About this app

Playback - the ultimate music and video player browser app that allows you to stream your favourite content while multitasking in floating picture-in-picture mode & when the screen is off or on the lock screen.

You can search, bookmark, and share your favourite content, create your own playlists, and listen to podcasts, interviews, and nursery rhymes with the screen locked.

Here are some of the key features that make Playback stand out:

* Stream music and watching videos with ease, even when your screen is off or on the lock screen.
* Multitask using a floating picture-in-picture mode while listening to your music video in the background, just like a music player or in a floating picture-in-picture mode
* Access 100’s music genres like Electronic, Soul, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Rhythm & blues, Disco, Jazz and much more
* Save your music or videos to favourites to watch later at your convenience.
* Create a personalised home screen to access your favourite music and video websites.
* Search millions of music and videos, and bookmark them for easy access later.
* Share your favourite music and videos with friends and family.
* Play any video or music shared from other apps in the background with ease.
* Listen to podcasts, interviews, nursery rhymes and more when the screen is locked.
* Floating Browser with background stream
* Users can create their own playlists, re-order them by saving their music or videos to their favourites, and share them with friends.
* Playback allows users to play any video for hours of free music without the need to download tracks.
* Save your battery life by listening to music without keeping your screen on.

I've been loving the app since I don't want to play for YouTube premium. I'm able to play playlists shorts from my accounts history without having the miniplayer blocking the screen. Recently though, it seems like videos aren't loading completely which leads to constant buffering and restarts of the video when I try to go into the app. The video will start playing again as soon it opens which defeats the purpose of wanting to use other apps or having the screen off. This started a few days ago..

It's an app that does what it should! Audios and videos play in the background just fine, and the app is definitely usable. The only problem is that the apps browser locks up at some point if I tab back into it and won't accept any input. It gets quite annoying, and I really hope you guys can find the bug. I would give five stars if this bug is resolved. The phone I use for this is a Samsung galaxy s21 if you are wondering.

The app is good in all until you close it using the designated play in background. When I do that the music plays in the background for a good ten seconds before I open another app with no volume and the app suddenly closes and I have to reopen the entire thing and find my music all over again. Getting an add on top. Fix this issue and I'll give five stars.
