TiviMate Companion App: Unlock Premium Without Google Play

What the TiviMate Companion app does, who needs it, and how to use it to unlock TiviMate Premium on a Firestick and manage your activated devices.

Ryan Fernandez·Updated ·7 min read

TiviMate Companion is a free Android app from Armobsoft FZE, the developer of TiviMate. Its Google Play listing says it is intended to unlock TiviMate Premium on devices without Google Play, such as an Amazon Firestick, and to manage your activated devices. It is not an IPTV player and has no remote-control or TV-guide features. Install it on an Android phone, buy Premium there, then activate Premium in TiviMate on the Firestick.

A smartphone and a streaming-stick remote on a coffee table in front of a TV, the phone-and-TV setup TiviMate Companion is used with.

TiviMate Companion is a separate app from the TiviMate player. Its only jobs, according to the developer, are unlocking TiviMate Premium and its paid featureson devices that cannot pay through Google Play, and managing the devices your Premium is activated on. This guide sticks to what the developer’s TiviMate Companion listing on Google Play says. Tivimate IPTV is an independent IPTV service, not the developer of TiviMate or TiviMate Companion.

What Does the TiviMate Companion App Do?

It does two things: it unlocks TiviMate Premium on devices without Google Play, and it lets you manage your activated devices. The developer’s listing reads, in full: “This app is intended to unlock Premium functionality of TiviMate IPTV player on devices without Google Play. It allows managing your activated devices also. It is not IPTV player app!” The listing names Armobsoft FZE as the publisher and shows more than a million downloads.

Everything you watch, browse or set up happens in the main TiviMate app on your TV device. The table compares the two apps, based on the developer’s Google Play listings.

Comparison of TiviMate Companion and the main TiviMate app: Companion unlocks Premium on devices without Google Play and manages activated devices but plays nothing and has no TV guide; TiviMate, whose listing does not mention device management, plays M3U, Xtream Codes and Stalker playlists with a TV guide.

Who Needs TiviMate Companion?

You need it if TiviMate runs on a device without Google Play, which in practice means an Amazon Firestick or another Fire TV device. If your TV device has Google Play, you buy Premium inside TiviMate and do not need Companion to unlock it.

TiviMate is not in the Amazon Appstore, so on a Firestick you install TiviMate with the Downloader code. Without Google Play on the device, TiviMate cannot take a Google Play payment there, and that is the gap Companion fills.

How to Unlock TiviMate Premium on a Firestick With Companion

Install Companion on an Android phone or tablet that has Google Play, buy Premium in Companion, then activate it in TiviMate on the Firestick. The developer does not publish the exact screens, so button and menu names below may differ by app version.

  1. Install TiviMate on the Firestick first, if you have not already, with the Downloader code.
  2. On an Android phone or tablet, install TiviMate Companion from its Google Play listing. Check that the publisher shown is Armobsoft FZE.
  3. Open Companion and choose the Premium purchase option.
  4. Check the options and the price shown, then pay through Google Play on the phone or tablet.
  5. On the Firestick, open TiviMate, go to the Premium section of Settings and follow the on-screen activation steps.
Map of where TiviMate Premium is unlocked: on an Amazon Firestick or Fire TV, buy it in TiviMate Companion on an Android phone and activate it in TiviMate; on Android TV, Google TV and onn boxes, buy it inside TiviMate through Google Play.

The developer does not publish a Premium price on its website, and store prices vary by country and can change, so we do not quote one. Companion shows the current price in your currency before you pay.

TiviMate Companion Login and Your Account

Premium bought in Companion is linked to your account, which is what lets you activate it on a Firestick that is not the phone you paid on. The developer’s website, tivimate.com, also offers a log-in and sign-up for a TiviMate account. The developer does not document which screens ask you to sign in or with what, so follow the prompts in Companion and in TiviMate, and use the same account in both. If a sign-in fails, the support contact on the app’s store page is the developer’s; we cannot see or reset TiviMate accounts.

How to Manage Activated Devices in TiviMate Companion

Open Companion and look for the section that lists your activated devices; the name may differ by app version. The listing says only that Companion “allows managing your activated devices”, without spelling out each option, so read the choices on screen before changing anything. The list is worth checking when you replace a Firestick or stop using a device, so you can see which devices your Premium is tied to and free a place for the new one. To carry your playlists and favourites across as well, use TiviMate backup and restore.

Can You Get TiviMate Companion on a Firestick or an iPhone?

The developer distributes Companion through Google Play, which runs on Android phones and tablets. A Firestick has no Google Play, and the developer’s own download on tivimate.com is for the TiviMate player, not for Companion, so plan on a phone rather than the stick itself. A search of the US App Store on 3 November 2026 found no app from Armobsoft FZE at all; apps there with TiviMate-like names come from other publishers. If you only have an iPhone, check the activation options TiviMate shows on the Firestick, which may differ by app version, or borrow any Android phone for the purchase.

What TiviMate Companion Is Not

  • Not a player. You watch in TiviMate on the TV device, which its listing describes as designed for Android TV and remote control navigation.
  • Not a TV guide. The EPG lives in the main TiviMate app. If your guide is empty or out of date, see how to fix the TiviMate EPG not updating.
  • Not a source of channels.The main app’s listing says a premium upgrade unlocks application features only and does not include, or provide access to, any channels, streams or media content. You add your own playlist from a provider; if you are choosing one, compare the Tivimate IPTV subscription plans.
  • Not an unofficial download.Companion is the developer’s own app on Google Play. Files elsewhere that claim to unlock Premium do not come from Armobsoft FZE.
