A: Not at the moment. FlixFox is so far an Android-only app. There is no iPhone/iPad (iOS) version nor a Windows app yet. But don't worry, PC users can still take advantage of FlixFox by installing the APK using an Android emulator (such as BlueStacks).

A: Yes! FlixFox supports Android TV OS hardware. On Smart TVs that run on Android OS (or on any devices such as Mi Box, Nvidia Shield, etc.), you can get and install FlixFox APK. All you need to do is enable unknown sources on the TV and sideload the app as you would any other below. FlixFox is not directly compatible with non-Android smart TV’s, such as LG or Samsung TV’s, but you can use an external Android TV box or Fire TV Stick to run FlixFox on them!

A: To run FlixFox smoothly, you need Android 6.0 (Lollipop). Should you still be running an ancient version of Android, the app won’t install for you, or it could crash. Also, make sure your device is sufficiently powerful, with adequate RAM, to stream video. If you're on a compatible Android but still have issues, clear up some storage space and close any other background apps that may be running, then open FlixFox again.

A: There isn’t a specific PC app, but you could use an Android emulator on a computer. Get an emulator like BlueStacks for PC; install it and later load the FlixFox APK onto the emulator. In this way, the FlixFox can be played on a computer to better enjoy the content on a large screen.

A: Make sure your device has an active internet connection (FlixFox requires an active connection to stream). If the app opens, but a specific video won’t play:

A: If you got FlixFox not from an authorized source, you probably have an adjusted version that displays pop-up ads or even fake warnings like “erotic content” or some apps. To avoid these annoying pop-ups, we prefer you to download the official FlixFox APK from our website. The official app has practically no ads or fake notification pop-ups.

A: If you have no sound in the video, the volume on your computer may not be turned up, or you have muted it, and also check if the video has multiple audio tracks. (Some may play on mute, but you may be able to change the audio using the player.) If subs are missing, not all videos have subtitles. If a movie is supposed to include subtitles but you don’t see them, that might be a snag in that download. In such cases, attempt online streaming (if you downloaded it or re-download the movie. FlixFox is always working to better support subtitles, and it’s not yet 100% for all titles.

A: FlixFox supports offline downloads for most movies and episodes. When you are looking at a title, start by finding a Download icon or button. Just tap it, then, if the quality option appears, tap on the quality. The video should save to FlixFox (Downloads tab). Please note that downloads will be available only inside the app — they will not appear in your phone’s general gallery or file manager (this is to avoid large amounts of piracy due to copyright). Click Me > Downloads in the app to stream downloaded videos offline anytime.

A: As long as you updated FlixFox and didn't uninstall before the update (which is recommended), your downloads should not be affected. But if you had uninstalled the old version by mistake before updating, such a downloaded file is deleted along with the app data. In that case, they can’t be redeemed, unfortunately. Be sure to keep this in mind for the future, in case there are updates: Installing the APK on top of the old one will keep your downloads. Also, downloads are device-specific- they will not transfer to a second device even if you log in (they are saved to the storage of the device on which the original download is made).

A: If you signed up for a FlixFox account via email and you forgot your password, click the “Forgot Password” link on the login screen to reset it (you’ll receive an email to reset your password). If you logged in with a Google account or a Phone OTP, you don’t have a password – you’d log in in the same way again (e.g., sign in with Google, or receive a new OTP on your phone number). If you’re not sure what way you logged in, check for a confirmation email, or simply try all the methods. A strong warning: account deletion is currently irreversible for security, so be careful when using that.

A: No. We request only the permissions needed to run the app/storage, and device information is necessary. This app does not carry malware or spyware. We also don’t share user data with other companies. But if you ever download a hacked version from somewhere else, that might be dangerous.

A: Yes, FlixFox supports a parental control feature to screen adult content. If you’ve turned it off, but you still find you can’t access certain mature content, it could be because of where you downloaded the app. For example, it had limitations when side-loaded via an app store (such as Xiaomi’s store). The solution is to download and install the official AP file from our site, which you can find in this article, and with parental controls configured by you! Always use the latest official site version to have a smooth experience.

A: We test the official FlixFox APK file to ensure that it’s safe. Speak of the bans, no account can be banned while you are using FlixFox for free. Your ISP in India is also not likely to ban or block FlixFox (it’s not often flagged). Just don’t use the app to be abusive or share your account with the public. And again, stay away from any “hacked” versions of FlixFox that could be risky.
