Ratings and Reviews
The app is a good free style media player, but...
There are aspects where it can do better. E.g. I'm using it for listening my collection of audio books in mp3 format. Or paying short exercise videos download from the Net. For playing audio, I have to have my display unlock to be able to play next mp3 file, otherwise I get Playback failed after one track finish. Do I have to unlock my iPhone to continue listening. I wish I can say from where it stop, but it can't even keep track what it has played already and what it didn't. I hope developers can fix it at some stage. Actually, I tried to contact developer support, report a bug, but the price of doing so is so hostile I gave it up (had to register there first, option was to use github, but once I provided github account it declined it saying I need gitlab account first. Still didn't give up, and attempted to register a new gitlab account, but then I was refused to continue as my gitlab account needs to be approved first) Guys, you can do much better than that? Can't you? It is quite demotivating user experience, that I would think several times next time I'd like to provide any feedback, bugreport it suggestion for enhancement.
Developer Response ,
Hello,
Sorry for this feedback experience. We were fighting major spam issues last months which should be mostly resolved by now. You can easily contact us through the About dialog accessible through Settings directly from within the app without creating an account.
Thanks for your detailed feedback in your review. We hear about this issue from time to time but we are unsure how to fix it so far.
Good but
App works well for most, but why is there no option for casting- I would love to be able to use my Chromecast
It just gets worse
Amongst everything else that is excruciatingly impossible about this application, the new update features a change to the subtitles/language listings – they are now white type on a white background, in other words, completely unreadable. Oh, and the button which used to close the playing window now simply minimises it. So how do you close it? Answer – you can’t. You have to either choose another video or exit the entire application. I mean, of course – why not make one of the most simple functions more complex, for no reason? How would we know that we had an update if totally decent functions weren’t ruined, to absolutely no perceptible benefit?
