What is IPTV Smarters Pro

Unlike TiviMate Premium which requires payment, IPTV Smarters Pro is always free. You only pay for your IPTV subscription from a provider like Xtream codes.
Why IPTV Smarters Pro is Not in the Amazon Appstore
IPTV Smarters Pro is not available in the Amazon Appstore. You cannot search for it and download it like Netflix or Kodi. This is why you need to sideload it manually.

The good news is that IPTV Smarters Pro IS available on the Google Play Store for Android phones and tablets. It is also on the Apple App Store as Smarters Player Lite. But for Firestick, you must sideload it.
Step 1: Enable Unknown Sources on Your Firestick

Here is what to do:
Go to the home screen of your Firestick and find the Settings icon. Press the Settings button on your remote.
Select My Fire TV from the menu. You will see several options below it.

Click on the Fire TV Stick quickly 7 times using your remote. Do this fast. After the 7th click, you will see a message at the bottom that says You are already a developer. When you see this, stop clicking.
Go back to My Fire TV menu and now you will see Developer Options has appeared. Click on it.
