1 Method 1: Google Play (Easiest)

If your Android device has Google Play, this is the recommended method. You'll get automatic updates and the cleanest install experience.

1

Open Google Play on your device

Find the Google Play Store app on your home screen or app drawer and open it.

2

Search for "Stremio"

Type "Stremio" in the search bar. Look for the official app by Smart-Code Ltd with the purple diamond icon.

3

Tap Install

Tap the Install button and wait for the download to finish. The app will appear on your home screen.

Open Google Play

2 Method 2: Direct APK Download

Use this method if your device doesn't have Google Play (Amazon Fire tablets, some Chinese Android phones, etc.), or if you prefer to install a specific version manually.

Which APK should you download?

Start with arm64-v8a. It works on most Android phones made after 2016. If it fails to install, try armeabi-v7a next.

3 Enable Unknown Sources

Before installing an APK file on Android, you need to allow your device to install apps from sources other than Google Play. Here's how:

Only enable unknown sources for trusted apps. You can disable this setting again after installation if you prefer.

On Android 8 and above:

  1. Download the APK file to your phone
  2. Tap the downloaded file — Android will ask if you want to allow your browser or file manager to install apps
  3. Tap "Allow" for that specific app
  4. The APK installer will then open — tap "Install"

On Android 7 and below:

  1. Go to Settings → Security
  2. Enable "Unknown Sources"
  3. Open the downloaded APK file and tap "Install"

4 Sign In and Get Started

Once Stremio is installed, open it and sign in with your Stremio account. If you don't have one, you can create a free account at stremio.com.

After signing in, head to the Addons section and install the content sources you want. Your watchlist and history will automatically sync with your other Stremio devices.

! Troubleshooting

APK won't install: Make sure you enabled "Install unknown apps" for the app you used to open the APK. Try the armeabi-v7a version if arm64 fails.

"App not installed" error: You may have a conflicting version installed. Uninstall the existing Stremio app first, then try again.

Video doesn't play: Check that your addons are installed and enabled. Some streams may require a VPN depending on your region.
