### 3/5 — sub delay

*2026-07-20*

can you change the sub delay to milliseconds like other video players instead of seconds, seconds is too much of a delay, ms is better. and add more than -5.0 and +5.0 delay time. make it go up to like 30 or something.

### 5/5 — 11

*2026-03-28*

11

### 2/5 — Bug report: background play

*2025-12-24*

(I will fix the rating to five stars as soon as this bug is fixed)

Whenever Pip is not active if I switch off the phone , the playback gets stopped after a few seconds because the operating system kicks it off. It should continue to play in the background, taking advantage of the OS permission to play.

### 5/5 — pip king

*2025-11-12, version 4.0.3*

Only app that does pip with no issue. Great value

### 5/5 — Video player

*2025-09-26*

Great app recomend highly

### 5/5 — Very Impressive

*2025-07-28*

I am usually very picky when it comes to apps, but this one feels very intuitive, and it gets the job done. Unlike other media players, it has no ads. Yes, there is one that encourages you to upgrade, but they are not real pushy about it. They do it once, and then not again. And the pro version is not a bad deal at all. It is either $1 per month, $3 annually, or a one time purchase for $8 for full use. So they are very flexible.

Getting to the app itself, the first thing that stands out to me is that it has realtime preview. You can tap and hold the playhead, and as you drag it, there is realtime preview rather than skipping. KM Player has this feature too, but it doesn’t work if the video is paused. This app works whether the video is paused or playing.

Also, you have the right tools right on the interface. You’ve got your volume control, playlist and chapters, and additional settings. Very easy to understand and navigate. And I assume that the pro version gives more control over the Playlist menu. Though, I am not sure how the Chapters menu works yet. I wonder if it is for downloadable movies that have a chapter selection?

My only criticism is that I am not a fan of the name. Video Player sounds very basic, and there are many other video players too. Plus, there are many others with a very similar logo with the same name, so this one is not easily identifiable. Aside from that, I do really like this app.

### 5/5 — Great app! But playback feature not working on my end..

*2025-06-18*

While I have the videos playing in PIP mode, it doesn’t let me rewind to the previous video. I hope this can get fixed in a timely manner. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect…

*2025-03-23, version 3.12.3*

…just wish there was a way to turn off subtitles by default so that I don’t have to do it manually every time I start a new episode. 

Everything else functions beautifully and the level of customisation is great. Totally worth the Pro upgrade.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-01-24*

Good experience. Previously smb streaming did not work, but it’s working now!

### 5/5 — Thanks for the PIP

*2025-01-22, version 3.11.4*

I’ve used vlc player for years on laptop and phone but with no pip it’s pointless for me, I’ve used this app a couple of times up to now (on iPad) and it seems perfect, I can now watch movies from my flash drive in pip and play games in the background, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
