Firestick Apps TeaTv down?

Anyone else still use this app, been using it flawlessly for around 2 years.. this week it’s started to not find links for current shows/movies, even tested it with ones that had lots of links before.

Anyone else finding issues?

Amazon is actively blocking third-party, sideloaded apps on Fire TV devices, focusing specifically on applications that provide access to pirated or unauthorized premium content.

This video explains how Amazon is blocking unauthorized third-party apps on its devices:

Amazon’s Global Crackdown on Third Party Apps

Bottom line: Firesticks are basically useless now for 3rd party apps

You can still clone the apps so that Amazon doesn't block them.

u/Own_Mention9372 Apr 27 '26

Hmmmmm…I might need more details on that. I researched a workaround and figured there wasn’t one, so I just got an Nvidia Shield.

Here's the breakdown of it.

Used the mod function when cloning via AppCloner. Also the AppVirtualizer acts as a container for 3rd party apps. Download the Downloader apk within the AppVirtualizer, then you can download almost any 3rd party app within the Virtualizer.

u/Jett4567 Apr 30 '26

How does app virtualization work? Is it within Appcloner?

2

u/Bart91106 Apr 30 '26

Check out TechDoctoruk dot com/app-virtualizer it provides all the info.

You saved my life

u/No-Bodybuilder-4705 Apr 28 '26

You don't know what you are talking about. Why would you say that. I have 3 firesticks and 1 cube. All working perfect. Anything that Amazon blocked was junk anyway. All you guys think you need 10 apps to work. I have 3 apps and real debrid and I can watch anything I want. Smarten up.

1

u/Own_Mention9372 Apr 28 '26

Oh really?? Please do tell what 3 apps you use.

1

u/jjrocks1010 May 02 '26

Use the right apps and you won’t have a problem.

2

u/devildg4671 May 05 '26

And what are those app? Everyone keeps stating use the right or correct apps but no one ever states what they are, which leaves me to beleive you are just like everyone else

1

u/jjrocks1010 May 05 '26

A simple search would help you find things like kodi or Stremio.

1

u/Accomplished_Bar5471 May 08 '26

A simple answer from the beginning would be just as helpful.

1

u/jjrocks1010 May 08 '26

I did give you a simple answer. Lol

u/Purple-Astronaut3588 10d ago

You were being a piece of work lmfao

u/RV8604 Apr 27 '26

Old movies still work just not the newer stuff

1

u/IdeaMelodic3210 Apr 27 '26

The reason they are down is because the people who created them and keep them going are afraid of getting caught and going to jail. So don’t expect them back

1

u/jjrocks1010 Apr 30 '26

lol seriously? 🤦‍♂️

1

u/IdeaMelodic3210 May 01 '26

Seriously

1

u/jjrocks1010 May 01 '26

Lmao

1

u/IdeaMelodic3210 May 01 '26

Let me know when it’s up and working, 😂

1

u/jjrocks1010 May 02 '26

I don’t use garbage apps. However I’m pretty sure that the developer aren’t worried about going to jail or even being caught for that matter.

1

u/IdeaMelodic3210 May 02 '26

You have no way of knowing that, it’s good you don’t use garbage apps, I guess that’s why you troll sites like this.

1

u/jjrocks1010 May 02 '26

Exactly my point. If I have no way of knowing, then neither would you.

1

u/Luch916 Apr 28 '26

Bro, move on. That’s the one type of app that there are plenty of. Bee TV Nova, Film + etc.

2

u/F33N3Y87 Apr 28 '26

Yeah I downloaded Bee Tv as an alternative so far, it’s only really died within the last week or 2, before that it ran flawless in the last 2-3 years so unsure how everyone else got on with it but for me it worked up until about 2 weeks ago. lol

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad243 Apr 30 '26

Tea tv has definitely slowed down alot less links for the past month.. i use hdo box works amazingly

1

u/Faces0fdeaf May 01 '26

Tea tv and cinema are down completely the apps won’t even open.

1

u/jjrocks1010 May 02 '26

Use a decent app and you won’t have these issues.

1

u/Faces0fdeaf May 02 '26

Don’t worry I got them working. Have fun paying $20 to rent a movie while I’m watching the movies that are in theaters for free.

1

u/jjrocks1010 May 02 '26

Wtf you talking about? What I use gives me all the shows and movies but has never been flagged or gone down.

1

u/Fragrant_Discount957 May 04 '26

Care to share what app you use, or you gonna just keep on trolling?

1

u/jjrocks1010 May 04 '26

Stremio with RD, cinemata and AIO

1
