Yes Downloader is available in Google Play store on the device. And yes you can install 3rd party apps BUT for some reason, which I haven't been able to figure out, some 3rd party apps never show up in the apps list. You actually have to go all the way into device settings to your installed apps and look for the app and open/manage it from there. Plus, there is no "recently used apps" list on the home screen like there is on Fire TV Stick. If there were then the apps not showing up in the regular apps list wouldn't be so much of a problem. Also, keep in mind there are no play, ffw/Rew buttons on the remote which is very inconvenient, along with volume buttons being on the side of the remote.
