Ratings and reviews

Fantastic application, fast, efficient, technical yet not overwhelming. Great for navigating local libraries on Android devices. Love that it's open source. Issue is sometimes it doesn't play movies on my Google TV device. could be that it's having a hard time parsing the 1TB+ of content, or the video/audio codecs. The same videos play just fine in VLC. So I use NOVA to navigate the content, and VLC to play. Also the play in other app feature does not work and I have to manually swap to VLC

Bada$$ app love this app ^5 to the developers. I have had plex for years but the audio in playback is awful voices are so low explosions are to loud. I wanted a app to stream my library to my firesticks. This app works great even has meta data just index and it loads the cover art. I have used this on my tablet firesticks and phones. Be nice if I could share my library outside my network like plex but still this app is great 👍 and no Ads even better! Oh and it has audio boost too.

Easy to setup interface. For me the video player is unusable as it keeps randomly stopping video playback and goes back to the menu. Thankfully it's easy to replace the video player choice, but it would be great if the built in player worked better. The built in player is so far the only player I found that will auto play the next video in a directory.
