Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NOS Net at 4.8 against TVI Player's 3.4. NOS Net also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). TVI Player's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (13% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NOS Net holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 26 and 17 respectively.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TVI Player ships an update every 2 weeks, NOS Net every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
