Ratings and reviews

Sometimes the resume function breaks. The video will just start from the beginning and I have to find where I left off manually. I have the option to resume playback enabled and it only sometimes breaks. Edit: I can't play a video more than once. the app tells me the video no longer exists.

honestly don't like this new update. The old Update was fine as it was and now the new update I have to figure the settings out and all that stuff. The One Big thing that I didn't like was that the volume control now skips from 20 to 35 in volume and I have to use my phone volume keys to set it to the right spot. PLEASE FIX THIS BACK AND compare it to Samsung video player app and see if you can make it feel more like it with the same features.

hey, can you also add a screenshot feature please? The app is otherwise fantastic. but, I really want to take screencaps from the videos while it plays. right now, I'm still going back to native android method, which is a bit old school. if next player can just add this tiny widget to take screenshots, it'd be the best player here on store for Android..🙂‍↔️
