Ratings and reviews

I have been using it maybe a month now and have had no issues. I download movies/music & can play both with Lua. I can turn my screen off, it will still play. It auto pauses when you watch a YT video or a video in browser, then resumes as soon as the video stops. Which I like, I don't have to go back and press play. The picture in picture or the hovering screen is perfectly dimensioned and not too small.. You have to go into settings to turn the option to continue where you left off. Great apa!

Won't play from an external drive...struggles with some formats...a constant error message when clicking on a video 'this media is not available to play' so it takes at least 2 attempts to play anything. Even so it has the potential to be a really good player but I think it was launched too soon. If these faults are fixed I'll definately try it again.

They got it to play Youtube again. It's good overall, but the pop-up window has so many toggles, if you touch it by accident in the wrong area, it'll mess everything up. For instance, if you come to move the pop-up viewer to a different area of the screen, you'll accidently hit the seek bar and the video will jump forward 20 min, or you'll accidently turn the volume up, etc.
