a disabled message.
Charliesays:August 25, 2017 at 12:40 pmOK. I finally read your post enough times to realize you were forced to disable the browser. I guess it’s bitly links to install Kodi, for example, at least for now.
gaylesays:August 25, 2017 at 4:25 pmWow I am a beginner with a Kodi and I really do not understand any of this. I also have a samsung tv that is not android. Any suggestions. I really am trying to educate myself but sure do get lost in the tech talk
Paul Dsays:August 26, 2017 at 7:33 amHope we can eventually get this for non-Android TV boxes. I have a Q Box which runs a tablet Android 6. This app would be useful for that.
Thanks to AFTV for your continued work on this and this site
mykljsays:October 10, 2017 at 3:56 amJust a side note, Downloader works fine for reading an email if needed and the mail site is supported. I and my friends pass emails back and forth that include lists of youtube videos and I thought it would be great to watch these videos on tv read from the email. I pointed the Downloader to gmail but it complained about cookies not enabled. I didn’t know how to fix that but I tried my other web address on road runner. All I had to do was enable java in the Downloader Settings and was able to login fine and read mail. Found all the youtube links and just clicked on them to play on through the fire stick, it worked great.
I updated another issue (I googled: reading an email on Fire Stick), I was working on it located here: https://www.amazon.com/forum/fire/ref=cm_cd_et_up_redir?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx2L8EBNTOXFSA7&cdPage=1&cdThread=Tx2I7CFZ7CC34JN&newContentID=Mx35DY0XGUYSUNN#Mx35DY0XGUYSUNN
Downloaded won’t work on Nvidia Shield…after entering a URL everything comes up as Page or Site Restricted. Checked all my settings, all good. Any ideas ??
Tara McManussays:October 30, 2018 at 10:24 amThanks for all your help.
Nick cordeirosays:December 14, 2018 at 10:26 amFor some reason i cant find it google play app
I can find on google play website but its says not compatible
Eilishsays:December 16, 2018 at 5:02 amIt’s not showing in your devices version of Playstore because as the web version is telling you it’s not compatible with your device..
You don’t mention which device you are using nor which version of software is on it.
If it’s and older device with an old software version that could be the problem.
I’m using a T95zplus Android tv box/Android 7.1.2, and have not been able to do anything about obtaining “downloader by AFTVnews” at all. It does not come up in the search. I can access the apk through my laptop on Google Play though. I’m wondering if I can connect the box to the pc via USB, the way I do it with my smart phone and then install the app.

Google Play Store review
Google Play Store is the center and the home of apps that are specifically designed to work on Android devices. When Android device is first turned on there will be some basic steps needed to be done in order to get it ready for use. One of them is to sign in to Google using a Google Account. That particular account will also activate the so-called Play Store. Without the proper login of Google Account it will not be possible to use this app later on. Be sure to do it when starting Android device for the very first time.
Once the device is ready, it can be started or opened to browse many apps for Android. The use of this app is pretty easy since there are specific tabs designed and prepared by Google to deal with that matter. Those apps that are pretty popular are grouped in the most popular tab so that it can be easy to find them immediately. Meanwhile, there is also a specific tab for those most downloaded apps. In short, it will be pretty easy to find any kind of apps there once entering the interface of this app.
A good thing is that the apps are pretty much in a fair comparison of those that are free and those that required payment just to download them. There are also some apps that are free to download with purchase and payment option to get more out of it one it has been installed and tried. Some of the apps are also available as trials so that within a specific period of time the official license has to be purchased to continue using the apps. Meanwhile, there are also apps with excessive ads in which unlocking pro version or simply ads-free version will make the use of the apps better.
The interface is always getting updates from time to time. Those who have been using Android since the earlier period of Android will understand that the interface have been changed in various forms. The latest appearance is pretty intuitive. It delivers a really comfortable display upon searching the needed and required apps before downloading. Basically, with a very attractive appeal alongside easy to use user interface with its menus and tabs will be very helpful for Android users to find and download the required apps for certain purposes and functions within the devices.
How to Install Google Play Store
Android users normally find Google Play Store in the menu list when they purchase smartphone with this operating system. This build-in application allows the user to install and run another application offered by the store. Unfortunately, for one and another reason, including software damage, the application might not be available anymore. The following step offers an alternative method of installing it using the APK file.
- Prepare the file manager application. This application is normally available on the smartphone by default. However, if for some reasons the application is not available, simply download files explorer application. Go to the download folder on the file manager application. Find the APK file that you just download. The folder is usually located in the internal memory by default. It might go to the external memory if you set it as the default download folder.
- Run the APK file by simply tapping on the file. A popped up warning will show right after the file is tapped. The system tries to warn the users that application from an unknown source is activated. Do not be panicking since you can give permission to activate the APK file by tapping in enable icon. The alternative method to do so is by going to the setting. Select security and enable the unknown source. At this rate, the APK file will start to run.
- You need to wait until the installation is completed. Normally, it does not take long since the Google Play Application only comes in small size. After the installation is completed, you can run the application instantly. Despite the application is installed, it is highly recommended to disable the unknown source installation. It will prevent other unnecessary application to be installed in the background. Go to the setting menu and select the security in order to disable it.
This app requires Google Play Service to work normally. So if your smartphone has not installed Play Service app before, you have to install some of the following supporting apps:
You can download each apps according to Android version you use. So, before downloading those apps, you should pay attention to “Requirement” or “Minimum Android version” in the File Information section that we provide.
How to Update Google Play Store

It authorizes itself to update without your permission. However, there is a flaw that makes this application might not be able to be updated on its own.
