Does it support JIO apps?

How well does it cast screen from Android phone? Is the video stutter free?

I found this review to be a good one.

I wanted to buy it, but the price is steep at 4k.

You can add apps using an app called Apps2Fire. I hope Jio apps also can be added through it.

I bought one .. more than a month ago. it will make a non smart tv to smart tv. The interface is great. The video streams in great quality even in 1MB speed. Though a downside is you cannot control the data usage. Amazon prime has fairly decent collection( Same as their app). You can install all third party apps like youtube,hotstar,netflix and a number of other apps which i dont use.
You can install a file manager and browse your lan and watch movies from mobile or laptop. Also there is a hack with which you can install Kodi on Fire TV.

Coming to JIO apps, i have a dongle with Jio sim. But the jio app doesnt work on my mobile even when i am connected to the dongle. If you can make it work, then you can download the apk for jio app, load it to firetv and install it. Anyway you can always stream it from mobile to tv..

How did you install file manager app ?

Also, which apps are pre loaded ? Is installing new apps easy ?

How many extra apps can we add ? I mean, given the space available.

sorry for late reply. Apps take only nominal space. I have added around 10 till now and its taking limited space. And regarding file explorer, there is ES File Explorer avaiable in app store..
