I love NFB films and have been impressed with how polished the app is. The only thing that's missing, unless I just can't find it, is the ability to log in to your NFB account in the app (for example, to be able to sync lists, etc.). Update: thank you to the developers for replying re the planned changes. Looking forward to them!

I really enjoy the classic Canadian Vignettes videos. Childhood memories! Thanks for making these available! I will show them to my nephew and educate him in some Canadian television history! Unfortunately, this app is not compatible with my nVidia Shield Pro. As such, I have had to deduct 1 star from my rating. Developers, if you're reading this, please make it work on the Shield! Fullscreen mode works perfectly for me on 3 separate devices, an S9+, an S20 Ultra, and a Tab S4. I suspect the other users whose reviews indicate they are having problems are experiencing a PEBKAC error.

Edit: problem resolved and captioning is fixed. No closed captioning.. I contacted support via the Chromecast app because I cannot find the settings for Captioning. The response was as follows: "Hello, Thank you for your email, The option is at the bottom right of the video player. " There aren't any settings on the video/video player/Chromecast or on the phone app. I followed up the email with screenshots showing the problem and I got no response. Disappointed.

I love watching NFB films. However, I have 2 complaints with this app. First, I used to use the search function and it worked fine. Now I have a new phone and suddenly the search function doesn't work. I search for titles I KNOW are on the site, but the search comes up as the title being non-existent. Second, I saved several titles to my favourites, only to find that the entire list had been erased the next day. This also happened at least 2 or 3 times on my old phone as well as on my new phone.

So many problems. Junk app. Apps freeze even on powerful phone. No ways to choose language for a movie even if the movie is available in many language. Search is broken, you can't find a movie by director's name.. and by the title? You have one chance on 2 that it will just not show in search result. This app is a shame knowing is made by our taxes.

Last update fixed for me the crashing problem (white screen issue). Work very well now. And I can cast without issue. Thanks! (Old review: Keep crashing on my samsung s10e, and it is really unfortunate because otherwise what ONF Haas put together is fantastic. I would really wish to be able to enjoy it from my phone.)

It would be great if the app could connect to my NFB website account, so that: 1. I can sync my playlists 2. Use my university's access to campus films on the mobile app The last update was in November 2023, and it was only for some translations. So I'm not confident that these features I want will come.

would like to have a switch-to full screen format on this one. i am watching on my phone and honestly it's better if it has this format for a better viewing experience. content-wise, it is simply amazing.
