    It was a gift for my husband and he liked it but wasn't completely satisfied. Tends to freeze sometimes during Netflix and have to restart but its not often.

    Nice Player With Some Flaws

    The Nexus player is a pretty neat product that offers some marginal improvements as opposed to the Chromecast. It's nice to be able to play stuff without having to grab my phone. It's nice to be able to browse things on the TV screen and not on the phone screen. So in these two ways it is an improvement on the biggest drawbacks I found with the Chromecast. On the other hand, it seems to crash some. About half the times I go to play media on it, I have to reboot it. And I'm not completely convinced that the improvements over the Chromecast are worth being 3x the price.

    A nice interface for a great player - but it hopefully there will be more apps in the future. Got it for a sale price and I'm very happy with it so far.

    We picked up the nexus because it is a sling TV compatible devise and are very happy with the item. It sometimes glitches and freezes additionally it doesn't have a traditional power off feature, but besides that does anything i was hoping of it to do.

    This is the best streaming device on the market. I'm not sure why Google doesn't market it more, but it plays flawlessly and allows for easy streaming and games. I have the firetv also and prefer the nexus.

    So, my Chromecast broke. Since I had a coupon and this device was on sale, I decided to try this instead. It works exactly like a Chromecast + has a bunch of other features right? This device has crashed on me frequently, and you have to pull the plug on it to reset it. The UI is sparse and random and it only seems to want to slow me down with "recommendations" rather than allow me to get to the content I want to watch. This device without chromecast features would be 1 star for me. Save your money and just buy a Chromecast instead.
