Do you use both your smartphone and PC mainly for entertainment? You should know that there are some platforms you should not miss, especially when we can use them interchangeably on these different devices. Kodi is one of the best, a perfect service to keep you entertained in front of the different screens in your home without needing great computer knowledge.

Kodi is nothing more than an entertainment center, which has the initial advantage of being completely free and open source, thanks to which we can access a huge amount of media to ensure our fun. From this characteristic of being free software, the users have worked on it, improving notoriously the initial characteristics it offered.

Operation

Although there are other derivatives of Kodi with different names, in this case, we will focus on it to say that it will allow you to enjoy functions ranging from watching movies to being able to follow your favorite TV shows in streaming. By now, you have probably noticed that it is based on Apple TV, and the truth is that there are many elements in common between the two.

And although we can limit ourselves to using Kodi only as a media player, the truth is that it has a superior power to the programs in this segment and adds features to become a complete entertainment center. It is fully compatible with most remote controls or keyboard shortcuts, so you can control it at will on any computer you run, whether Android or Windows.

Kodi will allow you to view all kinds of content since it has no limitations. You'll be able to launch from it both CDs and DVDs without major restrictions, or why not play back single video files or others that are compressed inside ZIP or RAR files? Of course, you can also play slideshows and listen to your favorite music if you want to.

And as if all this were not enough, Kodi also has some content that can be downloaded to complement the files we usually use, such as covers, movie synopses, or metadata to add them, so you never miss information.

TV lover? It is not only about being able to watch it thanks to Kodi, but it also has functions allowing you to record those programs. At the same time, they are being transmitted live, so you can even schedule these tasks to follow your favorite series when you come back from work or college without having to look for it in other services.

This application's user interface is undoubtedly one of the best if we compare it with other similar entertainment centers. It will allow you to move through well-designed menus from the aesthetic point of view without neglecting the functional aspect. It is a very intuitive and beautiful design, perfect even to leave the program open almost as wallpaper because it does not clash in any environment.

Another feature of Kodi that we liked is the level of customization offered by its interface, perfect for modifying each aspect until it is exactly what we need for the best possible user experience. Several skins are available, which do not make small changes but offer a completely different aesthetic, and some are more beautiful than the original interface.

The best

Kodi has many positive features, among which we must start with a spectacular visual aesthetic from the first moment and a navigation that is not only intuitive but also very fast compared to other services. To that, you have to add the compatibility for any audio, video, or entertainment file you want, and of course, the ability to watch TV and record your favorite programs.

The worst thing

None of the shortcomings or weaknesses of Kodi are enough to stop recommending this service. We clarify that before anything else. However, we believe it is appropriate to point out that it takes some time to customize or finish configuring this platform to take full advantage of its functions. Secondly, in the same vein, it may take some time to navigate through its menus, avoiding errors.

Rating

Kodi is one of the most famous entertainment centers for mobiles and computers today, and in fact, it is also one of the best. Its versatility, how fluid and beautiful it is all the time, the huge amount of content we can play on it, the advanced features that improve the experience of any user, and the ability to customize it in all aspects, have conquered us.
