niconico

niconico is a live content tool that allows users to watch different videos sorted by category. These videos are played just like in any other streaming platform, but with the particularity that all the comments appear above the broadcast.

niconico works like the most-known streaming platforms in the West: Twitch or Youtube. After starting the app, you'll see how the main menu presents the most viewed live videos that you can visit and watch. Once the playback starts, all user comments will appear in real time—this is one of niconico's most striking features. This comment's overexposure can be annoying, but you can disable it without any problem.

The niconico user can bookmark their favorite content so that when the app is launched, they can enjoy them without any previous search. However, if you still want to do some research, you can use niconico's search engine, sorted by genres and types of online content.

niconico's services are free, but it offers a monthly subscription that will remove the advertising videos that appear before the start of the broadcast.
