Take a look at my Vudu review video for full details or check out the information below instead. This app can be installed on almost any device e.g. Firestick, Fire Cube, Nvidia Shield, Android box, Chromecast, phones, tablets, PC and more.
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.

What is Vudu?
Vudu is an American digital video store and streaming service owned by Fandango Media. Vudu is not completely free, it does have sections to buy or rent titles. However, the free section (that is supported by ads) does have over 8,000 titles to choose from. Unfortunately, the free titles aren’t particularly good. Especially when compared to the likes of Peacock, Tubi or Plex.
Pros
- Loads of free stuff
- Stream in 1080p HD
- New content is added each week
- Subtitles work well
Cons
- To rent and buy titles are expensive
- Some to rent and buy titles you can find elsewhere for free
- Free titles may not be to everyone's taste

Where is Vudu Available?
At this time, Vudu is available in the US only. But if you can’t get it in your area and want to stream content from the Vudu app then you may be able to use a VPN to bypass any location blocks.
NordVPN is my recommendation because it has strong unblocking capabilities. If you presently use IP Vanish as your VPN and want to unblock streaming services, I would consider switching to my recommended VPN. Despite IP Vanish being a safe and secure VPN, it does not have very good unblocking capabilities. Furthermore, you will struggle to use streaming services that are based outside of your location.

Do I Need to Sign Up?
Yes. You can browse all that Vudu has to offer without regardless of whether you have an account or not. But to start watching, you must create an account. All that is presently required is an email address and password.
How Can I Get the Vudu App?
Vudu is available to stream on most of your devices as an app as well as on any web browser. Simply search your app store for Vudu then install it. But if you can’t get the app from your app store then you may be able to sideload it. In order to do so, your device must be capable of installing apps from unknown sources. Once your device is enabled for sideloading, you can then install the Vudu app from my Downloads page.
- Firstly, make sure you have enabled sideloading on your device
- Open Downloader then select the Search box
- Type in 28907 then select Go
- Wait for my Downloads page to fully load then press the Menu (or Options) button on your remote 2x to enter full-screen mode
- Move down the page to view the 'Movies and TV' section
- Find the Vudu app in the list then select it
- On the next page, move down until you see the 'Download' button
- Select the Download button then select Install
- When the app has finished installing, select Delete 2x to remove the installation file as it's no longer required
- Go to your apps page then open the app!
