How to install wako on Firestick?

Install wako on Firestick by enabling Apps from Unknown Sources, downloading the APK from wako.app/download, then installing it via Downloader app or File Manager.

Installing wako on your Amazon Firestick or Fire TV device allows you to enjoy the ultimate movie and TV tracking experience on your big screen. Since wako isn't available on the Amazon Appstore, you'll need to sideload the APK file.
