Ratings and reviews

On PC this is still the best media player in my opinion. On smartphone...soso I noticed some annoying "features" there is in-app brightness adjustment which you can do on the touchscreen even by accident. The other thing is that I have about 200 videoclips and sometimes I don't watch them to the end...if I don't the player memorizing where I stopped on all of them and start them from there NOT from the beginning. It's not great to listen to songs from the 1:16 mark for example.

Since making a playlist from files in Windows shared folders now really works, this is the best media player for Android, just as, in my opinion, it is the best media player for Windows, especially because it supports rare formats like RMVB. Thank you 😊 BTW, just a suggestion: maybe you could add the option to export the playlist to an external folder for backup 😊

Used to be my favorite media player for years. Unfortunately it crashes a lot lately, especially on mkv files to a point where I need to force it to close. The brightness and volume on screen control is not sensitive enough and minor adjustments are difficult to carry out. It's either insanely loud or dead quiet. The controls are not accurate.
