NFB has some good content however with no support for Google Home, Alexa, Kodi, Apple TV, Roko, Android TV or even Chromcast accessing and viewing NFB content is a pain in the bum! This app allows you to view on a phone/tablet but that's about it.

Will play for about 20 seconds and then shut down, and looks like it hasn't been updated in years, like since android 4.0 came out and that was like 2011.

Offline movie downloads aren't working. Will just pop up as notification that says its downloading but has no status bar and can be swiped off

Cut the crap man, this is a good dam app open your minds a little bit, you closed minded degenerites.

Nothing of interest at all! No movie anyone has ever heard of and no cartoons anyone has heard of. My kid was truly bored. On top of that, all of the 5 star reviews are fake and it does not download or play anything on Galaxy S3. I'm uninstalling this crap!

by N####:

It's true that the NFB has seen better days, but the low ratings for content here are absurd. If anyone has created a more original and beautiful work of art than "Pas de Deux", or wittier animations than Cordell Barker's, I don't know about them; and there are many other gems that only get better with time. Much of the material is on Youtube, but this app delivers more consistent quality.

You can't use old movies for the current generation..

Update to material design and add Chromecast support

B70%
by B####:

While the content is good, why is there no current media free to public? NFL was a trailblazer in media. What happened there's no current media. I know the government supports film but only that which you go to the theatre. Why doesn't it still support short and Indy films?

You have no need for access to my Photos/Media/Files yet you require it. What are your reasons? I can only assume they are nefarious.
