PEGI 3

Kodi® media center is an award-winning free and open source cross-platform software media player and entertainment hub for digital media for HTPCs (Home theater PCs). It uses a 10-foot user interface designed to be a media player for the living-room, using a remote control as the primary input device. Its graphical user interface (GUI) allows the user to easily browse and view videos, photos, podcasts, and music from a harddrive, optical disc, local network, and the internet using only a few buttons.

IMPORTANT:

This means that you should provide your own content from a local or remote storage location, DVD, Blu-Ray or any other media carrier that you own. Additionally Kodi allows you to install third-party plugins that may provide access to content that is freely available on the official content provider website. Any other means of watching illegal content which would otherwise be paid for is not endorsed or approved by Team Kodi.

Estuary is the new standard skin and is designed to be fast and user friendly.
With the skin Estouchy, Kodi has now been enhanced to better work with larger 5" or up phones and tablets. Kodi is not designed or recommended for use with smaller phones.

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

David Noel

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.

Heather Farningham

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.

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

Peter Harley

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!!

Bazza L.

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.

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?

Paul Nossenko November 21, 2017

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

Nicolai Mendonca December 28, 2017

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.

katrina barker December 28, 2017

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.

XBMC Foundation December 27, 2017

Stop pirating

Aditya Kumar December 24, 2017

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.

December 28, 2017

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.

Suleyman Akhundov December 29, 2017

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.

Francheska King November 29, 2017

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!!

Brian Acuff December 14, 2017

I can't give a negative rating so you get one star because when I send everything to the garbage to clear out RAM, your app needs to go, also. A stupid media app has no business bypassing that function.

Candice Kitchens December 5, 2017

Dont updates used to work well now it doesn't videos won't load or they will load with no sound no stream available lots of times and also shows that I was already watching on there have now somehow disappeared and can't find them

Savannah Gonzalez November 24, 2017

When I use it on my laptop it works fine, but when I try to use it on my phone, the only audio I get is very loud static. Once this is resolved it'll receive the five stars I would have given it before the problem started occurring.

Business Account December 28, 2017

Works very good if you set it right which is easy watch some good youtube video & done. Keep up the good work. Mores. More. Thank you. It's already 2018 add cast to any supported devices example tv?

Eduardo Eddy December 6, 2017

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

Dean Henn December 2, 2017

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

Sean Callaghan December 16, 2017

The app used to work great, but about a month ago it went downhill. All I get when I open the app is a black screen

Ali Hunt December 6, 2017

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

bobbi wiggins December 10, 2017

How do I get to watch movies on this? Is there something else I need to download I'm on a Android phone

Ricky D November 29, 2017

App doesnt even start! Rubbish

Josh Crowder December 2, 2017

Horrible user interface. Buffering movies. More hassle than it's worth. There's much easier free entertainment than this.

Austin Mericer December 11, 2017

I usually love this app it's a 5 star app but I can't get it to run. I open it and Kodi immediately closes or freezes

Daryl Carter December 18, 2017

Anyone else have headphone Jack issues when using this ass. Loud static sound

Jesse Godfrey November 21, 2017

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

Delorean Dorsey December 13, 2017

I love it and for all you cry babies nothing is wrong with this app it works perfect you all just don't know what the hell your doing if you did everything right you will say the same thing

BlGBADDAD4 December 11, 2017

I keep getting a error for the backup addon from programs. Its not working. Please fix.

Nicholas Chimenti November 27, 2017

Since androids new update all it tells me is no sources

Ryan Standring December 15, 2017

Great app but at the moment with new android update has made it awful crashes trying to start up and if you can get it started it takes about 5 minutes to get on to an add-on so can you guy fix and release the update please

Stefanos Maragkakis November 27, 2017

Only thing is that i almost got a heart attack when i used my headphones. Something to do with the audio settings. It makes this weird loud high pitched noise that makes you jump like a cat

Ashlee-james Aspin January 3, 2018

Not as functional as it is on other devices. Trying to change the view in covenant I don't have the swipe in from left feature to do this. The keyboard is too small to do anything with. Everything is really jumpy every menu slides when it shouldn't. It seems a little slow compared to other devices.

December 5, 2017

Well 2 updates later and still havent addressed the audio jack static feedback issue. Cannot use kodi app with headphones inserted. Hey developers what gives?

lord pain December 12, 2017

When i first downloaded it it was slow but it was better than nothing but now it just stopped working, it freezes on the grey screen as soon as i open the app

Danielle Hofmann December 22, 2017

Everytime I try use my earphone I get a very loud static noise. I can not place it near my ears. This only happened after an update. I have samsung S6

Nourz Hadid December 25, 2017

Quyền Nguyễn November 27, 2017

Awesome app, but after 1day it not start on my Sony 43x7500e, I uninstall and install again, but still that

James Maupin December 11, 2017

I literally can't watch anything. It's just constant buffering no matter what. And then sometimes when it does play, it stutters and plays no sounds. Literally the worst.
