In this guide, we will discuss what Strix is and how to use and install it. This app can be installed on almost any device, e.g. Firestick, Fire Cube, Nvidia Shield, Android box, Chromecast, phones, tablets, PC and more. However, this app cannot be installed from the Google Play or Amazon store. To install it, it must be sideloaded.
The Amazon Firestick is a popular streaming device that offers excellent value for money and can be jailbroken with minimal effort. It is a perfect choice for anyone looking to cut the cord, regardless of their experience with streaming devices.
However, if you are looking for Adult content, the Adult category still works well.

What is Strix?
Strix is an all-in-one application that lets you stream the latest movies, TV shows, live TV channels, sports, and adult content (optional) – all for free! You can sideload Strix onto almost any Android streaming device, as well as all Firesticks and other Fire TV devices.
This app has categories for Live TV, Movies, TV Shows, Adult, Watchlist, and Settings.
Strix works by searching and scraping free links from online databases and websites. However, scraping for links works much better with Real Debrid. Real Debrid is a premium service that searches for premium-quality links. This provides many more links in buffer-free and high quality, up to 4K in resolution.
Integration with Trakt is not supported.
Is Strix Safe?
It is recommended to exercise caution and discretion when installing Strix as it may pose potential safety risks.
According to a scan conducted on the application file using Virus Total, 13 security vendors have identified the file as potentially malicious.
Is Strix Legal?
This app does not host any content and is essentially just a search engine. It is, therefore, 100% legal to install and use. However, most links scraped from databases and websites are unlikely to hold the proper licencing for distributing the content. In reality, this means you will be unlawfully streaming copyrighted content. Doing so could get you into legal trouble. Accordingly, you may prefer to use this app with a VPN.
WARNING YOUR IP ADDRESS IS: 69.230.85.183
In order to stream anonymously, stay protected, and unlock the internet, I recommend using NordVPN.

Wrapping Up
Strix certainly is a very good all-round app for streaming movies, TV shows and adult content.
However, Live TV and Sports are not always reliable with this app. Streams often do not work or load. With this in mind, you may wish to use a backup option from this list of Free Live TV Apps, Free Live TV Websites, or use a Paid IPTV service.
