Here’s how to install Popcorn Time onto your NVIDIA Shield.

  1. Install Downloader

  2. Enable install from unknown sources


    To allow Downloader to install Popcorn Time from outside of the Google App Store we need to allow it to install from unknown sources. This is a security feature so be careful when installing unknown apps and make sure you trust them.

    Go to Settings > Security and restrictions > Unknown sources.

    Shield Unknown Sources

    Click on Downloader to switch on this feature for the Downloader application.

  3. Download Popcorn Time


    Open the Downloader app from your apps list from the home screen and type the following URL into the URL box at the top:

    Once downloaded, hit ‘Install’ from the Downloader screen, then ‘Install’ again on the white android installer dialog screen.

    Once installed you can select ‘Done’ to return or ‘Open’ to open up Popcorn Time.

    If you hit back to Downloader you’ll be presented with an option to delete the installer file. We don’t need it anymore so go ahead and choose to delete the apk installer to free up some space.

  4. All Done!
