Notes et avis

Meilleur lecteur Android, de très loin. Il est gratuit et open source. Ceux qui lui donnent une mauvaise note sur le play store à cause de bugs sont des ingrats, et n'arrivent pas à comprendre que les commentaires et la notation du store ne font pas office de service technique (pas très étonnant, venant de leur part). C'est gratuit, sans revente de données, ça marche très bien 99% du temps, mais la seule fois où ça bug, les enfants pourris gâtés viennent se ruer ici pour pleurer. Calmez-vous.

On peut lire des vidéos .flv donc c'est pratique, mais perso je ne peux les lire qu'une seule fois. Quand je lance une vidéo que j'ai déjà lu, elle s'ouvre sur la dernière seconde et donc se ferme sans que j'ai même eu le temps de mettre sur pause... Presque 1 an après, rien n'a été fait pour corriger ce bug que j'avais même signaler par mail comme il m'avait été demandé de le faire...

Fidèle depuis plus de 10 sur toutes les plateformes, c'est clairement le meilleur lecteur de médias. MAIS : 1/ il ne marche plus du tout sur mon Chromebook depuis longtemps, il se ferme tout seul et ne sert plus à rien ; 2/ sur mon smartphone il est incapable d'afficher les vignettes qui correspondent aux vidéos, tout est mélangé ! Je veux ouvrir une vidéo, ça sera la surprise pour savoir si c'est la bonne....et ce n'est jamais le cas ! 🤦🏻‍♂️ À pleurer !
