Ratings and reviews

Much like the desktop version, there's a very bare bones UI that is somewhat confusing at times, but once you get used to it, what is revealed is by far the most performant and compatible video players ever. Also, music playlists ( made by putting all the songs in the same folder and then paying the folder ) instantly transition between songs unlike both VLC and the built in music player on my phone, very nice touch.

Honestly, great. Best I have seen on Android in terms of playback quality, efficiency in battery usage, and outright performance. It plays videos my tablet can't play natively with almost no dropped frames and my tablet is not very powerful. Other, 3rd party players either didn't play at all or struggled with those formats. Only need two more features to be perfect: Casting support, and a slightly better interface or more cus
