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.

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.

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.)

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.
