Can You Use Lookr on Android TV and Firestick?
Yes, with caveats. Lookr is designed for touchscreens, but the XAPK installs on Android TV and Firestick through sideloading, and video playback works. The experience is watchable but not polished, here is the honest breakdown before you try.
Key takeaways: Sideload the XAPK, navigate with a mouse toggle app, and expect playback to work while search typing stays awkward. Best for watching, not browsing.
How to get it on the TV
Download the XAPK from the official download page on another device, transfer it to the TV via USB or a file sharing app, and install it with a TV file manager that handles XAPK or sideload the splits. Firestick users can use the Downloader app with the file URL reached after the countdown.
What works well
Video playback is the strong point. Streams play in HD, the player controls respond to the remote's select and directional buttons, and downloaded videos play offline, handy for TVs with weak Wi-Fi.
What is awkward
Typing searches with a remote is painful, the app expects touch. Install a mouse toggle app to get a cursor, or pair your phone as a keyboard. The portrait phone layout also letterboxes on a widescreen TV, wasting screen space.
Our verdict
For occasionally watching a found video on the big screen, it works. As a daily TV app, the phone-first design fights you. Most people are happier finding videos on the phone and casting them instead.
