    The best thing you can do with a Firestick is unlock it with Kodi !-)

    Personally I prefer to use a Chromestick or an Intel Stick PC instead in these discrete PC's. The reason being they are not "locked" to an app market and you can run/dualboot Android on them if you want to use one of their apps.

    You can even run Apple iOS apps on a couple. They are interesting pieces of kit - not a replacement for a full PC though.

    I put Kodi on all my Amazon Fire Sticks. Great for film and Tv. Another good app for it is Mobdro.

    I bought one from Amazon, git someone to put Kodi and other stuff on from eBay. Worked OK for a couple of weeks, then lots of stuff stopped working, Joker's App for one, then kept getting messages that Morobo wouldn't work on Android 4.1 ??? Gave up and removed Kodi etc. Used a lot on second TV, iPlayer, You Tube, Amazon TV excellent. Mind you kids well annoyed I removed the other stuff. For me it's best left as it came.
