Ha Ha, its one of the risks of being a reviewer and sticking your neck out @hdmkv. Hard to please the masses, even though you give your best. A thankless task really.
I believe half the problems are unrealistic high user expectations from people here on the Kodi forums when what are being used are after all budget media players.
Expecting any brand new box using an unfamiliar Chipset for software engineers to develop on is never going to go smoothly right out of the gate.
Thats a given, and one of the golden rules. Give a device about a year to bug fix and then reassess it, especially if its coming from a smaller resourced developer. For that very reason IMHO awarding any shiny new box, from a relatively small developer, one with an unfamiliar chipset (for the Brand), an A is always fraught with peril. Very much so as time passes and bugs are discovered.
