Ratings and reviews

Honestly if you are looking for a floating video player, this is it. I usually don't review things but this was pricy and niche. I think this is the only floating player with the features to match a real player. Audio channels can be selected, relative subs, and gestures are all there. My only complaint would be an easy way to pause and play (maybe use the same signals music players use?) I guess keyboard shortcuts might be too much to ask for but I'd be ok mapping it to my keyboard 3rd party

Best video player app without discussion. Many cool features and play almost all video formats. (If it could play pictures, I'll give it 10 stars, and I'm sure people will be rating 10 stars too)

Can't access settings and can't find site to point me in right direction. Can't turn off subtitles or stop video, just keeps playing even when screen is off with sound coming out. For w premium paid app it sucks. How do I get my money back?
