X99 Max+ TV Box Review
I love it when a TV box developer puts real effort in producing a TV box, and the X99 Max+ TV Box is just that. This TV box surprised me because it is such a big improvement its previous models. This TV box motivated me to take a really close look at its features and I discovered some really cool features. This is by no means the best mid-range TV box but I believe it is the the best mid-range TV Box for the price. Priced just below $60 the X99 Max+ is a really cool TV box to buy.

Conclusion
In my detailed analysis of this TV box I must say I have a soft spot for it. I just really get excited when a TV get really innovative when no one expects it. This box has 95% of the features seen in Ugoos top boxes and I say that darn good for a dark horse TV box. I am expecting great things from X99 Max in the future and I hope they don’t fall into an abyss like H96 Max and start producing low quality boxes on poor performing CPUs like Allwinner and some of the Rockchip low-end processors. Good job X99 Max, keep it up and you just might top the chart soon.
Is it possible to add notification bar or navigation bar if the tv box do not have them?
Yes you can

The controller I bought as a combo with it doesn’t work with it. tried for hours and hours and hours and wasted a bunch of time trying to get this thing f****ng work right or update and absolutely no where I got with it
