Ratings and reviews

The playback engine rewrite is a disaster. Network video playback jumps and skips constantly, regardless of any settings. I always liked this app, but it looks like it's time for an uninstall. Thank God for APKmirror. The older versions still work great, which is the only reason I'm still rating above one star.

Edit 3/4/20: I thought it was only fair to amend my review. For a week after the update it did not work. Then suddenly it started working. I made no changes to my device, did not even restart it. Don't know if tbe author did a quick fix or what, but it does not crash anymore trying to read files. [Old review] Great update guys! BSPlayer has been working fine for years, but now if I try to play my mp3 files on my SD card it freezes and dies. I dont have time for this.

My favorite! The subtitle download options are fantastic and the download from stream works great (perfect for youtube streams that I want to watch offline). Everything else is great too (screen ratio options, making image bigger or smaller, subtitle size and delay, double tap for pause, swipe back and forward for skipping forward or back, ... ). Keep it great.
