Ratings and reviews

This app appears to now be busted on older Pro models (not responding to the app), it still appears to work on my newer "tube" model. The app works well, especially when using the keyboard over a Bluetooth keyboard, which even allows you to copy & paste from your phone or use dictation. Unfortunately with it currently not working on my primary Shield TV device, I don't see that I will be using it much anymore...

Great hardware hindered by terrible software. The Nvidia shield is by far the best stream box I've used, yet it's plagued by an app that half-works. Disconnecting from the shield after MAYBE 5 minutes of inactivity, causing you to restart the app and wait for it to reconnect. It has lackluster Google home support, which also sometimes just doesn't work and you end up having to reconnect to the service. Can't launch app on power on either.

It works, at first. But I have to close it and reopen the app constantly if I do anything else on my phone other than use the app. Three stars may even be generous So I'm changing it to two since it really doesn't work correctly. I had given it three stars because you could tell it has potential always has, but it's always been glitchy with many Samsung phones. I'm just tired of backing out of the app just to reboot it to hit pause. Screw that, switched over to Google TV app which works better.
