How to Install Tivimate App On Firestick, Nvidia Shield, ONN Devices or Any Android

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Tivimate is widely considered the best IPTV player for FireStick, Nvidia Shield, ONN, and all Android TV devices. It offers a smooth interface, EPG support, catch-up TV, and multi-playlist management. It's available on the Google Play Store and supports both free and premium plans.
There are 3 ways: (1) Search for it directly in the Google Play Store if available on your device. (2) Download the APK from the official website at tivimate.com. (3) Use the Downloader app and enter code 272483 to fetch the APK automatically. All three methods work on FireStick, Nvidia Shield, and ONN devices.
The official Tivimate short code for the Downloader app is 272483. This is registered directly on the Downloader platform from the Tivimate website. Open the Downloader app, enter this code in the URL bar, hit Go, and it will fetch and install Tivimate automatically.
Go to Settings → My Fire TV → About, then click your device name 7 times to enable developer mode. Go back and open Developer Options → Install Unknown Apps, find your browser or file manager, and toggle it ON. You only need to do this once.
Tivimate has a basic free version, but for the full experience most users go with the paid plans: a Lifetime Plan at ~$33.99 one-time or an Annual Plan at ~$11.99/year. Both cover up to 5 devices. For pricing details, visit the official Tivimate website.
Tivimate is the main IPTV player app you use to watch channels and VOD content on your TV device. Tivimate Companion is a separate helper app installed on your phone — it's used to manage settings and playlists remotely. You do not need Companion to use Tivimate, and you should not confuse the two when searching the Play Store.
No — Tivimate is an Android TV app only. It does not work on Samsung TVs (Tizen OS), LG TVs (WebOS), Apple devices (iOS/tvOS), or standard Android phones and tablets. It is compatible with FireStick, Nvidia Shield, ONN boxes, and any other device running the Android TV operating system.
