In this guide, I’ll show you how to install IPTV Smarters Pro on FireStick. The steps will work for all Fire TV devices, including FireOS Smart TV, Fire TV Cube, FireStick HD, FireStick 4K, and FireStick 4K Max. The post also covers quick methods for installing IPTV Smarters Pro on Android TV Boxes, Smart Android TVs, and iOS devices.
What’s IPTV Smarters Pro?
IPTV Smarters or IPTV Smarters Pro is an IPTV player that lets you stream content from IPTV subscriptions. It is also an IPTV management service, similar to Smart IPTV.
However, unlike Smart IPTV, which requires a one-time activation fee, IPTV Smarters is free (there is a paid version, too, with additional features, but all the essential services are free). IPTV Smarters Pro does not provide any IPTV services. It does not host any channels or have any playlists of its own.
You will need to use the login credentials of another IPTV service. To use IPTV Smarters on FireStick and other devices, you must already have an IPTV service provider subscription.
IPTV Smarters works only with IPTV services that support M3U playlists or have an Xtream Codes API. The most significant advantage of IPTV Smarters is that it allows login from multiple IPTV subscriptions. You can access various IPTV services from one location, IPTV Smarters. Also, the app has a user-friendly interface, allowing a great streaming experience.
Lastly, IPTV Smarters lets you install and use EPG if included in your subscription plan
Quick Features of IPTV Smarters
Here are some important points:
- IPTV Smarters doesn’t host any channels. Its interface only allows you to access channels from other IPTV service providers.
- You MUST have a subscription from at least one IPTV service provider to use IPTV Smarters.
- To log in to IPTV Smarters, use your service provider’s M3U playlist URL or Xtream Codes API.
- You can use multiple subscriptions from multiple IPTV providers.
- IPTV Smarters is a great way to access multiple IPTV subscriptions from one place without installing individual apps separately.
Is IPTV Smarters Pro Safe & Legal?
When an app is unavailable on official app stores like Amazon and Play Store, it raises safety questions. IPTV Smarters Pro isn’t hosted in any of these stores. Instead, you sideload it onto your device from a third-party website.
You should exercise caution and conduct independent research before using such an app. One way to gauge an app’s safety is to scan the URL or APK file with the VirusTotal security tool. I scanned the IPTV Smarters Pro APK file. As you can see in the screenshot below, VirusTotal didn’t detect any suspicious files.
IPTV Smarters Pro doesn’t host any content. However, it lets you stream content through various IPTV providers, some of which distribute content illegally.
Another factor that raises legality concerns is official stores removing the app from their platforms. In 2019, Google Play Store removed IPTV Smarters Pro from the repository. App stores conduct thorough research on all the available apps and ensure they’re entirely safe and legal. Something must have prompted Play Store to stop hosting IPTV Smarters.
However, FireStickTricks.com can’t verify the legal status of this app. If you want to use IPTV Smarters Pro, don’t forget to pair it with a VPN. While streaming through unofficial platforms, a VPN like ExpressVPN will always protect you.
How to Install IPTV Smarters Pro on FireStick
As I noted earlier, IPTV Smarters Pro is unavailable on the Amazon App Store. We need to sideload it from an external website. Before doing so, we need to prepare the FireStick to install an app from an unknown source.
Prepare Fire TV to Sideload IPTV Smarters Pro
By default, The FireStick doesn’t allow installation of unknown apps. To sideload a third-party app, you must disable this setting. You also need a special app that lets you download apps from external sites. This app is called the Downloader app and you can get it from the Amazon Store.
Learn more about this in our guide on how to sideload apps on FireStick with Downloader.

Your FireStick / Fire TV is now all ready to stream your favorite content. However, before you start, I would like to warn you that everything you stream online is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming free movies, TV shows, Sports might get you into legal trouble.
Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Fire Stick. A VPN will mask your original IP which is 197.147.106.160 and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.
I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and is very easy to install on Fire TV / Stick.
We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.
So, before you start streaming on your Fire Stick / Fire TV, let’s see how to use ExpressVPN to keep your streaming activities hidden from prying eyes.
Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

How to Use IPTV Smarters on FireStick
If you intend to use IPTV Smarters frequently, I recommend creating a home screen shortcut for the app.
IPTV Smarters DOES NOT have any channels. It is a facilitator or a media player that organizes and plays the channels offered by IPTV service providers. Therefore, you need at least one IPTV subscription to watch content on IPTV Smarters. Otherwise, it’s an empty media player.
When you run the IPTV Smarters app for the first time, the Terms of Use will be the first window. Scroll down and click Accept.
You’ll see this window. This is the IPTV Smarters Pro home screen.
There are two ways to sign in to your IPTV service on IPTV Smarters
- Load Your Playlist or File/URL
- Login with Xtream Codes API
Load Your Playlist or File/URL
Your IPTV service MUST support the M3U playlist for you to use with IPTV Smarters. Not all the IPTV services do.
Once you purchase an IPTV subscription plan, the service provider typically emails you the login details. This email also contains the M3U Playlist and EPG links. If you haven’t received the links, you may contact the service provider.
To get started, click Load Your Playlist or File URL.
When you choose the Load Your Playlist or File/URL option, the app may ask for permission. Click Allow.
Here is the screen where you can enter the M3U playlist link. In the Playlist Type section, choose the M3U URL option. In the Playlist Name section, type any name you like. Next, in the File/URL section, type the M3U URL. Then, click the Add User button.
Login with Xtream Codes API
M3U playlist URLs are often long and difficult to type into the app using the FireStick remote. Therefore, I recommend using the Xtream Codes API instead. They are shorter and easier to type. However, Xtream Codes are no longer working, and I am unsure if the API Codes will work.

Your IPTV provider will email you the Xtream Codes API and M3U playlist URL. If you haven’t received them, contact your IPTV provider.
To get started, click Login with Xtream Codes API.
When you click Login with Xtream Codes API, you will see a window where you can enter your details. Enter your name, username, password, and URL, and then click Add User.
