Start Fires With Your Fire TV, Wherever You're Standing.

Firestarter is an APK app that allows a user to remotely manage an Amazon Fire TV from a mobile device, usually a phone. With Firestarter, a user can access and launch all of a Fire TV's apps, including those bundled with the TV such as Netflix and Amazon, as well as non-market, "sideloaded" apps.

Flint, tinder and flicks

Firestarter offers as many features as the Fire TV that it's linked to, and it does it all from a completely independent device. You can use it to manage your Fire TV in ways that are possible but sometimes more difficult from the TV itself; it really speeds things up. Setting it up requires work on both ends, though, and more than a dozen steps.

Finish up, and rest by the crackling hearth

Overall, Firestarter is an effective launcher for the Fire TV that can make accessing its features and apps even easier than using the TV itself, and it does it all in the palm of your hand, if you use a typical device to run Firestarter. Although it only works with Fire TV, and getting it to work at first can require some elbow grease, the results are well worth it, both for power users and frequent casual users.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
