When it comes to TV boxes Android TV is the most popular and mostly used TV BOX. It is because you can afford for cheap prices. If your TV has one HDMI port you can connect Android TV box easily and use Android TV features. Does Android TV and Android phones have same OS (Operating System)? Yes, both has same OS. Therefore, you can install apps you used on your Android phone on Android TV boxes. But there are lots of compatibility issues.

Android apps are specially developed to work with touch screens and smaller screens like Tablets and phones. Android TV apps are developed to work with Android TV remote and bigger screens. Running a touch screen app or Android app may not work smoothly as you expected. Many used to connect external mouse to use those apps. But not good for games. You can use Android game that are designed to work with Game pad on Android TV too.

Installing an Android app store like AC Market or Aptoide is no use for Android TV boxes. It is better to use Android TV app store. Currently there are two major players on Android TV market. They are Aptoide TV and Filelinked. Those two app stores are completely different to each other.

Aptoide TV

Aptoide TV is like Google Play Store TV application. Just like TV version of the play store. Aptoide TV app was developed work smoothly with Android TV remote. Each and every app or game search made on Aptoide TV has two parts. First part about Android TV apps or compatible section. Other section is showing “All Apps”. All apps sections show all available Android apps regardless of compatibility. If you want to install Android TV version of an app it is better to stick with first part. If there is any favorite Android phone app want to try on Android TV box, Aptoide TV is the best choice. Because easy to use and install apps and games.

Just like Aptoide, you can use Aptoide TV app to install apps and games not on play store TV. For example, Clean Master.

Filelinked

Filelinked is not just an app store. Everyone can create their own store or apps, games, images, music, videos, films and etc. If you want list of awesome free Movies, TV Shows, TV Channels, Sport Channels apps Filelinked is the best place. Because many Android TV lovers specially YouTubers create list of Android TV movies, TV shows apps and made them public. If you have the correct Filelinked code to access those stores, you can install those awesome apps for free.
