    How is this compared to VLC player?

    • +2

      These apps all suggest they'll play extra stuff. But I'd like to know what. VLC has always played anything & everything. If not, I'd question how/what/where it came from.

      But… if it's free & you're looking for a different style, variety is always good.

  • +4

    I used KMPlayer on PC before, it's like PotPlayer, can play files that VLC can't.

    • +5

      Long time ago, it's KMplayer developed by Korean. Then the develop sold KMplayer to Pandora TV. For now if you download KMplayer then it's from Pandora. And the developer developed a new player named potplayer… POTplayer is much better than KMplayer now.

      So on PC, I suggest to use potplayer. On Android, I suggest to use KODI which is free.

      • +3

        I use potplayer on my PC now as VLC was having problems decoding some sound streams . Some may find it a bit lacking in UI , Others will love it's simplicity and the fact that it just does what it's supposed to do without "features" that you never use .

  • +3

    What's up with these types of apps always being free? trojan horse?

    • +2

      they're practically ads for their app and some (all) of them take your user data to sell
      this player is pretty good, it can also render VR videos and make use of your phone's gyroscope to let you move around

      • +3

        I like being able to move around. Might give this one a go.

  • +21

    Few things to consider before downloading this (and any of the free apps):

    1. "We request storage, address book and phone rights. We not use these rights for any other purpose."
      What does "We not use these rights for any other purpose" even mean?

    2. The requested rights are actually:

    - Identity
    - Contacts
    - Phone,
    - Device ID & call information
    + the usual storage rights.

    1. The link to their privacy policy goes nowhere.
    • Hmmm guess I'm sticking with my MX player pro which is still working flawlessly for me

      • +2

        MX player pro also request Storage permission. The other permissions are optional (select after installing) - I didn't allow. So end up with same permissions as MX player pro.

    • +1

      Pretty sure you can control the exact permissions you want an app to have access to (or at-least in Android Pie, you can). Simply go to Settings->Apps->(Select App)->App Permissions->Toggle On/Off

      • One of the issues with this is that you can only revoke permissions after install.
        This means if the app is codded a certain way it could start in the background after install and siphon off and transmit or store things like your contacts while you are navigating to revoke the permissions you don't like.
        LineageOS's Privacy Guard is a bit better with this and I recommend using it if you run this version of Android.

        • It requests those permissions before first starting. See screenshot below.

          You can then deny those permissions at start up & still use app. So no need to revoke later.

      Few things to consider…

      Don't Panic!😱
      After installing it asks for those permissions - only storage is required
      (to access video file list! We want that!).
      Other permissions are optional as it points out. I didn't give those permissions.

      Screenshot of permission request

      Permissions can be turned on / off in Settings.

      Best to check facts before posting - scaring people unnecessarily!

        Scaring people unnecessarily?

        Are you seriously suggesting to install dodgy apps that spy on you and then to manually disable permissions that allow spying?

        Will you still remember to manually disable all those permissions for all those dodgy apps few years in the future when you upgrade/reset your phone? And if you are convinced that you will, will all those people that accepted your advice remember to do so?

        We live in a world where everybody is trying to get your personal information. A bit more caution would not hurt anybody.

        • Scaring people unnecessarily?
          Are you seriously suggesting to install dodgy apps that spy on you and then to manually disable permissions that allow spying?

          That certainly sounds like you are trying to scare people unnecessarily about this app.

          Where's your proof this app "spy on you and then to manually disable permissions that allow spying"?? (Just found my tin foil hat - feel safer now😉)

          It requests (not requires) those optional phone & address book permissions, that's all.

          Screenshot of request for permissions above - shows the ones you warn about are only options. We choose if we want to give those permissions! Was same with 2 versions of Google.

          It only requires storage to access the videos. But you can choose to deny even that when it requests permission.

          It's up to users now to choose what permission to give. Not like the bad old days when we had to automatically give permissions to be able to use an app.

          Will you still remember to manually disable all those permissions for all those dodgy apps few years in the future when you upgrade/reset your phone? And if you are convinced that you will, will all those people that accepted your advice remember to do so?

          Scaremongering again😱
          Reinstalling will ask again for permissions or carry over existing permissions with upgrades - that's how Google is now set up.

          This app shows no permissions granted as I set it up.

    • +2

      Two more permissions which I would would highlight are:
      "draw over other apps" <- Legit use is probably a pop out video player.
      "close other apps" <- Can not see a reason for this based off the feature set.
      These two can be used in phishing among other things and with the "receive data from Internet" could be used for future payloads.

      • Shows "NO" for both those permissions on my phones after running this app. So not a problem.

        But I chose not to allow the optional phone & address book permissions.

        Play shows a list of permissions that MAY be used. That doesn't mean they are.

        Draw over is usual in quite a few normal apps. Even MyMaccas app use it!

        Phone status may be needed to close app when a call is received - "close other apps".

        From Android 6 onwards, you can change permissions - Go to settings & turn off if you want. I've turned off Draw Over permission in another app

        So choose permissions wisely when it requests!

    • The link to their privacy policy goes nowhere.

      Wasn't hard to find… Terms of Use & Privacy Policy

    • I don't understand your nearly paranoid reaction to this particular App?

      Google recently changed how permissions are granted.

      [As part of that change, in January some phone & SMS permissions became severely limited being only allowed in special circumstances. eg cerberus]

      So we now are told why some permissions are needed or are optional for features in the app. We can now opt out of those permissions. I think that's a good move. (But not you?)

      We now have to explicitly agree (or not) to each of these permissions before using App. (This app still works, but some features may be limited if you click no to all.)

      They're simply a request for permission, as you commented (but missed it's meaning).

      It's likely the permissions have not changed with this app, just how Google handles some permissions has changed.

      In the past we had to agree to all permissions (or couldn't download the App) & weren't told why.

      To link this positive change in handling some permissions - to thinking this widely used app spies & not offer any proof…😱

      If you look at a lot of popular apps like this (eg MyMaccas), there is a long list of permissions shown on Play!
      Strangely those apps don't attract this sort of negative attention over permissions😱
      We still like our free offers available from Maccas only on their App😉

      Of course be cautious with any download. Check the permissions.
      Just choose the permissions you're comfortable with. I only agreed to Storage so videos could be listed in app.

      • Mate, don't twist my words.

        There is no "nearly paranoid reaction" to this app. Read my post again, I just listed the permissions that the app asks for. Several of them are probably not needed and everybody agrees with this.
        That definitely puts the app in the "beware category".

        And if you read my post properly you will notice that my "paranoid reaction to this particular app" also includes a warning about other apps asking for unnecessary permissions.

        I am not sure what you are trying to prove but so far you have posted 8 separate posts about this, drifted into Google's permissions changes etc. If you are so convinced the app is safe why did you disabled some of the permissions?

        Call me paranoid as much as you like but most of people blindly click OK without reading. Most of people are not aware of the possible consequences of giving permissions to dodgy apps. They should be educated about dangers of their information being uploaded to who-knows-where.

        • people blindly click OK without reading

          Seems you have not yet met the new Permissions Request for apps - you now have to make a choice for EVERY Permission in a request.

          (You stated it was a request for Permission, but don't seem to understand how different that is to previous Permission Requirements.)

          Now - an advisory pops up for the requested Permissions (showing 1 required & 2 optional in this case). Shown in my Screenshot.

          Then you must make a decision about each of the (3) Permissions.

          That's 4 clicks in this case - before you can use the downloaded App.

          It's not just blindly click OK without reading as it used to be at time of download.

          And you can later change these Permissions. (Android 6 & above)

          Google are now making people think more about the permissions they give. A good idea. As recommended by you…

          I now choose not to enable unnecessary Permissions until I know any app better - since we're given a choice.
          In this case I don't need the features those are required for, but may change that later.

          And as I already commented, other permissions may flow from granting those Permissions (draw over & turn apps off)).

          The big difference now with request for Permissions (before app can be used) is why I have been trying to get across that past requirements for Permissions (to be able to download) that people are used to - may not be such a big deal any more.

          Things have changed. We have more control over Permissions. But we still need to make wise choices. (So be informed about Permissions & don't agree to optional Permissions just yet!)

          The ones you warned about (2 optional & recommended for Storage) can be turned off before or after use. Can be turned on if needed later.

          As DNA put it "Don't Panic!"😉

    How is using one of these different than the default OS player? on PC it's obvious but on android/ios idk.

    • +2

      Some files aren't supported by OS player.

    • +1

      Better codec support, more features such as network playback/better subtitle handling/better controls/video library/etc

  • Thanks OP

    "One of the best video players I've used. Plays videos that sometimes MX Player struggle to play"

    Which videos, exactly?

    Every one I've tried plays fine.

    • +2

      also, with MX Player, you can download the codecs, e.g. "ARM (Neon)" codec

    • +1

      You have to download codecs to play many file types with MX Player (had this problem recently on a flight, fortunately had vlc installed too).

      Maybe this app comes with them built-in?

    • Yeah. I've never had a problem with MX player not playing anything…

  • +1

    I use Kodi and I haven't found a video that it doesn't play, unless it's a bad encode and I can't get mx player or VLC to work either.

  • +1

    Does it support casting to chromecast?

  • I used to always download this but stopped around 4 years ago. I don't remember why but my conclusion is that it wasn't required anymore. I suppose I stopped downloading as many movies as well…

    4 and a half thumbs up.

  • Shows $5.49 :-(

  • Too late :(

  • VLC is for free. No need to have another media player if having VLC installed.

    • It's top rated on Play.
      I've used MX player for years.
      Plenty of alternatives.
      I use this player on Win10, so installed to compare.

  • Installed this, tried it then go back to MX Player. Don't know why but for the same video, this one was so laggy, and slow compare to MX Player.
