Ratings and reviews

The best media player out there, I guarantee it! No bot here.. 5 stars I use this application for all my media consumption. I download a movie/Mp4 on my 1TB SD plug up and the Nova software automatically picks it up gives me a poster the trailer and the information that comes with can even change the background look up each and every individual TV show or movie Once selected where is the option to search for subtitles for the movies that is not in English automatically online once selected 5st

Love, this app! Wanted to thank the developer(s) for creating & continuing to support it! Because I have an unusually large collection of movies, tv shows etc. it takes a very long time for the app to find the info tags & sort all the videos, however I absolutely love using it. I occasionally accidentally delete the data instead of the cache & have a couple of days worth of reorganizing to do. That is 100% my fault. My only grip is it doesn't always save where I left off nor put in recently watc

It is the Best player for Android TV, I use for years. The Audio is Great compared to default player, even better than VLC. Download subtitle option is nice and works for most of the titles (Even for regional too). Only problem recently am facing is it's not detecting the new videos loaded on the attached Hard drive. I had to initiate Rescan storage, rescrape manually. Wish it has option to customize the interface background color and tile sizes.
