Amazon Firestick is one of the popular choices to stream media contents on TV over the internet. The inbuilt Amazon app store gives you access to plenty of apps like Netflix, Disney+, Sling TV, Hulu and much more apps.

It gives you access to download nearly 750,000 apps that aren’t available on the Amazon store.
