This step-by-step instructional guide will show you how to install and use Syncler on Firestick, Fire TV, and Android TV/Google TV Box.
Syncler is a popular Streaming App that serves up Movies and TV Shows on any device.
At first glance, it appears to be a fork of the once-popular TVZion APK. However, it works differently than this retired app.
Unlike other Apps & APKs, users must install a provider package to stream content within Syncler.
This will make the app work similarly to Kodi and Stremio.
Due to its popularity and functionality, we have included Syncler in our list of Best Streaming APKs.
In the meantime, we can still use the following method to install and use this app.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Syncler does not scrape/provide links for streaming. Instead, users must integrate a Real-Debrid or other premium resolver account and install a Link Provider Package.
The following steps will show you how to install Syncler on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV, Fire TV Cube, and Fire TV Televisions.
These instructions also work for any Android TV Box including NVIDIA SHIELD, Chromecast with Google TV, MECOOL, onn. Google TV, and more.

Details & More
Whether using the premium version of the app or not, Syncler is a fabulous app.
While the interface and other features may seem familiar, Syncler is not your typical APK.
This app requires setup for streaming, and there is a reason for this.
By requiring users to install/manage their scraper packages, the application is completely open-source, removing any legal implications from the developer.
This is so the app doesn’t attract attention for copyright issues and undergo the same fate as TVZion.
However, after setting up the app, you will find it works fabulously for streaming and is virtually buffer-free.
For 100% legal and verified free streaming options, we suggest checking our list of free movie/TV show apps below.
Is Syncler APK Safe to Use?
Before using unverified applications, it is essential to scan these APK files with VirusTotal.
Here is a screenshot of what that scan found:
VirusTotal did not find any suspicious files or malware within the Syncler APK file.
However, this does not mean we shouldn’t protect ourselves when streaming content from this unverified app.
The best way to do this is with a VPN that will secure your identity and anonymity when using Syncler or other applications.
