How to Install wako on Fire TV & Android TV
wako runs on Android TV, Google TV, and Amazon Fire TV. On Android TV and Google TV you install it straight from the Google Play Store. Fire TV devices don't have the Play Store and wako isn't on the Amazon Appstore, so you'll sideload the official APK from GitHub. Both methods are covered below.
Option 1 — Install from Google Play Store
- On your Android TV or Google TV, open the Google Play Store
- Search for “wako”
- Select “wako TV” and click Install
- Open wako and sign in with your Trakt or SIMKL account
This is the easiest method and works on all Android TV devices including Nvidia Shield, Chromecast with Google TV, and Sony/Philips smart TVs.
Option 2 — Sideload on Amazon Fire TV
wako isn't on the Amazon Appstore, so on Fire TV you install the official APK from the wako GitHub releases page. It only takes a few minutes with the free Downloader app.
- On your Fire TV, go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer options and turn on Install unknown apps for the Downloader app (on older devices this is Apps from Unknown Sources)
- From the Amazon Appstore, install the free Downloader app and open it
- In Downloader's address bar, enter github.com/wako-app/wako-tv/releases/latest and download app-universal-release.apk (works on every Fire TV CPU)
- When the download finishes, click Install, then Open wako and sign in with your Trakt or SIMKL account
Works on Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Cube, and Fire TV built-in smart TVs. The app does not auto-update when sideloaded — re-download the latest APK from the same page when a new version ships.
Getting Started
Once installed, wako offers a beautiful TV-optimized interface:
