Copy. I use the APK NOVA to watch movies and shows. Works really well. Unfortunately, it still buffers but not as much as prior APKs I’ve used.I actually don't know what the underlying OS is on the Roku. The firestick is a bastardized Android. Amazon is shipping movies as apps (apk) instead of bog-standard media (mp4?) files? Or is the APK route their attempt at doing content rights management?
Or do you just mean 'apps' for accessing this service or that service? Yes Roku has a decent variety but I'm not familiar with the platform enough to know if you can side-load or if there are any glaring omissions. All we use it for is Netflix and 1 month rental of HBO when a full season of a show has been published.
If your firestick is older than say 2 years, you need to upgrade the software (if possible) or replace it. They have been notoriously buggy.
