Before You Start
New to installing apps outside an app store? It's a two-minute process called sideloading, fully supported by Android. The short version: download the APK, open it, allow the one-time permission, install. Device-specific instructions live on the Android TV, Google TV, and Firestick pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ViMovies completely free?
Yes. There is no subscription, trial, or hidden fee. The app is free to download and free to use.
Do I need to create an account?

Which devices does ViMovies support?
Android TV, Google TV (including Chromecast with Google TV), Fire TV Stick, and Android phones and tablets running Android 7.0 or newer.
Why isn't ViMovies on the Play Store?
