Built on VLC's engine and driven with one thumb. If it is a video file it plays, and you will not meet the words “unsupported format”.

What it does
  • Every codec and container VLC handles — no “unsupported format”
  • Library folders you grant once; everything inside lands in Video and Audio and stays synced, with Continue watching at the top
  • Playlists, series that start over, and “finish then pause” so a phone on the pillow goes quiet after the episode
  • Subtitles, audio tracks, playback speed, aspect, rotation, jump to time, repeat and shuffle, a sleep timer, a pop-up player, a lock
  • Swipe for volume, brightness and seek, with the seek speed you choose; tap to pause
  • Plays off the network too — SMB, NFS, HTTP, FTP — with your shares found by a scan or added by hand
  • Six themes and six launcher icons, from Settings

No storage sweep. Files come in through folders you grant and Android's picker, so the app never holds a storage permission. Its one permission is the network, for the shares you add.

What it can reach

This is the whole list. Android prints the same thing under Settings › Apps › Permissions once the app is on your phone, and it was not written by us — check one against the other.

Android 8.0 and up. Bought once, yours to keep: no account to make, no subscription, and no upgrade screen inside the app — the licence you buy unlocks it and every version after it.

Against the apps it replaces

Compared with VLC, MX Player, Just Video Player.
