Ratings and reviews

I just downloaded it a day ago. I was playing a video and the app crashed - won't load second video even after selecting Play Next/No Loop. Overall one of my greatest video players. Kindly fix it.

I really like this app. It's free and everything works smoothly. I've been using VLC for years because it's ad-free, but there are two things about VLC that have always irritated me. That's why I tried this app, and it's been great so far. I have just one request: please never add ads to this app.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Next Player is one of the best video players on Android. It has a clean UI, network video playback, playback speed, and a very useful Skip Silence feature. The only missing features are Audio Delay (Sync). Please add in a future update. This would make Next Player an even better video player. Thank you for this great app!
