The apps are optimized for the latest operating systems released by Apple, Google, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and Samsung TV.
To ensure the best performance and user experience, our native apps may not be fully functional on older operating systems. We strongly advise keeping your devices updated to the most recent software versions.
ℹ️ INFO: For optimal performance, we recommend using the latest 2-3 OS versions available for your device.
Please note that once a manufacturer, like Apple, ceases support for a device or operating system, we will also discontinue support for it.
📝 NOTE: We constantly update our apps to keep up with the latest device operating systems, which may eventually affect functionality on older devices.
Recommended OS Versions
For reference, here are the mobile and TV operating systems our native apps currently support:
Mobile Apps:
Android: OS 11 or later
iOS: iOS 16.7.5 or later
TV Apps:
tvOS: Apple TV 4th generation or later (tvOS 17 or later)
Android TV: OS 11 or later
Fire TV: OS 9 or later - Please note that the 1st and 2nd generation Fire TV devices, as well as Fire TV Sticks, are not compatible with the Uscreen app due to hardware limitations that prevent updates to the required OS versions.
Note: At this time, Amazon Fire TV devices based on Vega OS are not supported.
Roku: 2016 Devices or Newer
Samsung TV: Tizen 6.5.0 or later (typically 2022 models onwards)
📝 NOTE: If a device is encountering an issue and running an older version than the ones listed above, please update your device and try again.
Important Notes
We do not officially support Huawei phones, as newer Huawei models don't have the Google Play Store, while EMUI 12 or lower (based on Android 10/11 or lower) may cause playback issues.
App stores like Huawei's AppGallery or 3rd party app stores are also not supported.
📝 NOTE: As a result of U.S. sanctions, most older Huawei models can no longer receive official Google (Android) updates and services. For newer models, Huawei developed its own operating system, HarmonyOS, which is not based on the Google-owned version of Android and is used in place of it.
Fire TV Compatibility
Why isn’t the Uscreen App Compatible with Older Fire TV Devices?
The Uscreen app leverages Amazon’s latest developer tools and requires newer Fire TV operating system (OS) versions to function. Unfortunately, older Fire TV models, such as the 1st- and 2nd-generation Fire TV devices and Fire TV Sticks, do not meet these requirements because their hardware does not support updates to the latest OS versions.
Workarounds for Incompatible Devices:
Try a Web Browser: You can log in to Uscreen via a supported browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari to access content.
Upgrade to a Newer Fire TV Device: Using a newer Fire TV Stick or Fire TV model ensures compatibility and optimal app performance.
Use Casting Options: If supported, cast videos to your TV using tools like Chromecast or AirPlay.
