Ratings and reviews

Nice, simple video player with classy UI! This video player SOUNDS great! Good for live music concerts, videos, etc. better than all the others I tried. Only one gripe: when you pause a video, the UI stays on the screen blocking your view of the "paused" video image. If the dev ever fixes this, I'll give 5 stars...

i love how simple this is, my only complaint is that there is no ability to loop videos or disable the touch screen volume control, which i sometimes press by accident. i appreciate the player is always in full screen and has the ability to lock rotation. the app is literally just a video player, no superfluous features like a video editing suite or cloud uploading (tbh most professionals would use a dedicated desktop GUI for editing or upload directly from Files)

Kind of bare-bones, and feels silly that looping is hidden in a menu that seems to be undocumented in the Github and app itself. Worth noting there is little is terms of customization, options and UI, and this isn't as feature complete as MX Player or VLC. However, this does have no data collection, unlike MX, and looping is flawless, unlike VLC. Its not perfect, but this is probably one of the better options for Android.
