Install CrowdPics on Your Fire Stick

Transform any TV into an interactive social photo wall in under 5 minutes. No technical skills required.

Before You Start

You need to enable installation from unknown sources on your Fire Stick:

  1. 1
    Go to Settings on your Fire Stick (gear icon)
  2. 2
    Select My Fire TV (or Device on older models)
  3. 3
    Select Developer Options
  4. 4
    Turn on Install Unknown Apps
  5. 5
    Enable it for Downloader (you'll install this next)

Using the Downloader App

Recommended Method

1

Find Downloader in Amazon App Store

On your Fire Stick, navigate to the Search icon (magnifying glass) and type 'Downloader'. Look for the orange Downloader app by AFTVnews - it's the most popular sideloading tool.

Open and Enjoy

Ready to Download?

Enter this URL in the Downloader app on your Fire Stick:

crowdpics.ai/tv

Or download directly to your computer:

Download CrowdPics APK

Alternative: Using Silk Browser

If you prefer not to install the Downloader app, you can use the built-in Silk Browser.

  1. 1
    Open Silk Browser from your Fire Stick apps (search for it if needed)
  2. 2
    Navigate to crowdpics.ai/tv using the on-screen keyboard
  3. 3
    The APK download will start automatically
  4. 4
    Open the downloaded file and follow the prompts to install

Using Silk Browser requires more typing with the remote, which is why we recommend the Downloader app method.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to fix them

On newer Fire Stick models, Developer Options is hidden by default. Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About, then click on your Fire TV name 7 times rapidly. You'll see a message saying 'You are now a developer'. Developer Options will now appear in the My Fire TV menu.
Make sure you typed the URL correctly: crowdpics.ai/tv (no www or https needed). Also check that your Fire Stick is connected to the internet. Try pressing the Home button and going to Settings > Network to verify your connection.
This is normal for apps installed outside the Amazon App Store. Click 'Install anyway' or 'More details' then 'Install' to proceed. CrowdPics is safe to install - we just can't distribute through the App Store yet.
Try restarting your Fire Stick by holding the Select and Play/Pause buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. After it restarts, find CrowdPics in your Apps & Channels section (hold the Home button and select Apps).
Yes! CrowdPics works on any Android TV device, Android tablet, or Android phone. Use the same download link: crowdpics.ai/tv. The app automatically adapts to your screen size.
Simply repeat the installation process - download the latest version from crowdpics.ai/tv using Downloader and install it. The new version will replace the old one and your settings will be preserved.
