If you like the Apple TV interface, then you will probably love the SIO2 skin because it resembles Apple's interface and it somehow offers the same functionality. The developer for the SiO2 skin made this skin with the intention to put the least amount of clicks between you and the content you want to watch, and i believe that he did a great job because you can start watching a new movie, or play a new song in no time. Because of that, you don't have the customizability options other skins have but keep in mind that SiO2 was created to be a minimalist and easy to use Kodi skin, so that's why it's on the list for the best Nvidia Shield TV Kodi skins 2017.
