Leave a Review NFB Films
Subtle Gem
I regret that it hadn't occurred too me to write this review before. I love the content variety. Something for every one I imagine. If you are sensitive you'll surely find something to offend you because it has films of many things and at times films with opposing points. My recommendation? Do like me and don't watch the items whose very titles offend you.
The children's content is nice. For me, I love the simple films such as the "how to build an igloo". It was intriguing and I love to see the skill of two Inuit who slap together a nice dwelling in about 2 hours. A tool or two & you have shelter! Shows about an urban gardener. Shows depicting the life of the migrating Eskimo which life is now gone. Great to watch the old ways but I'm sure they are glad for a life of relatively greater comfort. Cree Hunters of Mistassinee (sp?), great. This review is way too long. Just get it. If you don't like it, I'll refund your ...wait it's free!Show lessDr. Veritas
Videos won't play
Poor help section brings you right back to this screen. It used to work. Now it just keeps spinning.Joejoe3000
Amazing
I can't believe more people don't know about this app. A great way to work you way through the NFBs catalog and there really is something for everyone. I especially love that you can DL films to watch off-line for 48 hrs (but those longer ones take a while to download). Only negative - wish there was a better way to navigate back thru the library after reading a film describe. Every time I do it kicks me back to the beginning of the list.Show lessHowlingman

We apologize for the inconvenience, and invite you to download the latest version of the app which has greatly improved in recent years.Outstanding Collection
My mother's family is Canadian, so perhaps I'm biased, but this is an incredible collection of NFB films. They range from educational documentaries to poetry and even investigational pieces. The quality is outstanding, both in terms of video delivery and content. Try it. Its free and fun.
I gave four rather than five stars for occasional frustrating lag.Show lessPanegyrist
You better fix this right now
This thing keeps on closing out on me this is the stupid app I ever had until that its a good app that I know but it constantly keeps closing out on me when I want to watch movies on it.Justin crum
Major bug
I love this app, but something has gone horribly wrong. After taking what seems like an eternity to load, the audio begins, but no picture...please fix.Fauntasia
Very buggy
I would love to watch these films but they just won't work. I press play, and I hear sound but no film. About 1 in every 10 works.Wall01.com
