Stremio is a powerful tool, but it can be complex to set up with addons, keys, and configurations. Vlix is designed to be "plug and play". You don't need to configure scrapers or buy Debrid keys. You just ask the AI for what you want to watch, and it plays.

Why use the Native App instead of the Web App?

This FAQ is outdated! We now recommend the Web App for all users.

In the past, native apps were required for full ad-blocking. However, the Vlix Web App now supports 100% suppression of popups and overlays, making it the best way to experience Vlix on any device.
