How To Update Redbox TV on your FireStick
Updating third-party apps or apps you sideloaded on your firestick isn’t as easy as updating the applications you downloaded from the Amazon app store. If you install any game or app from Amazon’s app store, the app updates itself automatically, but apps downloaded from third-party sources should be updated manually.
One of the amazing features of the Redbox TV app is that it automatically notifies you when there is a new app update. Also, you don’t have to do anything other than click the Update Now button. Some users claim that the app doesn’t get updated after clicking the app. In such a situation, here’s what you need to do:
- Go to the Apps & Games section.
- Highlight Redbox TV.
- Press the options button on your Fire TV remote.
- Click on Uninstall.
- Once the APK file is uninstalled, get the latest download link of Redbox TV APK.
- Open your ES File Explorer or Downloader and sideload the app by following the same steps I shared.
When you follow these steps, you should be able to update the Redbox TV application on your firestick.
User reviews of Redbox
Just rented my first on demand movie threw Redbox. It was a horrible experience. I would not play if I had downloaded the movie. The only way it would let me watch was threw using my data on my Phone. It was terrible quality often times being so blurry and pixilated you could not see what was on the screen as well as shuddering. I would have to stop the app and restart the movie just to get the quality bad enough to see what was on the screen it buffered ever few minutes. I made sure it was updated uninstalled and reinstalled the rare time it let me delete the download it could start watching it with my data. I tryed 3 times to download and play it. It would download fine but would not play. All it would say was keep watching even before I had started watching it. And would not actually play no mater how many times you pressed keep watching. Unless of course it wasn’t downloaded and I was using my phones data. I called customer support and they claimed they “refreshed” the movie and extended the available days which it didn’t and did nothing. They could not offer any real help. Please save yourself the trouble, unless you have a kicking data plan and great connection dont bother using red box on demand if you can only use your phone. It just would not play if it was downloaded. Maybe it wor

Only 3 stars because I’ve had numerous issues with movies I’ve rented skipping and freezing and had to continually take them out and clean them to try to finish movies…just think maybe the discs should be maintained better. Also I received a text from Redbox that the movies and games were 99 cents until November 4th…yet I just rented 3 and was charged $1.75 each for them…tried to contact customer service and their office is closed…also chat support isn’t available either. Seems like one or the other should be available at all times. I guessed I’ll try to contact them later to see if they will fix it. They shouldn’t advertise a promotion and then not give that pricing. Other than those issues I do like the convenience of renting from Redbox.
New Issue…There are problems with the app…every time I try to pull up my wish list it says it’s unable to do so to “please try again later”…I contacted customer service and was told to update the app and it would fix the issue… I just updated and it didn’t fix it…it’s still doing the same thing!! Please fix!!

This app works pretty great for when I occasionally rent a movie. My only gripe is that the Redbox locator map is terrible. You can search based on current location or even zip but you can’t pinch and zoom on the map to see the actual cross streets. Or sometimes you can pinch and zoom but not to the area you want, and adjusting the map in any other way results in it sprinting back to the zoomed-out look again.
The list with the addresses is there but not helpful if there are several machines on the same street but may not be that close to each other. Do you ever know the actual address of stores you visit?
So my one wish is that you could navigate the map to locate the preferred machine of your choice if you could navigate the map function as it is usually easier to locate a machine based on the map, especially if the machine is located in a shopping center.

The Redbox app technically does everything that I have ever demanded of it, but not without a little bit of struggle at times. Here’s my wish list:
1. I wish it was possible to reserve two discs at two different kiosks at the same location without having to make two transactions.
2. I wish instead of pulling a disc out of my bag if I switch kiosks it would instead give me an option to finalize that first transaction instead of just assuming that I don’t want it.
3. I wish as I was driving by a Redbox I could get a push notification sent to my phone to remind me to return a disc if I have rented one more than 12 hours ago and haven’t yet returned it.
4. I wish I didn’t have to slide my card through the card reader to pick up a reserved disc.
5. I wish I could select movies that I want to see when they come out at Redbox and get push notifications sent to my phone to let me know those movies are now available.
6. I wish when I am trying to return a disc and the kiosk is full that it would display on-screen the name/location of the nearest kiosk which isn’t full.
7. I wish when I am in the middle of a transaction and someone is about to rent the last copy of a movie that I have in my cart that I would get an in-app notification telling me that I may not get the movie.
I think I will stop there but I will check back often to see if any of these wishes have been fulfilled.
