Other Fusion Kodi Alternatives
2 other good Fusion Kodi alternatives such as Smash Repo or SuperRepo are:
- Official Kodi Add-on Repositoy
- Kodil
The official Kodi Add-on Repository is a great source for all your Addons. Although perhaps the best place to search and install Addons, the official Kodi Addon Repo might be a bit overwhelming. And for the reason that it states all Kodi Addons available some (read many) of the addons don’t work or don’t work as they should. With Smash Repo and SuperRepo being less elaborate in choice, the quality of these links are mostly (not always) better. Don’t be afraid of trying, but also don’t get frustrated is they don’t work. To start looking for good Addons, find a great Top 15 Kodi Live TV addons here.
The same goes with Kodil as a Fusion Kodi Alternative. However the links are extensive and there is a lot to choose from, the quality is not always consistent. We would suggest to install first Smash Repo or SuperRepo. And next when you are more experienced just try Kodil. It has a lot more to offer, however you need to be a bit more experienced to make the most out of its usage.
