Apr 11, 2020 I have an Amazon Fire tablet. We have movies that we have bought from sky store. We can't find the sky store player app on the fire tablet that you need to be able to play the purchased films on there. Do sky not allow this on an amazon tablet? Or am I missing it?

- Unfortunately, there’s no official Sky Go app for Android TV, Fire TV, or Apple TV devices. You can only get the Sky Go mobile app on Android and iOS smartphones/tablets from their respective app stores. Although many websites claim to have the Sky Go mobile app working on Android TV and Fire TV devices, it’s completely false and misleading.
Seasonal movies lined up on Sky Movies this year include The Grinch, Night at the Museum, Fred Claus, Exodus: Gods & Kings, Avengers: Age of Ultron and of course Elf, which Sky has the exclusive rights to for the foreseeable.

Though Sky says that ‘multiple generations’ of Fire tablets will be able to install the Sky Go app, there’s no comprehensive list of supported Amazon devices yet. Sky has confirmed that the new sub-£50 Fire tablet will be supported, however.
Luke Bradley-Jones, Sky’s director of TV products, commented: “It’s brilliant that Amazon Fire tablets are now compatible with Sky Go in time for the great line up of TV this December.

Sky has been unable to confirm whether or not Amazon’s Fire tablets will be supported by the My Q apps. My Q is a feature of Sky Q, Sky’s forthcoming TV platform which promises a smooth, seamless viewing experience across multiple devices. Due for release early next year, Sky Q promises 4K Ultra HD TV content and the ability to record up to four programmes at once on the Sky Q Silver set-top box.
