How to Install Innovation Kodi Builds

In this tutorial, you will find the easy instructions to download and install the Innovation Builds on Kodi 18.5 Leia and Kodi 17.6 Krypton. You can install this build on all the Kodi compatible devices including FireStick, Android TV Boxes, Computers, Mobiles, etc.

As I write this guide, Innovation Builds Wizard has two builds each for Kodi 18 and Kodi 17.6. However, I liked its Colors Family build enough to write this guide and also to include it in our list of Best Kodi Builds.

Innovation Kodi Builds are simple and moderately sized. The interface is intuitive and allows for easy navigation. These builds offer decent performance on all devices. They also have a solid library of addons for streaming movies, shows, live TV, sports and content for Kids.

Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons / Builds, I would like to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, Sports) might get you into legal trouble.

Kodi users are strongly advised to connect a VPN while streaming. A VPN for Kodi will bypass ISP throttling, Government Surveillance, and geo-restriction on popular Add-ons. I always connect ExpressVPN on all my streaming devices and I suggest you do the same.

ExpressVPN is the fastest and most secure VPN. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it freely for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for the full refund.

NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of the copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.

So, before you start streaming on Kodi, here's how to get VPN protection in 3 simple steps.

Step 1: Get the ExpressVPN subscription HERE.

Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your device.

Step 3: Click the Power icon to connect a VPN server. That's all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.

How to Use Innovation Builds on Kodi: A Quick Overview

Innovation Builds are simple looking with a straightforward interface. The build loads up when you run Kodi after the installation.

Give the build a few minutes to finish the updates. This is important for the proper functioning of the build.

Here is the home window of the build:

The Innovation Colors Family build features the following main-menu categories on the home window: Movies, TV Shows, Kiddos, AIO, Apps, System, Live TV, and Sports

The related content or items line up on the screen depending upon the chosen main menu option.

The build features some top Kodi addons including Nole Cinema, Numbers, Seren, SportsDevil, The Magic Dragon and more.

The addon count isn’t that high, but there are still plenty of streaming options.

The build is moderately-sized allowing satisfactory performance on all sorts of devices, including FireStick and other low-RAM, low-spec devices.

Wrapping Up

The Innovation Builds Wizard has just two builds to offer presently. That’s not a big number. However, both builds offer decent Kodi experience. The Colors Family build is a great option for those who are looking for something light and functional.

The Innovation Kodi builds also offer a small, yet solid line-up of addons. Whether you like to stream movies, shows, live TV or sports, you will find many various options. We have also included Innovation to our list of Best Kodi Builds.
