Kodi 16.1 crashing on Android 4.4.2

So my friend had kodi 16.1 on his Galaxy tab 3 and was working fine.
He has reset his tablet back to factory settings and asked me to put kodi back on for him.
I downloaded the 16.1 apk and installed it.
When opened it brings up the first screen and says ‘preparing for first run’ then goes blank and crashes saying ‘unfortunately kodi has stopped working’

Can anyone help me out please, I figured a clean install on a freshly wiped tablet would be pretty straight forward. Apparently not

Thanks
