How to Install & Watch VUDU on Firestick

If you aren’t interested in paying a monthly or annual subscription to services like Netflix or Prime, choose the Vudu app and install it on Firestick to watch plenty of movies and TV shows. Unlike those services, Vudu allows you to rent or buy the selected content for streaming. If you have purchased a movie, you can watch it anytime. While renting, you will have 30 days to watch the content. Once you start watching the content, you have to finish streaming within 24 to 48 hours.

Apart from that, Vudu also has a few movies that can be watched without any purchase or rent. However, you need to watch a few commercial advertisements while streaming them.

Since VUDU is geo-restricted within the US, it might not appear on your Firestick apps section in other countries. In this case, you have to install the Downloader app on Firestick to sideload the apk version of VUDU.

Key Features

• VUDU offers personalized recommendations based on your streaming history.
• All the purchased or rented movies can be streamed on 4K quality.
