In this updated best working Kodi addons list for 2018, you will find addons to cover pretty much all of your needs from streaming to smart home applications. A Kodi addon is a package which brings new features and functionality to the Kodi media center. Although many addons provide legitimate content from official sources, addons are all community-sourced. Therefore, these may not function properly on occasion.

Long gone are the days when Kodi was just a platform for watching movies. Nowadays you can integrate many applications and possible uses within your Kodi media center. This is possible thanks to a plethora of add-ons that can be used with this software. From the usual movies and TV shows streaming, to gaming directly on Kodi and even controlling your home, the world of Kodi addons is seemingly endless. We show you in this list what are the 93 top Kodi addons that are working currently (April 2018) as well as a brief description of each. Let's get into it.

How to install Kodi addons

Before we start talking about the addons themselves, it makes sense to how to install Kodi addons. So let's do that first. Installing Kodi addons is fairly simple. You can accomplish this feat through several means:

Via repositories - these contain a group addons Zip files - zipped addon file GitHub Browser addon

Moreover, within repository installs, you can use the official Kodi addon repository or third party addon repositories.

1. Install Kodi addons from repositories

On Kodi v16 and earlier, select System > Addons. Then, choose Install from Repository > Kodi Addon Repository > [Addon Type]. From here, select the addon type such as video addons or music addons. After that, scroll down to the addon you'd like to install.

With Kodi v17 and later opt for Addons> Addon Browser. Now, click Install from Repository > Kodi Addon Repository. Again, pick the addon type, i.e. video addons. Finally, scroll down to your desired addon.

For a third-party repository, you'll need to add the specific repo. To do this, head to Settings > File Manager > Add Source. You'll see a box that reads "none" >. Type in your desired repo URL.

2. Install Kodi addons from zip file

Many of the best new Kodi addons are available as zip files which you may install. To install Kodi addons from zip files, you'll need a zip file of your Kodi addon in a known location accessible from within Kodi (eg. a USB drive).

Kodi v16 and earlier users, navigate to System > Addons. Next, pick Install from zip file. After that, locate the directory where your zip file resides and select that file.

Kodi v17 and later users, choose Addons> Addon Browser. Then, select Install from zip file. Once that's complete, find your desired zip file in its directory.

3. Install Kodi addons with GitHub browser addon

Development of many Kodi addons happen on GitHub. You may use the GitHub browser addon to install Kodi addons as well. GitHub browser addon makes several addons easy to find and install. It is very easy and convenient to use.

On Kodi v17, go to Settings > File Manager > Add Source. After that, a box appears with "none" >. Input the URL http://fusion.tvaddons.co/ and hit OK. Return to the home screen. Now, head to the Addons page and pick Install from Zip File. Choose TV Addons > Begin-here > plugin.program.indigo-4.0.0.zip. With that complete, again return to the home screen and scroll to Addons > Video Addons > Indigo. After that, select Addon Installer > GitHub Browser. You'll see a pop up box with instructions on how to use the GitHub Browser addon for Kodi. Close this box and you'll see options for installing addons via GitHub addon ID, GitHub username, or repository title. [Read: How to install Indigo addon on Kodi: Maintenance, Streaming and more]

However, installation is a bit different for Kodi v16 and earlier. Head to System > File Manager > Add Source. Next, in the "none" field, input http://fusion.tvaddons.co/ . Give the repo a name and hit Done. Then, head to Kodi Home > System > Addons. After that, pick Install from Zip File > TV Addons > begin-here > plugin.program.indigo-4.0.0.zip. Return to the home screen, open Indigo, and click Addon Installer > GitHub Browser. Once again, you'll see the how to use box. Close this, and you may search via GitHub addon ID, username, or repo title.

Are Kodi addons safe

There's been a lot of chatter about the legality of Kodi and Kodi addons. First off, Kodi itself is completely legal. It offers no content directly, and it's similar to a web browser in that all content is delivered through third-parties. If you access copyrighted material via a website, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox are not at fault. [Read: Are Kodi addons safe? Some of them might harm your HTPC]

Accessing third-party addons does not reflect on Kodi, but rather on the source. Some third-party addons provide pirated content, and we here at SmartHomeBeginner do not condone the use of pirate streaming. Regardless of what you stream, it's often best to use a VPN or DNS service to anonymize your streaming.
