What is Mobdro?

Mobdro offers similar streaming services as Kodi, but it’s also quite different from Kodi on so many levels.

Unlike Kodi which is an open-source software developed to offer support for third-party add-ons and plugins across multiple platforms and devices, Mobdro is an all exclusive Android application that’s a streaming search engine which offers a bunch of live broadcasts.

Some of these don’t contain any streams that infringe upon any copyright. However, there is a large number of Mobdro streams that features premium TV channels, premium sports streams, and movies.

It lists all these streams in useful categories. The sources of these streams come from all around the world and offered in multiple languages. Which means that you can find a different language of the same content in the Mobdro app, it’s a great feature for people who do not speak/understand the English language and want content in their native languages.

Users can simply scroll through the live streams from within the Mobdro app which can be easily downloaded from their official website. It only works on Android smartphones and tablets with Android version 4.1 and above.
You will have to enable installation of apps from unknown sources on your Android device before you can install the app.

Features

This streaming app provides users with a good number of categories to choose from for live streaming. These include Channels, News, Shows, Movies, Sports, Music, Gaming, Animals, Tech, Podcasts, Spiritual, & Others.
After you select a channel for watching, a few settings are available to use.

You can also add a Channel or just a Show/movie to your favorites, change the live stream language, and even record a stream for watching later. Do remember that recording will take up storage on your device. However, recording your favorite content through Mobdro is a great feature which lets you watch some Live TV content at a later time.

There is an extensive search option available in the Mobdro app that lets you search for our favorite shows, stream, and movies. Since this Android-based streaming app is made for touch devices, it’s not as intuitive on a Fire Stick or Fire TV, so you must install a mouse toggle on the device to get the most out of the app.

With this installed, you can now use the search bar and much more within Mobdro.

Other awesome features that are available on Mobdro include, but not limited to Parental controls, Language options, hardware coding, etc. Using these options you can enhance your overall viewing experience.

Even though this app is a great source for watching your favorite TV shows live, it’s not always the most reliable. Sometimes, you will run into buffering and streaming problems and a bit of lag. Since it’s a free service, some channel may not even play.

But, Overall it’s a great alternative to Kodi if you are looking for one. Mobdro provides a simple and easy to use interface that is perfect for newbies who are looking to watch their favorite content on their devices.

Is Mobdro Legal and Safe?

Is Mobdro Legal? Is it safe to use? Do I need a VPN for Mobdro? These are some of the top questions that newbies often have regarding this app.

We will try to answer all of these questions so you can understand clearly if Mobdro is safe and legal to use on your Android device or any other device where you want to use Mobdro for entertainment purposes.

Is Mobdro Safe?

To provide a short answer, Yes, Mobdro is 100% safe to use and download. However, you need to be very careful when downloading the Mobdro app.

You should only download it from the official website of the app. Don’t download it from anywhere else, not even Google Play/Amazon app store. Just download the official Mobdro APK from their website and install it from there.

Unofficial sites might deliver malware to your device so avoid downloading it from any unofficial sources. It’s mainly designed for Android phones/tablets, but there are ways to install Mobdro on Fire Stick and/or Amazon Fire TV as well.

Is it Legal?

This is quite a tricky question. Right now, you can say that this streaming application lies in quite the gray area. It’s isn’t officially available through Google Play store which means there’s some grayhat/blackhat aspect to it.

However, the official Terms and Services section on their website has some interesting parts as follows.

Mobdro is an application for Android devices that enables users to crawl the web for free streams, arrange them by category and capture them in order to watch them. Mobdro has no control whatsoever nor may it be held liable for the content or location of the streams, which shall be the sole responsibility of the pages on which they are hosted.

So, it means that Mobdro is not responsible for what type of content gets delivered through their app which means if you get in any kind of trouble, you will be on your own. They do not promote the use of copyrighted content on the Mobdro app so it’s mostly what’s already available that gets fetched onto the app.

So, it’s better to be safe than sorry. You should never use services like Mobdro without a VPN. Always make sure that you are connected to a secure VPN server before you start streaming via Mobdro or any other streaming app.

If you are not using a VPN when accessing Mobdro then you are at the risk. Your privacy is always at risk when using online services like these. Hackers, government, your ISP, anyone else can be watching or monitoring your online activities, so it’s better to hide your identity online and secure your privacy through a VPN.
