Pros of the Application
- The app is an all-inclusive application that can be used to view movies, TV shows, downloaded videos, videos recorded on the device, etc.
- It also allows access to audio files on the device.
- The app allows the screening of all videos with enhanced quality.
- It lets the user access subtitles of over 30 languages. Thus, you don’t need to restrict yourself to viewing English subtitles.
- It also provides the users with complete sync control of these subtitles.
- The app provides a unique option of a floating screen for multitasking. This means that you don’t need to pause watching the video when you want to access some other application on the device.
- The ‘one-finger control’ feature of the application makes it highly accessible. With just one finger, the user can command play/stop, brightness control, volume control, etc.
- The users can also control the playback speed of the video.
- The videos stored on Google Drive can be directly accessed from this application without the need of downloading them.
Cons of the Application
- The app contains a lot of ads that would restrict the user from smooth video access.
- It does not support all video formats. For example, .mkv files, .vob files, etc. cannot be accessed with this app.
- The application does not have the ‘search bar’ feature. This means that the users have to manually browse through all the files to reach the required file.
- The app has quite a lot of bugs due to which many users are either not able to access some features or are not able to access the app at all.
Function
The app has a simple and functional interface. This allows the users to easily access all the features. However, the USP of this app is the ‘floating screen option’. Due to the availability of this feature, users can benefit from multi-tasking even if their device does not support the same. But there are quite a few bugs and glitches in the app. Due to this reason, many features of the app, though present, aren’t completely useful.
