When a video is paused and then you play it, the video would start playing but audio plays usually after ~2s delay. Or when you rewind video 5s, again the audio would be silent for ~1 to 2s. Other players don’t have this problem. ### 3/5 — SRT Reader & swipe-to-seek with thumbnail preview & reduce size of wide progress bar *2026-06-25* Please add Subtitle reader tts and an other volume slider for that, so that user can mute the audio and hear the subtitles. A major improvement for KMPlayer would be adding a gesture-based swipe-to-seek feature with a thumbnail preview, just like MX Player and nPlayer. The current seeking methods—fixed steps and dragging a progress bar—are not precise enough for long videos. Additionally, the very wide progress bar that appears at the top covers too much of the screen, making it hard to see what you're doing. A swipe-and-preview feature would make finding the exact moment you want far more accurate and user-friendly. **Developer response:** Hello rajatkeys, Thank you for your valuable feedback. We have noted your requests for adding a subtitle TTS reader with a separate volume slider, and a gesture-based swipe-to-seek feature with thumbnail previews. We will carefully review these suggestions with our development team to see how we can improve the current seeking methods and enhance user experience. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Carplay *2026-05-27, version 36.04.235* App is not bad .but why carplay support is not added yet? ### 4/5 — great, except lrc won’t work! *2026-05-21* i have my files in a subfolder of On My iPhone/KMPlayer it recognises the song and its metadata but not the accompanying .lrc file. works with flacbox. also it would be nice to have a way to close the player view without reaching to the very top left of the screen (swipe or button at the bottom) **Developer response:** Hello 😊. You mentioned the function to load external subtitle files (.lrc). We are currently reviewing improvements to this function and will strive to provide more convenient usability. Also, regarding the method of closing the player screen, we will deliver your opinion on user interface improvements to the development team and review it positively. We will work to make a better KMPlayer. Thank you. ### 3/5 — 惜しい *2026-04-08* シンプルで使いやすいです。 フォルダの作成やファイルの移動ができず後から動画を整理することができないのが残念です。 **Developer response:** こんにちは。 欠陥 ご利用にご不便をおかけして申し訳ございません。 フォルダの作成やファイルの移動機能に関する不便な点は、開発チームに伝えて改善できるよう努めます。 ありがとうございます。 ### 5/5 — Quality and easy to use *2026-03-07, version 36.02.250* Excellent video player ### 5/5 — very good *2026-03-02* everythings is good **Developer response:** Hello, JakeKool, thank you. ### 5/5 — Поддерживается ли отключение экрана при просмотре через vr очки? *2026-03-01* Поддерживается ли отключение экрана при просмотре через vr очки? **Developer response:** Здравствуйте 😊. К сожалению, функция отключения экрана при просмотре через VR-очки в настоящее время не поддерживается. Просим отнестись с пониманием. Мы рассмотрим будущие улучшения и постараемся предоставить лучший пользовательский опыт. ### 4/5 — Es hängt nach 2 Sekunden *2026-02-07* Es spielt einige Videos nicht ab,wenn ich es anschauen will hängt es nach 2 Sekunden direkt **Developer response:** Hallo Erenovic99, Es tut uns leid für die Unannehmlichkeiten. Wir werden dies an das Entwicklungsteam weiterleiten, um es zu verbessern. Danke. ### 5/5 — Best place for my movies and songs *2026-02-05, version 36.02.030* One of the best apps (definitely my favorite) so underrated ### 5/5 — Ngon *2026-02-03* Vẫn ngon như hồi dùng trên BB **Developer response:** Chào Locdtr, cảm ơn bạn đã có một đánh giá tốt. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Where the hell is the default folder on ipad?? *2026-07-21, version 36.04.235* And why the hell is it not able to open files directly from other apps?? ### 1/5 — Bookmark nightmare *2026-07-21, version 36.04.235* You make a book mark your never gonna be able to get rid of it and that is insane I liked this app until discovering this insane oversight. ### 1/5 — Horrid app *2026-07-16, version 36.04.235* When I first downloaded this app it worked perfectly fine but now when I try to add files/videos to the app or play a video using the app it doesnt pop up and the file explorer doesn’t help at all and it says it’s origin is /storage but I checked and I don’t have a single folder called /storage this app is horrid ### 1/5 — Utter trash *2026-05-30, version 36.04.235* I don’t know where it all went wrong but it looks like Picture in Picture mode is no longer working which means I can’t watch and do my favorite things anymore. And since there is no longer an app that does that I’m utterly disappointed. ### 1/5 — Perfect… if you don’t intend to watch any videos *2026-05-16, version 36.04.235* Why can’t I access the files already on my phone? Let me guess, because this is Appleland and everything has to be irritatingly awkward and restrictive. If you can’t get the basics right, why bother? ### 1/5 — Плохо *2026-03-25* Пользоваться не удобно. Интерфейс как будто я на свой айфон установил Андройд 10 летней давности. Удалил через 5 минут после установки **Developer response:** Здравствуйте. Юра56056 Приносим извинения за неудобства при использовании KMPlayer. Если вы сообщите нам о конкретных неудобствах по адресу support@kmplayer.com или https://cobak.co/en/space/392, мы быстро проверим и улучшим их. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t play mp4 *2026-03-05, version 36.02.250* Doesn’t play mp4. Also randomly turns white background when trying to load a film from files. ### 1/5 — Less than ZERO ! *2026-02-08, version 36.02.030* Don’t bother. Utter junk. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-01-28, version 35.12.222* Cannot open MKV files ### 1/5 — Less than ZERO ! *2025-12-28, version 35.12.222* Don’t bother. Utter junk. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best best best for ever🤌🏻👌🏻 *2026-06-30, version 36.04.235* Best best best for ever🤌🏻👌🏻 ### 5/5 — Best place for my movies and songs *2026-06-27, version 36.04.235* One of the best apps (definitely my favorite) so underrated- it became such a great place that I can click into and I hope it doesn’t change! Being able to add my own theme and just see it there while listening to my music. The best. Again, don’t change please 🙏 ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-06-13, version 36.04.235* Very nice and practical app ### 5/5 — И это все о нем )... *2026-06-03* Здравствуйте!

Очень удобно в нем смотреть видео. Единственная проблема - не удается подключить облачные хранилища. В Onedrive не видятся медиафайлы, почему-то. А google drive не дает подключить, так как аккаунт гугл считает это приложение ненадежным и блокирует его. Было бы очень здорово иметь возможность смотреть видео из облачных сервисов и освободить память планшета. А так очень классное приложение! Спасибо! **Developer response:** Здравствуйте. irene_lomax Спасибо за вашу ценную обратную связь. Мы передадим вопрос подключения к облачному хранилищу в соответствующий отдел для рассмотрения. Мы будем стремиться обеспечить лучшую юзабилити. Спасибо. ### 5/5 — Media Player *2026-03-25, version 36.03.242* It’s my default media app, great quality and UI --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
