It is easy to install Kodi for Android. The app is available on Google Play Store. Google Play selects the version of Kodi that you need. Unless you change settings it will automatically update it as well. The first time you download Kodi it will take longer but after that it is fast to open. You can find and download add-ons like Reddit and YouTube and other international catalogues and medial sharing websites. Your Android apps may be automatically linked with Kodi in the Add-ons menu.

Kodi uses identical 10-foot user interface design with larger text and elements than a desktop in all its versions. You can enjoy bigger pictures and read bigger subtitles.
