Yes, you can watch Pure Flix on many televisions and streaming devices. Search your device’s app store for Pure Flix and, if it does not appear, try Great American Pure Flix. Install the official app, sign in with your Pure Flix email and password, and choose a subscription if the title is premium. Compatibility depends on the TV’s model, operating system, app-store region, and software version—not simply whether the television is described as “smart.”

What Pure Flix is

Pure Flix is a faith-centered streaming service featuring family-oriented films, series, originals, and selected live or special-event programming. The service and its apps may appear under either Pure Flix or Great American Pure Flix; these names do not necessarily indicate separate services. See the service overview at PureFlix.com and its programming page at Pure Flix Discover.

Check compatibility before installing

Pure Flix’s consolidated device guide is the best current reference when older installation pages show different requirements: official supported-device requirements.

Platform Requirement or limitation
Roku Roku OS 10.5 or later. Older Roku DVP, SD, HD, HD-XR, and XD families are excluded.
Amazon Fire TV Device released in 2017 or later, running Fire OS 6.0 or later.
Apple TV Fourth-generation or 4K model running tvOS 16.6 or later.
Samsung Smart TV 2020 or newer model running Tizen 5.0 or later; the support page specifies U.S.-only availability.
Android TV or Google TV device Android 10.0 or later with access to Google Play Store.
LG Smart TV webOS 4.0 or later and a 1080p-or-higher display. Pure Flix notes that some 2020-or-earlier LG models may be limited to 720p by system limitations.
Vizio TV 2016 or newer supported models using the V-Silicon chipset.
Chromecast Cast from a compatible Android or Apple phone or tablet on the same Wi-Fi network.
Windows or Mac computer Use a supported current browser. Linux is not directly supported, and Internet Explorer is unsupported.

iPhone and iPad support requires iOS 16.6 or later; Android phones and tablets require Android 5.0 or later. App availability can also vary by country and app-store account.

Pure Flix says a free account requires no credit card and provides selected free content and certain free events. Premium movies and shows still require an applicable paid plan: free-account details.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Paid plans

The public marketing page currently displays Standard at $9.99 per month, a Standard annual promotional display of $59.95 billed immediately, Premium at $14.99 per month, and Premium annual at $149.99 billed immediately: current plan display. A separate billing page lists Standard annual pricing as $89.99 per year. Because offers can differ by signup page, billing channel, promotion, taxes, or trial terms, verify the final total and billing frequency at the official signup page.

Fix common problems

The app is missing from the store

  1. Search both Pure Flix and Great American Pure Flix.
  2. Update the television or streaming device software.
  3. Restart the device.
  4. Check the exact model, operating system, and region against the compatibility page.
  5. Use a supported Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, or HDMI-connected computer if the built-in platform is unsupported.
  6. Contact Pure Flix support if a qualifying model still cannot find the app.

“Subscription Required” appears

Sign out, sign back in with the email used for the membership, check the spelling and password, and try the title again. A free account will not unlock subscription-only programming. See Pure Flix error-message guidance.

Sign-in fails

  • Confirm the Pure Flix account email rather than the TV-platform email.
  • Reset the password and retry.
  • Wait briefly if repeated failures temporarily locked the account.
  • Test the credentials in a browser.
  • Check whether billing is handled by Apple, Google Play, Roku, or another provider.

Fire TV playback or app errors

  1. Check for Fire OS updates.
  2. Force-stop Pure Flix.
  3. Clear app data, then clear the cache.
  4. Uninstall the app.
  5. Unplug the Fire device for 60 seconds.
  6. Reinstall and sign in again.

Buffering or playback stops

No universal current bandwidth figure is established in the cited guidance. Restart the app and device, update software, test another supported device, use Ethernet where available, and improve the Wi-Fi signal by repositioning the router or player.

Which way should you use?

Option Best fit Main trade-off
Built-in TV app Your model meets the OS, region, and app-store requirements. Older TV hardware or regional stores may prevent installation.
Roku Simple dedicated interface or an existing Roku household. Older Roku models are excluded; Roku-direct billing has a separate cancellation path.
Fire TV Amazon users wanting an HDMI-connected player. Requires 2017-plus hardware and Fire OS 6.0 or later.
Apple TV Households using iPhone, iPad, AirPlay, or Apple services. Apple-billed subscriptions must be managed through Apple.
Chromecast Existing Chromecast owners comfortable controlling playback from a phone. Phone and Chromecast must share Wi-Fi; it is not necessarily a standalone TV app.
Computer by HDMI A low-cost fallback when no supported TV app is available. Depends on browser, cable, display settings, and keeping the computer nearby.

Cancel through the correct billing channel

Subscriptions purchased directly through PureFlix.com

  1. Sign in at PureFlix.com.
  2. Open the account or profile icon and choose Manage Account.
  3. Open Subscriptions.
  4. Select the gear icon beside the active plan.
  5. Choose Cancel Plan and complete the confirmation prompts.

Cancellation stops future billing; access generally continues through the current billing or trial period. Full instructions are at Pure Flix cancellation information.

Third-party billing

  • Apple subscriptions: cancel through Apple, as explained at Apple billing support.
  • Google Play subscriptions: cancel through Google Play using Google billing support.
  • Roku-direct subscriptions: cancel through the Roku device or Roku account.
  • Subscriptions supplied through FrndlyTV or another provider: cancel with that provider.

If no cancellation button appears, the plan may already be inactive, tied to another email, or billed by a third party.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pure Flix free?

A free account provides selected free content and certain free events. Subscription-only movies and shows require a paid membership.

Can I watch Pure Flix without a smart TV?

Yes. Use a supported Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast with a phone or tablet, or a Windows/Mac computer connected to the television by HDMI.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Is Great American Pure Flix the same app as Pure Flix?

The app-store label may be either name. Search for both names and select the official Pure Flix app.

How many devices can use one account?

Pure Flix says a household can use up to five different devices. That wording does not confirm five simultaneous streams, and separate user profiles are not currently offered.

Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
