Which one should you use?
- On iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Android TV: Kyro Player. It installs from the official store and you log in directly in the app.
- On Samsung or LG Smart TVs: CR7 Player, because Kyro Player is not available there.
- On Fire TV Stick: CR7 Player works with sideloading.
Our honest take
We recommend Kyro Player where it is available, because there is no MAC address step and no website activation. CR7 Player is a good choice for Smart TVs where Kyro Player does not run yet.
