OUTSTANDING APP!!!!!!! This app really ROCKS! I love everything about it and can't wait to see what's coming. The developer helped me out via email when I was having setup issues and had my problem fixed in no time. Best Customer Service Award goes out to Michell.— Laurence
Exactly what I was looking for and a bit more..... All the video players I've tried on my Lenovo K1 Ideapad just give you an ugly list with a screenshots of the video files. This separates movies and TV shows, adds cover art and uses IMDb for reviews and backdrops. When you hit play just select your favorite video player as default and you're set.— SaDiin
Beautiful looking and highly functional! Great looking app, automatically found and stored all my show info, downloaded posters and summaries. I contacted the developer and got a very quick and helpful response.— Michael
Love love love! Love this app. Beautiful interface. Gives my movie/tv collection a bit of class. It is easy to use. Scroll through movies with cover art and not just names, then play the movie/tv show seamlessly through a third party player. A joy!— Ellen
Best Movie Manager. It's like having Boxee on my tablet! Mizuu makes browsing my movie collection fast and easy. I love the layout and the ability to use my favorite movie player. It is visually appealing and it works like it should. A great app indeed!— akkidy
Sweet app Excellent app. Well worth buying if you watch movies on your tablet.— John
Great layout and features. Really nice way to collect and organize your movies and tv-shows. Like the UI a lot.— Ermias
A fantastic media center. After trying out the free version for some time, I decided to upgrade to the paid version and was not disappointed . This app is perfect for those who regularly watch movies or TV on their device. It organizes your files beautifully and easily allows you to set a third party video player if you want to use one. There are rapid updates that improve the code and add new features. Also, the developer is extremely accessible and open to feedback.— Doug
Should be 10 out of 5! This app defines what an app should be on Honeycomb, it is the kind of thing that makes having a tablet awesome! Also, the developer was fantastic in helping me resolve a problem, he responded within minutes (seconds?) of me sending him an email. Buy this app and tell your friends to do the same, you won't regret it!— amruthwo
The best movie/tv library app for android. Very beautiful and user friendly library app for your movies and television shows. Looks especially great on tablets or high resolution smartphones.— Christarius
Awesome Movie app on Prime. Works amazing, love the box art and look of this app. I point this to my cifs network drive mount on my transformer Prime and have my terabyte hard drive media right on my tablet! Great job dev!— W. Scott
Wonderful - Xbmc for Android!— Andreas
Awesome!! I have a media PC running XBMC and was looking for a similiar setup for my tablet when I found this. As far as I'm concerned this is one of the best apps I have. Works great and looks fantastic. Theres not another video library that even comes close.— Wosto
Great app. By far my favorite app on my ASUS Transformer! Love the info on each movie when you touch the movie poster. Gives options to watch trailer on YouTube, read reviews and play movie. Works great on my HDTV!!— Lou
I love this app. Had it about a month now and wouldnt live without it. Great job!— Mr Bear
Greatest movie app. This app is best app for managing your movie collection. It supports USB as well as network collections. I had a question on set up and emailed Michell thinking maybe I get and answer in a week or so no I got the exact answer to my question in minutes. The feature that I like the most is the ability to locate album art and descriptions one-at-a-time The global search got most of it automatically, but the "Identify Movie" just works! I am going to pay for the ad free version…— Ron
Beautiful! I've dreamed of an app like this.— Khaled
Excellent App. This app is great for portable movie watching! Worth every penny once you name your files correctly. I highly recommend this app, but for playing the videos use MX player! Keep up the great work on developing this app!— Demetrius
This app is stupendous and is a must have for any movie/tv buffs or people who store content locally. Good work!— Daniel
Amazing App. Great app!! I thought I would get just another normal poorly programmed app this one is awesome! I highly recommend it!— Marc
a must buy. an awesome app. the dev is also very responsive— Joseph
Five stars for constant updates....this app has come a long way— Darish
Great app. Easily one of my favorite apps on my Xoom. Very nice app.— Luke
Really good. Makes my crap thumbnails look like gold.— Matthew
Essential for Entertainment. Love this app so much!— Ram
One of the prime Honeyomb apps. It's an amazing feat that a lone developer can do better work than most dev teams. I've followed this guy since his beta on XDA, and look at him and his app now. Perfectly showcases Android's ability to provide indie devs to show their talent by offering powerful tools and near-complete freedom to generate an incredible app such as this. Excellent support, fast and accurate movie/TV listing, beautiful interface, support for multiple codecs. Highly recommended.— JJ
great Been waiting for an app like this for managing media on my tablet since I got it— Matt
Fantastic. A truly awesome app for showcasing movies. Who wants to use a file browser, when your mp4 videos can be represented by large, beautiful photos with integrated information? Plus, frequent updates. Keep up the great work.— Gregor
Great. Working great on galaxy nexus.— Jassim
Gooooooood! Works really great.— Matthias Gerold
Best video app ever. This app really shows how great android is. TV shows support works even better than movies. Such an amazing developer— Tom
Great app - Works great on both my Galaxy Nexus and my Galaxy tab 10.1— Jens
Fantastic! A fantastic and great looking app. Works really well, and with the upcoming changes in 1.8 with DLNA support will undoubtedly become even better. Works great on the Transformer Prime running ICS.— Spiros
Best paid app I purchased I had the free version for 15 minutes before I upgraded. Updates are often and good.— festmaster
Truly Amazing— Joris
Bloody well done! I am unbelievably impressed with what the dev has created! beautiful programming. It's Boxee for my tablet and its clean, intuitive and quick.— Steven
Excellent! Solid, well designed app, great customer support, a true gem!— Steve
Amazing. Coming from an iPad I missed the clean interface when it came to watching movies / tv shows. This is an even better experience than Apple has yet to offer. I never write reviews on apps, but I made an exception for Mizuu. Incredible value, the best Android app I've ever used.— Brandon
Perfect AAA— Roaster
Amazing!!! Looks great on my Transformer Prime!!!— Shawn
This app has come a long way in a short amount of time. Its matured into an XBMC style interface to showcase my movies/TV shows beautifully and easily. Great app!— Patrick
Fantastic app. If you are looking for the best media center app for Android 3.0+, look no further.— Doug
Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for, a clean yet elegant media manager for my TV eps and movies. Perfect for my CarPC!— Andrew
The best at what it does. Haven't yet found an app similar to this, for me it's the best one at what it does. Of course there are still things that could be added, but the application is being worked upon heavily and the developer listens and responds to questions or requests very quickly, so I'm sure it'll get even better. Definitely five stars from me :)— Natan Žabkar
Awesome app! Loving this app on my tab, beautiful & fast UI. Great support from dev!— Johanna
Wow, I'm truly amazed!! Would recommend this app to anyone and everyone— Nevall
Awesome app with amazing developer support. The best movie and tv show management app on Android. PERIOD! The developer is responsive, updates the app regularly and listens to the users which is the most important thing. He implements changes and upgrades the app in a timely manner and resolves bugs when reported to him on the blog. Truly one of the best apps I've ever paid for! Keep it up Michell!— Gligor
Best App For Managing Movies and TV Shows. The interface is intuitive and fast. Adding movie/show information is automatic and relatively accurate. The developer is quick to respond to emails and eager to ensure customers needs are met. Well worth the price! Great app and a great dev.— James
Excellent App! This is a great looking and very functional movies and tv organising app. Thank you for the good support and regular new features and updates.— Kenneth
How movies should look! I was disappointed with the android native movie application. Where is the cover-art? The movie/tv information? This app is what the android movie application should have been and more. It linked everything in my movie library with no issues. The app looks great too! Awesome! Great Work!— DavidGuy
Best app on my Xoom. The greatest app for honeycomb. This is a must have.— Gomez
Relly nice A cool GUI and fully featured xbm like for tablets.— macgyver
Super App. This is my first review, and man this app is freaking awesome! Please keep up the super work on this app.— Walt
Great. A great app with a motivated developer and very frequent updates. Superb interface— Thibaut
Noiiiiice !!!!! Sweet.....appealing interface and combined with MX Vid Player is exactly what I'm looking for. Recognizes shows and movies instantly as long as the name isn't too far off. Upgrading now !— Jay
This would be great, all my movies are on my NAS!
On my tablet i have no movies but would be great to check my movies on my tablet with the local database of mizuu Movies !!
Ist this feature plannes?
Already answered this by e-mail, but I’ll just say it here again, if other people read this
The application supports NAS devices, if you’re using CifsManager to connect to them. All you need to do is create a local folder that “redirects” to the NAS using CifsManager, and then tell Mizuu to scan the folder in question.
CifsManager can be found on Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=ws.plattner.cifsmanager
What about the people who are sitting without the possibility to root their devices? Or rather, do not want to void their warranty by rooting?
As far as i know, cifsmanager requires root access.
The goal is to support all devices, including those without root access.
Awesome, let me know when that happens.
Cifsmanager and all other market apps all require root access this feature would make this the best app ever. Really excited to see new updates awesome developer so bring on nas support.
Yeah, it’s something that could help quite a bit
