NI

NI is an open-source Android application in the Multimedia category. It connects a title shared from the Netflix app with its corresponding IMDb page. The process begins when a Netflix user opens the share options for a title and chooses NI as the destination. NI then uses an internet browser to look up that title on IMDb.

If the IMDb app is installed on the Android device, the lookup can open there instead. This gives Netflix users a direct way to move from a title in Netflix to its IMDb entry. The application is intended for people who want to consult IMDb while browsing or watching Netflix content. Its primary function is the handoff from Netflix sharing to an IMDb lookup.

NI fits the Android platform because it is selected through Android’s sharing process from the Netflix app. Its open-source license identifies the software’s licensing model for users and distributors. MirrorNest mirrors the official Android build directly on its own storage. Before publishing the mirrored build, MirrorNest scans it for malware.
