The clients are front-ends that allow you to interact with your content.
When you install the Kodi app, you are generally installing a full version of Kodi itself, and this has some implications. Typically, the user interface is appropriately scaled for a device such as a mobile phone or a television. As it’s more than just a simple client, it’s a bit heavy on resources. Some aspects of a setup can be copied across, but you largely set up each installation from scratch. On the plus side, nearly every platform you can think of is supported, from Firestick to iPad to desktop PC, even though some platforms may struggle to run it.
