How to Install Yidio App on Firestick, Fire TV, & Android

Hey there! Are you feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of streaming services and apps out there? It‘s hard to keep track of where to find the movies and shows you want to watch, isn‘t it?

Well, I‘ve got the perfect solution for you – it‘s an app called Yidio. Yidio is like a universal streaming guide, helping you locate where to watch your favorite titles across all the different services.

In this step-by-step guide, I‘ll explain exactly how to install Yidio on a Firestick, Fire TV, or Android device. I‘ll also demonstrate how to use Yidio‘s handy features to make finding entertainment content a breeze. Let‘s get started!

What is Yidio and How Does It Work?

Yidio is a free platform that acts like a search engine, aggregating content from over 200 streaming services and websites into one place.

Some of the top services it supports include:

Free Services Paid Services
Pluto TV Netflix
Tubi Prime Video
The Roku Channel Hulu
Crackle Disney+
IMDb TV HBO Max

When you search for a movie or show on Yidio, it scans through all these sources and more to show you everywhere that title is available to stream.

For example, if you search for "The Avengers", Yidio will display options to watch it on Disney+, for rental on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, etc.

You can then choose your preferred streaming option and Yidio will redirect you straight to that platform. It takes the work out of having to search each service individually!

According to Digital TV Research, the number of OTT video subscribers globally is projected to reach 1.66 billion by 2026, up from 1.1 billion in 2021. That‘s a whole lot more content spread across way more streaming services. Yidio brings it all together in one view.
