Discovery+ offers its viewers the best of both worlds. It has more than 55,000 episodes from Discovery’s various networks, with on-demand shows and documentaries from Animal Planet, Cooking Channel, American Heroes Channel, HGTV, History Channel, and many others.
Sure, it doesn’t offer many movies, but the sheer vastness of non-fiction content makes subscribing to Discovery+ worth it. Especially for Firestick users who have grown fed up with watching fiction titles on Netflix, Amazon, and other streaming providers and want to view non-fiction for a change.
In this article, we’re going to explain how you can get Discovery+ on Firestick/Firestick 4K/Firestick Lite/Fire TV Cube. Doing so is easy given that this streaming platform’s official app is on the Android store (no sideloading required!).
Here’s a step-by-step guide to get Discovery Plus on Firestick:
1. Click on the ‘Find’ or ‘Search’ option on the home screen.

Here’s how you can set up your Discovery+ account on Firestick:
Discovery+ is one of the best streaming platforms for non-fiction and fact-based shows. Like other major streaming platforms, it offers multilingual support. You also can view various award-winning documentaries as well as lots of non-fiction content on this platform.
Built-in Alexa is one feature that sets Discovery+ apart from its competitors. It saves you from the hassle of typing by letting you voice-search for your favorite titles. A “For You” section with personalized content recommendations based on viewing history is another nice-to-have feature.
In terms of pricing, Discovery+ is a relative bargain when compared with other, major streaming providers. It offers two versions: the add-supported one will set you back $4.99 per month, whereas the ad-free (premium) version costs only $6.99.
On top of everything else, Discovery+ is available on more devices than any other streaming service. You can download its official app on: Android and iOS tablets or smartphones, Amazon Firestick, Apple TV, Roku, Samsung smart TVs, Xbox One, and Series S/X game consoles.
Discovery+ offers two types of subscription plans.
Regardless of the version you subscribe for, you’ll get up to four simultaneous streams and five user profiles per account.
Keep in mind that Discovery+ only offers monthly subscription plans. This puts it at a disadvantage when compared with Netflix, which is testing 3 and 6 month plans in India.
Lastly, Discovery Plus also offers a seven-day free trial. This is another area where Netflix is ahead. The streaming giant lures potential subscribers with a much longer, 30-day free trial.
Installing Discovery+ on Amazon Fire TV Stick is super-easy. All you have to do is to follow the instructions mentioned above. The entire process is so straightforward that if you don’t make a mistake, you’ll be able to complete it in less than 10 minutes.
