Chromecast Setup – Install the Best Applications
Once your device is available for use, we can install applications that will help us get the most out of our device.
The best way to do this is by side-loading apps or APK’s that are not available in the Google Play Store.
Luckily, TROYPOINT has created an all-in-one application that features all the Best Streaming Apps.
This includes the installation of Kodi on a Chromecast with Google TV.
The Rapid App Installer has the best apps for Free Movies, TV Shows, and much more.
This resource allows you to install the best streaming apps and tools in a matter of minutes rather than installing each APK one by one.
Install the Best Streaming Apps in Minutes
The free TROYOINT app includes over 50 of the best streaming apps including the one(s) you’re about to install on this page.
Users can also install other applications that are not provided in the Rapid App Installer on the Google Play Store.
How to Install Apps from Unknown Sources

Follow the quick guide below to enable unknown sources on your new Chromecast with Google TV.
1. Click Settings
