Kodi

Massively inferior way of watching movies. Streaming to begin with is a bad medium as it depends on your connection which for the most part depends on the weather. Apps within seem incapable of fast forward. Some not able to resume from where you leave off. When one app no longer works it's very difficult to install another. Guides on how are rarely accurate so too difficult to follow. Kodi itself has no auto update and manual update causes the apps with in to be deleted. No longer worth it at this point.

Works great if you know how to use it right. Bad reviews are because you need to learn how to use Kodi. Change look skin with interface settings. I hate the new look but you can download skins

Just checked to see if they have fixed the issues from 6 months ago. Still has the same crashing issues. Staying with 1 star. Obviously the maker doesn't check on here, and I'd like other people to be aware that cutting off your cable to substitute with this is a bad idea. Also keeps making me update the app. I have literally noticed no change. Still doesn't work worth a s**t

Thought app was so neat because you could catch up with your favorite shows but over time it has become aggravating because some of the channels will not let you watch all the way through without buffering. Really need to screen better!!

At the time of writing we are at version 17.6 and still 4k movies play very choppy and stuttering..as they have done from 17.0 onwards on all my devices.... Kodi 16 was way better . I use spmc a kodi fork based on 16 which plays everything perfectly

Had to uninstall 17.0 and reinstall Jarvis 16.1 I should have listened to the reviews about 17.0 it really does suck. Kodi 17.0 * Kodi 16.1 ***** ( more user friendly) avoid 17.6 this app has seriously gone downhill since koying left.

Decent app BUT needs to be polished up. I love the functionality and versatility of the app as you can make it do almost anything you desire when it comes to entertainment. Add ons were an excellent idea. I have a Samsung galaxy S8 and the app does not go full screen on it so I have two black bars on either side of my screen which is not nice to look at. If you could add support for the s8 screen ratio that would be great, same with watching videos if you could add a stretch option. The on-screen keyboard is tiny and I often tap the wrong letter and have to backspace which is very frustrating. The whole touchscreen tapping and scrolling mechanism is a little too sensitive and clunky but I understand the app is run open source and you rely on a community to do the best it can. Overall this app has great potential it just needs a tidy up.

Great app. But there is one MASSIVE turn off. I don't know if it's this version, or my device. But there is absolutely no audio that comes through headphones. My headphones are in perfect condition, so it's not that. Video audio - doesn't play. Interface audio - doesn't play (both work without headphones). But if this could be fixed, it would be amazing

Can't understand what everyone is complaining about . It works great on my Samsung Tab S2. I can access my media library which sits on a PC running Serviio (an old, version before they ruined it!). I do already have Kodi installed on a Raspberry Pi, so maybe being familiar with Kodi already helped a little.

It's OK but there is room for improvement. One of the annoying factors so far is that when you select an addon and instead of the one selected you will get the one next to it opening. Developers please take note of what is written here because this is the only way you are going to make Kodi 17 better. Listen to the people!! The latest update, 17.6, keep freezing!!

Was working great now all of a sudden i am trying to watch the last couple of episodes of a few series and it keeps showing the very first episode of the series. Have tried over a few days to watch the one i want but it keeps showing the wrong episode. Very frustrating

I am not interested in third party apps, but rather in core Kodi's functionality as a media server for locally stored video, music and image files. In my opinion, by far the best interface compared to Plex, Stremio, and other popular apps. Kudos to the XBMC team for their great work.

App not working on latest android update. Click on app but it will not start up, just freezes and goea to black screen. Will give 5 stars when working again. Galaxy S8+/Android 7.0

Now why on earth​ would you not have a back icon permanently on screen? After scrolling an unending list of movies, i have to scroll back up to the 3 dots to go back a page? What a waste of time! Fair enough if your phone has back button but pc and simple smart phones don't. Update needed?

Love this app. I've free been using for years, since it was xbmc. Sometimes I have issues with add-ons and getting videos to play but most the time it's great! New or old movies and shows, I don't think anyone can best kodi.... and... it's free!

to all users giving Kodi bad reviews. its not kodi its self that needs fixing its the specific addon you are using. These addons are the apps that are scraping for feeds and sources for your shows and movies not Kodi. I too have noticed that since TV Addons was taken down by "The Man" with the money others have taken over the repos. But access the streams is getting worse and developers of these new repos weed to fix their scrapers ASAP.

This app worked and I loved it soo much but now I got a new phone and downloaded it again so I can watch my shows and stuff and everything loads but when I go and click to watch the episode it will not let me watch it.. It will say it has a stream but when I click on it it says no stream available and doesnt let me watch it, such bullsh*t

Not even usable any more!!! Biggest POS!!! It gets worse with every update! Trying to use this on an Android phone is not the way to go. I have a Samsung s8 plus and still have issues. The interface needs serious work. I had an older version that worked better. The keyboard is slow and very inaccurate. The video player buttons aren't any better. I tried to pause a movie and it took me back to the main search menu. Very frustrating! A Fire stick with remote control may have better results.

All these people complaining about not being able to illegally pirate tv series and movies instead of using the app for what it was meant for, accessing local media. Very neat and looks good, will certainly recommend to others.

Im really hating this useless app. No matter what im trying to watch, movie or show, it always tells me no stream avaliable. What kind of bs is that.

Kodi is really a good app. I have it on my PC and I like it very much. Just the problem is that UI is same as PC and its not at all comfortable to use on mobile devices. SO I think changes should be made on UI for comfortable use on mobile devices.

YouTube has everything you need to make it work properly. I have netflix but I like this app better. Have it on my laptop and my Samsung S8!!! Can't love without ????

Ever since exodus went down, this app has stunk. Tried covenant; absolutely nothing streams and none of the fixes works. What a POS

Been using since XBMC many years back. For those complaining it's simple. Learn how to use it properly. It's not designed for illegal streams. If they aren't working any more put your hand in your pocket and pay for media.

Absolutely rubbish. Doesn't work with legal stuff like YouTube and BBC iPlayer, RT, Sky News. etc. It's only as good as it's most unreliable add-on and there are many. Clicking add-on uninstall doesn't work for instance.

Kodi is an amazing tool, and it works phenomenally on many devices, but unfortunately this version is absolutely broken. I use it for browsing media on my home server, and nothing else. It is impossible to navigate the UI for more than 30 seconds without a crash of some sort. If it worked as well as it does on even the simplest of android/linux boxes/SBCs (which have significantly worse hardware than a flagship Android phone), then this would be an easy 5 star.

Everytime I open the app, the loudest static plays from my phone / headphones regardless of the volume set. Has been unusable for months. Waited for another update via Android and this app, still nothing has been fixed.

Love the app, but now & lately the app has been tripping. It's getting to the point that I want to delete it. I choose not to though I just hope they fix the hiccups with the site!

Can't search for movies now. Uninstalling this messy hit and miss app. Used to work pretty good, now it sucks and you can't stream it to allcast etc. No movies or shows work.

Program is open source and empty upon installation. There are many supported and unsupported add-ons which give a variety of media upon installation. Great program if you know how to use it

When it works, it's great. I have very high speed internet, which is useless as every TV show I try to watch is constantly buffering. Surprisingly some movies will load in HD, no problems at all. TV shows tend to be a different story though.

I was greeted to Kodi with a blast of ear-shattering static audio through my headphones. At first I thought they had broken, until I closed Kodi and opened up YouTube. It seems that I get the loud static when I plug headphones in.

3 stars until they come up with an update to stop videos from cancelling after phone has been blocked. Really annoyed by that, but really good overall

UNINSTALL, no matter what stream 'I choose' it goes straight to a 720 regardless and freezing every 10 SECONDS. Went from love to hate

Very slow app and I have to keep tweaking it out. It is faster to Dr to Redbox and rent a movie without any hassle????

Kodi is great works fully add-ons work great I use it on my phones and smart tv but I can't download it on my old samsung tab 3 no more not even install it needs to be fixed to support all formats from android 4 to android 6 and higher

Empty. Absolutely empty. I read on all the hype, downloaded it on my phone to see what all the hype is about and nothing. There is nothing in it, it's absolutely empty. No music. No movies, no channels - nothing!!!

Absolutely woeful. A waste of data and time to which i won't be refunded so you should be ashamed of yourselves

Whenever I try to play a Kodi-streamed UPnp video it just stops or can't even see what the other Kodi (17.6) is sharing to the network.

Crashes upon trying to add a UPnP server (my nas box at home) ... So basically it cant do the one thing its built for...
