How to Install AnimeDLR on FireStick (Unlimited Anime)

In this article, we will discuss how to install AnimeDLR on FireStick and other Fire TV products, including FireStick 4K, 4K Max, FireStick Lite, and more. We will also explore whether the app is safe to use and briefly look at its features.

What is AnimeDLR?

AnimeDLR is the app you should look for if you are an anime fan and want to explore a massive collection of anime for free. New anime are uploaded frequently, and episodes are constantly updated. Though AnimeDLR doesn’t host any video itself, it links you to multiple sources where you can find your favorite content and stream.

For a better streaming experience, use an external video player like VLC or MX Player.

You will find subbed and dubbed anime. That means you can watch an anime in multiple languages along with subtitles. There is also a download option, after which you can watch the content offline. However, I do not recommend downloading on FireStick as it has low storage.

However, note that you will need the Mouse Toggle app to navigate AnimeDLR, as it is not 100% remote-friendly.

AnimeDLR is now part of our library of featured apps for FireStick.

Attention FireStick Users

Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If you use third-party streaming apps on your Fire TV Stick, you should always use a good FireStick VPN and hide your identity so your movie-viewing experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.

I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Here is why you must use a VPN all the time.

Is AnimeDLR Legal and Safe to Use?

AnimeDLR is a third-party app and, therefore, not 100% reliable. This is the case with every non-official app. Therefore, we cannot conclude that AnimeDLR is totally safe.

However, the results from VirusTotal show no viruses, which is a positive sign. This means there are no viruses or malicious files inside the app. It still can’t be trusted entirely, but at least it won’t malfunction like other third-party apps.

Since AnimeDLR is from an unofficial repository, FireStickTricks cannot verify whether the app is legal or not. Therefore, we cannot determine if it has obtained the licenses to distribute the content. We do not condone copyright violations. However, I recommend using a reliable FireStick VPN, like ExpressVPN, to avoid any legal issues.

How to Install AnimeDLR on FireStick

So, AnimeDLR is not an official app. It is not available on any official app store, so you would have to download its APK file. A third-party app cannot be downloaded directly on FireStick. For this, we need an app called Downloader to sideload APK files on FireStick.

Sideloading, in simple terms, is the installation process for apps that are not available on the Amazon App Store.

Now, without any further ado, let’s go through the installation step by step.
