Ratings and reviews

I still like this for its fame-precise player, but the built-in screenshot function isn't working. If I save them to the default folder, no files appear at all, but if I save them to DCIM, regardless of what settings I use (jpg, png, SW rendering off or on), the resulting files are 0 bytes. I can use my phone's screenshot function as a workaround, but that's not always at the video's original quality.

The developer kindly responded that the setting exists, I found it under the three dot menu, then notification text, text offset from top/left and it worked great to fix the issue! Ty dev, was likely just caused by the camera notch offset and/or android 15 preview? Old review edit for char lim They add a toggle to fix the time and frame count not showing all the time, *edited out as above* its also a very buggy moving and bouncing ad that resets when you move and just acts awfully distracting.

Zoom function with 2 finger gesture is glitchy. It sometimes zooms in, sometimes zoomes way out with the same gesture, ie unpredictable. Using the slider to forward or rewind has lag (could be my phone? But the other apps I've used don't lag) so you are not able to determine via image where you are at visually unless you wait a second. Other than this, it is feature packed but for my purposes, I sadly will have to remove the app. ☹️

What’s new

- screenshots in "HW+" decoder do not work with gpu-next or software rendering checked/on (requires "HW" or "SW" decoder instead)
- fix frame/time display crashing or freezing app
- fix frame back step not showing the correct frame and time information
