The following tutorial shows how to install SmartTube on Firestick, Fire TV, and Android TV/Google TV.
SmartTube is an ad-free version of YouTube that allows users to watch videos without any advertisements. The majority of YouTube users are getting tired of ads within the platform, and they are getting worse.
While no account is required, users can still sign in with a Google account for recommended videos, favorites, playlists, and more.
SmartTube Interface
Over the past few months YouTube has been trying to get rid of ad-free applications and blocking browsers that do the same. Thankfully, YouTube hasn’t been able to take down the SmartTube application.
SmartTube can be installed on any device that runs the Android operating system. This includes the Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, and Android TV/Google TV devices. Unfortunately, it is currently unavailable on mobile devices.
For those who are looking for ad-free YouTube on Android phones and tablets, we suggest the ReVanced application.
All releases of SmartTube are checked and scanned with VirusTotal to ensure they are completely malware free.

Is SmartTube Legal?
According to its developers, SmartTube is a third-party YouTube client built using open-source code.
The app itself does not host or distribute any video content. Instead, it simply serves as a tool for accessing videos already available on YouTube.
So while using SmartTube to watch videos is legal, downloading content from this platform may be illegal and is not recommended.
SmartTube Developers Liability Message
We suggest viewing the developer’s GitHub page for more details on legality and liability.
Is This App Safe to Use?
While testing SmartTube, we always want to scan the official APK file with VirusTotal to check for safety. Here is the screenshot of the scan results.
SmartTube VirusTotal Scan
VirusTotal did not find any suspicious files or malware within the APK file. However, this does not mean we shouldn’t protect ourselves when streaming content from this unverified app.
The best way to do this is with a VPN that will secure your identity and anonymity when using unverified applications.
Final Thoughts from Troy
SmartTube is the best way to enjoy YouTube without interruptions from ads. If you’re using a Firestick or Android TV device, this app is a must-have in your streaming setup.
