It’s not illegal to own Kodi or to use it, but what’s problematic is how to get it in the first place. It is not available on the Apple App Store, though, so it’s unauthorized for installation on any iOS device, at least not via Apple. So, what’s special about it? Kodi has evolved as a universal streaming app that works on almost any device and can play almost any media file format. It lets you play and view videos, music, podcasts, and other digital media derived from local or network storage and online.
But then there’s Kodi, a free, open-source, multiplatform app formerly known as Xbox Media Player or Xbox Media Center (XBMC), now run by the XBMC Foundation. If you’re a fan of streaming media, you’re familiar with the usual suspects: Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, YouTube, and many more that can stream a program or movie your way in exchange for a subscription, pay-per-view, or even for free.
