Ratings and reviews

Very clean and good player, was recommended on Reddit, checked it out and was glad! It has the ability to display subtitles when video is cropped in, VLC was unable to do that as subs are pushed out of the screen. A bug I found when playing .MP4 video, the video turns choppy for some reasons. Maybe dev can look into it and fix it?

Awesome app, because it has no ads. still only 3 star? because it has a bug which is very annoying for me. So the video saves the progress upto whatever timestamp I have watched. But, suppose a folder has two videos, I watched the video 50%. and If I watch the first video, it completes and starts the next video from start. That means my progress is lost and I don't know till where I watched. I would request the developers to Please fix this

This is the best media player ever. Clean, simple and efficient. You can change audio & subtitles of videos. There's just one thing, it would be great to be able to play .mkv files. But other than that it's The Media Player of my dream
