Team review

" Stream music, videos and photos. "

The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 8 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible from version 2.1 of Android. Any supperior OS version will support it.

Its weight is very light, less than two MB enough to keep it on his device and turn it on.

Its number of downloads in the Android Market (Google Play) makes it an extremely popular application and rightly so. More than a million users are using it on mobile or on touch pad.

Positive review Love it! by anonym
Was looking for an app to access my video library that is advertised from my NAS and this app does exactly that. 5/5
Neutral review Nice but... by anonym
You need to put "add server with ip adress" option that makes app able to add servers with ip adresses... Some people may be using multiple routers and networks like me... 3/5
Positive review Nice App by anonym
Started to work out of d box with my Lava W520 3G Router cum Cloud storage 5/5
Positive review Works with Xbox One by anonym
This is the first program (after trying many) that allows me to pick something from my pc and play it on the Xbox. It's not perfect, but it's still ahead of most. Very good, easy to use. 5/5
Positive review Good One by anonym
The only issue is when you go back from an album puts you back to home screen instead of the listing history 5/5
Positive review Found nuttin... by anonym
Severe blonde moment here.. It found both my tv's but nuttin to send to them... um what? I thought this app had stuff in it... It found 1 videos but wouldn't let me play it. Both tv's are da do hickey upnup and dat udder ting. Smart tv's. I wanna be a tv someday. Preferably brunette. Left good rating cuz it's my lack of brain power preventing me from gettin it to work right, not the app. See I rate my I.Q. to.... you are not alone all of you 3s & under. We are 1 in our brainage drainage... Later... 5/5
Positive review Perfect by anonym
Allows me to find and listen/view all my music/movies, with Serviio (free) installed on computer. 5/5
Neutral review by anonym
When it works, it's great. However, often it doesn't see my media server and there appears to be no way to input a server IP manually. 3/5
Positive review Davidson by anonym
Works very fine. Comparing to another apps it has option to choose which player to use for playback instead of using built in player. 5/5
Positive review Great app with minor flaws by anonym
Great app with a fluid and simple interface. Options to change aspect ratio for viewing video. Thumbnails displayed. Few minor drawbacks which I am sure the dev can fix /add : 1) Crashes when viewing photos if mode changed. 2) Can the audio track be changed for a video having multiple tracks? 3) Can subtitles be displayed and track selected? Not sure if 2&3 are purely at the DLNA server end. 4/5
Positive review It works!! by anonym
Works on my HTC one phone and galaxy tab. Highly recommend getting this app to play from a dlna media server to your phone or tablet! 5/5
Positive review Works great for me by anonym
Does what it says on the tin. May not be dlna certified, but works well with my minidlna server. 4/5
Positive review Worked flawlessly and easily by anonym
I've tried other apps for streaming, but this is the first one that's smooth and opens large videos quickly. It's the first DLNA client I've used on android, that probably makes the difference. It works as well as the one on my PS3. 5/5
Negative review HUGE FLAW, USELESS! by anonym
Installed on my tablet to play to my streaming box. Shows them both in the same column Play To where I need my tablet to be in the Play From with no option of selecting which I want to be To or From. Useless app without the ability to switch!!!!! 1/5
Negative review app does not support lots of formats by anonym
hate it..... getting rid of my new sonys google tv in my livingroom for a small form fit computer with regular windows 7. Just need to download and install K-Lite Mega codec and anything plays.... This app was the last straw!!!! 1/5
Positive review Works with Mizzmo by anonym
Using Mizzmo on Win 7. Only a few movies are avi and this app will not play them. All the mp4 using x.264 play fine on my Note 2 and on Sony TV and a WD Live. 4/5
Neutral review Works as described. by anonym
This reads my nas and streams to windows media player. Which is good. But I want something that tells controls an app on my pc so I can do other stuff with my android device after I have selected what I want to play. Good stop gap though. Seems to be geared towards music I cannot seem to browse my folders so that I can tell the app to look for videos any help with this would be greatly appreciated. 3/5
Positive review Good app by anonym
Beste app online om films van pc naar tv te streamen allshare op pc app op telefoon en pak de popcorn maar . erg goed 5 plus Gr AmgineOps 5/5
Positive review Simple and reliable by anonym
It's a small app less than 3 MB and works without fail. Even the free version works well. Will buy the pro version soon if it continues to work reliably. The functionality depends on a reliable WiFi connection so if you have a poor WiFi connection it will naturally not work. Best so far I have tested a few. Thanks Mr. Bhatia. If you have windows 7 go to the folder you want to share (videos/music folder and then share and you will be able to find you when you browse in media house just play using MX player. 5/5
Neutral review Good by anonym
I can play a movie on my xbox or one of my media players without having to go to that room but sometimes it can't find my server so I rate it 3/5. Only because it doesn't always work. 3/5
Negative review Not possible to search for DLNA? by anonym
GUI is so "intuitive" that it is not clear of how to add an DLNA server/source. Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 wit CM11 1/5
Positive review Love this app! will be buying pro on pay day! by anonym
one recommendation, add support to play one video file through every tv/audio device on the network simultaneously. and add support to play pandora on tv's 5/5
Negative review No good for series by anonym
Actually quite good for movies, but doesn't do it for TV Shows. No bundling and doesn't even find the metadata. Willl have to find an app good for both... 2/5
Positive review MediaHouse UPnP works great by anonym
Easy to set up and very intuitive. Love it 5/5
Positive review So far so good. by anonym
It seems to work good so far. It streams movies to my HTC One very smoothly from my computer. I noticed there was no sound in ac3 movies until I tap the music icon in the top right corner and check off the s/w audio decoder. Then it worked fine. 4/5
Positive review Superb by anonym
Can't fault it at the moment. I wanted a media player to connect with Ubuntu minidlna and after some searching I stumbled on this. Great. Will continue to test before committing long term though. Good work. Thank you. 4/5
Positive review Works better than aVia player on bauhn tablet. by anonym
Takes a while to load vids and pics from my media centre pc but is pretty good and streaming music from mediacentre is perfect. Best I've tested so far I'm sure would be excellent on quad core tablet. 4/5
Negative review Remote Play does not work by anonym
When trying to play mp3 files to Denon receiver a message is displayed saying the device does not support remote play even tho this app detects the device as a player and other apps can play to my Denon receiver successfully. 1/5
Positive review Streams movies from PC beautifully by anonym
This does exactly what I want it to. Way less frustrating than streaming to my Ps3 or to my laptop. One complaint: the back button should go up a folder, not back to the main menu. This is unintuitive and annoying enough to knock it down from 5 stars to 4. 4/5
Positive review FANTASTIC!!! by anonym
Works perfectly. The only issues I have had were not the fault of the app, but due to the limitations of the network or the server. Even though the free version does everything I need, I bought the pro version as a thank you to the developer. I have a dual boot Linux/Windows box. Works like a charm with Linux running miniDLNA. What a wonderful app! Very impressed. I have a rather large video library and a moderately sized music library. This app handles all just perfectly!!! 5/5
Positive review Works perfectly but could use work. by anonym
Works perfectly on my smart TV and phone. Best android dlna app on Android I've found after days of searching. Expected it to have a stream from phone option though. Fix that and I'll give 5 stars definitely. Consider a more attractive name and I expect that you should also make a great looking UI in the future, like the UI in streambels. 4/5
Negative review Misleading by anonym
Another failed and misleading app. Does not allow you to stream music TO devices, only FROM devices. Why would I want to stream movies or music from a larger screen with better speakers to a tiny handheld device? Totally backwards and useless 1/5
Positive review It appears my search has ended by anonym
I have been testing UPnP/DLNA apps for a few weeks. The ease of use and set up with my ReadyNas, Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and my Series 6 Samsung TV has put Media House at the top of my list. This one is a keeper. Loved the fact that it found my MP3 playlists and played them perfect. I also liked the fact that it streamed all our Raw Cannon HD MTS videos from the ReadyNas without a problem. Very quick buffering between clips. 4/5
Positive review Perfect by anonym
This app works great for letting me view data from my dlna to my Google nexus tablet. My only snipe would be that the back button at the top left chucks you right back to the start rather than just taking you back a single folder. Not a big problem and this is definitely still worth 5 star, especially due to the small advertising, rather than the horrid full page like most apps. 5/5
Positive review So far so good. by anonym
I got this because I wanted to stream to the old gingerbread HTC that I let my 3 year old use. I've only had it one day so I haven't had a chance to really put it through its paces yet but I will say that it synced right up to plex on the pc with no problems. It's working great with Mx player on the old phone. 4/5
Negative review . by anonym
It doesn't download, stuck at 0%+can't exit peacefully, always asking to buy pro version. 1/5
Negative review Failed to work for me by anonym
Not really free. It is bait and switch. The app limits to 2 searches. Never made it to play a tune. Avia is the best by far. Too bad. A lot of programming but never yielded the expect result. Might work for you. 1/5
Neutral review No more Flower highlighting? by anonym
I use a TV controller with up/down/left/right buttons. This app used to highlight the currently selected option, but now It doesn't and I can't see what button I am about to press. Please test this without touchscreen, since it is a launcher which might be used on a TV without a mouse or a touchscreen. 3/5
Negative review Once great and steadfast by anonym
After last update, it stopped finding my favourite dlna compliant servers. Plex Media Server which is highly popular now and Playon server. Until this is resolved it's a uninstall and 2 star for me... 2/5
Negative review Causes entire network to drop! by anonym
I can't explain why, but I can say it does it. I have reproduced this over a dozen times. When you I first launch the app, every wireless device on my network suddenly goes to "No internet access" mode for about a minute. Not just sometimes, but EVERY time you launch the app, and it does it with all my Android devices (2 phones and a tablet). On top of that, it also doesn't detect my XBMC system. My XBMC server works fine with the XBMC Android & IOS Remote app, and the UPNP streaming flawlessly on my iPad (sadly) with 8Player. If only I could find something for Android that works as well... 1/5
