Ads Ads Ads. Only ads free when offline, but nowadays, mobile data is 24 7 on. Controls are still as good as it used to, but the amount of pop up ads that show up just by pausing, exiting the app, or jus doing anything...is just unbearable. Sort is also not working properly. My recommendation is to use Google Files and open the vids there, you'll get the same volume and brightness sliding control, just no seek by sliding left n right; you double tap to skip 10 secs like youtube.

Quite fed up with the ads. I've been using this app for years to play my own media ONLY. Get an ad to see my own stuff that's just great! Only reason I've been using for so long is because it supports so many codecs I've never had to convert my videos to transfer to phone. I've only recently bothered to find out it has online media to stream, but honestly I'm not interested. Subscription service too if you want to rid of ads. Time to look for a new player.

It became very good again, it's the best out there to magnify and zoom to fill the entire screen without lagging or artefacts. battery consumption is also exemplary. they are a bit trigger happy with the ads, and this can trigger interruptions when streaming multiple videos in the background (ie medic videos). I'll just get the pro version and bingo. Still works well as a few version.
