About this app

Easily receive NDI streams on your Android device. Supports video and audio in both portrait and landscape mode.

This app presents a list of NDI streams that are available on your local network. Simply tap on the source to begin streaming the video and audio from that source.

The latest NDI 5 standard is supported. Full NDI should be supported on almost all devices. HX2 is only available where the device supports decoding.

NDI is a low latency streaming format. Full NDI sources require a fast network. We recommend using a WiFi 6 network or using a wired ethernet connection.

To test whether this app will support your source without subscribing first, please do the following. Open the app. Select the source. If you are able to view the moving video of your source under the box and at the edges of the screen and hear the audio from the source, then the source should be supported by the app. If you do not see any moving video, then the source is likely not supported.

Ratings and reviews

BS a subscription just to monitor a stream. I can understand for capturing to wan servers. I can understand a small one time fee for the camera app to send the stream to lan servers. Besides the business model, doesn't work great. Kept getting double, out of syc, audio. Since couldn't quickly check on my phone, verfied on a second OBS pc it wasn't the stream but the app.

it works but... there's a couple major usability issues. With audio enabled, if you rotate the device with a stream open it adds another copy of the audio stream and you end up with an "echo" effect. The other issue is that there's no rescaling of the output, at least for resolutions smaller than the device display. 1080p on my device isn't bad, only a small border. but my 720p stream... it's for ants and there's no basic zoom support. needs a pinch in and out gesture for scale to fit and 1:1.

The app is slow and inconsistent. Even pressing "back" on my phone causes a multi second delay before actually going back. Also, there is a monthly subscription fee and no free trial. The screen has a huge red watermark covering 90% of the NDI source, so it's rather unusable without paying for a subscription.
