Recently added features to change the offset for audio and subtitles from video, which is nice, but also recently changed the way filenames display so as to show the starting and end, which is not nice. Now when I have a TV show downloaded, it shows the name of the show and the code at the end, but not the actual episode number. Please have it scroll or allow us to choose how we want it displayed via options

A great app, but in my opinion, I feel like the github version is a lot better than the play store version. I wanted to compare it with VLC, it is not bad for viewing content, not sure about listen to audio/ music like VLC. A good app as an alternative, but I would prefer the github version better.

Finally a video player without ads that meets the basic requirements. easily set the playback speed, easily fast forward and back, easily jump to a specific time point. I tried about 4 other popular apps and none could easily do these basic functions. Thank you for making an app with sensible functionality!
