What Is APKBuilds?

Is APKBuilds Safe?

APKBuilds is a third-party website and has no affiliations with Amazon or FireStick. Being an unofficial site raises safety concerns because you want to avoid installing faulty apps or malware-ridden APK files on your Fire TV device.

I scanned the site’s URL on VirusTotal, and it came out clean. All 91 vendors declared the site clean of viruses, malware, and other malicious files. This information verifies the safety of APKBuilds and gives a green light on using it to install third-party apps on FireStick.

Is APKBuilds Legal?

APKBuilds host third-party apps, including Mod APKs. Mod APKs are modified apps of original mobile apps. For this reason, the site raises legal concerns. FireStickHow cannot vouch for the legitimacy of this site or the apps it hosts because it depends on various factors.

These factors include its content sources, copyright agreements, and licenses. That said, it’s crucial to always use a VPN for FireStick whenever using a third-party site like APKBuilds. ExpressVPN guarantees anonymous browsing and protects your data from third parties.

Features of APKBuilds

Let’s go over some of APKBuilds features:

1. Various apps and games include entertainment, social media, tools and utility apps, and Mod APKs.
2. Installation guides for apps and games.
3. Updates for apps and games.
4. Change logs for apps and games.

How to Install APKBuilds on FireStick

APKBuilds is yet to have a dedicated APK that can be installed on FireStick. So instead of installing the APK downloader on your device, you’ll need to access the website via the Downloader app. Downloader is an official Amazon App Store app that serves as a platform to sideload third-party apps onto the Fire TV device.

I will divide this section into two parts. The first part entails installing Downloader on FireStick and changing the device’s settings to allow the installation of unofficial apps. However, if you already have a Downloader on your Fire TV device, skip to the second part.

The second part includes the installation steps. Let’s discuss the two sections below.

Set Up FireStick For Sideloading

You must install and set up the Downloader app to access APKBuilds on FireStick. Here is our detailed guide on installing and setting up Downloader on FireStick.

Below are the quick steps:

1. Click Find>Search and search Downloader on the Amazon App Store. Then, install the app on your FireStick.

2. From the FireStick home screen, click Settings>My Fire TV>Developer Options>Install Unknown Apps. Turn on Downloader.

Note: If your FireStick has Apps From Unknown Sources, turn it on instead.

You’ve successfully installed and set up Downloader for sideloading.

Installation Steps of APKBuilds

APKBuilds.com is a website and not an app. Therefore, in this section, you will actually learn how to access the website using the Downloader app.

1. Click the All Apps icon on your FireStick to reveal Your Apps & Channels.

2. Select Downloader.

3. Select the URL/Search Term field.

4. Enter the following URL: apkbuilds.com, and click Go.

Disclaimer: The URL above takes you to the official website of APKBuilds. FireStickHow.com does not host this URL and is not affiliated with APKBuilds.com. This post is only for educational purposes.

The link takes you to the homepage of APKBuilds. You can start browsing the apps by categories or via the search function.

Wait! It looks like you are all set to start watching your favorite content on FireStick. But have you protected your online identity yet? You are under constant surveillance by the Government and ISP. Free streaming of copyrighted videos may get you into legal trouble.

Thankfully, you can easily avoid online monitoring and safeguard your privacy with a trusted VPN on FireStick. A VPN will hide your IP address and online identity by encrypting your internet connection.

Please note that I am not encouraging you to violate any copyright laws. You should always watch the content available in the public domain. I am simply recommending the use of a VPN to maintain your privacy. You have every right to your privacy, which is constantly being breached these days.

I personally use ExpressVPN and have found it to be the fastest and most secure FireStick VPN. It is also the most streaming-friendly VPN I have ever used. Therefore, I highly recommend getting ExpressVPN for FireStick.

Here is how you can quickly get the ExpressVPN app on FireStick:

Step 1: Click HERE to subscribe to ExpressVPN and enjoy a 49% discount with 3 months of extended service. You are also eligible for a 30-day, full money-return guarantee.
