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.

I really love using this app because it's completely ad-free and works smoothly. The only downside is that there is no toggle to show hidden files/folders (those named with a dot prefix). Adding a "Show Hidden Files" option would make this app perfect. Hope the developer considers this in the next update!

Great video app... really good. It has all the necessary things and even more what a video app should have. I usually prefer offline video watching, so I need this kind of app in my phone all the time. Previously was a fan of Samsung Video Library/Player, but finding this app was even better. It has clean interface and customization is next level. Really great work.
