What's the best Amazon Fire TV app for watching free movies?

Freevee is our choice for the best streaming service, but there are plenty of great options. Which is great since it'll cost you nothing to try them all. We chose Freevee as our top choice, because it has the best collection of original content and the best selection of live TV channels, to go along with a really impressive library of films and TV shows. Tubi is very comparable to Freevee, but one thing separating the two is that Tubi has fewer live channels. PBS Kids is also a must-have for parents. All the channels we've listed are worth adding. The next time you're looking for one of your favorite movies, you might just find it for free.
