What to Know About the Best Kodi Addons:

• Addons explained: Kodi addons are similar to the apps you download on phones and tablets, but they’re installed within the open-source media player Kodi.
• Installation process: You can install a few addons — like BBC iPlayer and Pluto TV — within Kodi itself in the official Kodi repository. However, for other addons like Netflix, you must download a repository file from a third party and install it manually.

Although certain third-party Kodi repositories, addons and builds are very popular, some may have security or privacy issues, or contain links to pirated content. To keep out of trouble, it’s best to stick to official content from reputable sources that don’t break copyright laws. Streaming pirated content could land you in hot water depending on local laws.

Cloudwards does not verify the legality of the content found in addons and does not condone pirated content. If you use third-party addons, double up on protection with antivirus software (to protect against malware) and a VPN (to hide your data from your ISP, hackers, snoopers, etc.) just in case.
