Ratings and reviews

I absolutely love the Downloader by AFTVnews Android TV app! It's incredibly easy to use and I can download just about anything that my imagination desires. Plus, it works on so many different platforms—Android TV, Fire TV, Google TV and TiVo Stream 4K!—so no matter what device, you have access to this amazing tool. Finally, it saves your recent history of downloads and visited sites, which makes accessing them super quick and simple. I couldn't ask for a better experience with this awesome app!

I just used Downloader by AFTVnews to install the new Wizz tv app on my devices. Worked well on Chromecast with Google TV, and a Samsung phone S20, & a Galaxy Tab 6 & a Lenovo P11. Very satisfied. I was going nuts trying to use other methods. I didnt realise Dowloader worked so well for phones and tablets. Is that a new development? You have to let it go back to Settings to allow it to access unknown sources.

This app is great for Fire Stick but very problematic for Google TV. When installing it does not ask me to give it special permissions and because of that it makes the app absolutely useless. Tried several times, even uninstalled & reinstall but the wizard never ask about giving the app special permissions. Has Google disabled that functionality? If so, not cool!
