User Reviews

Eugene, 30 years old. Convenient player for Android-set-top boxes, supports NFS. There are, of course, shortcomings. For example – in the player there is no way to change the position of subtitles. By default, they are at the very bottom and it is impossible to move them up. It’s not very convenient… But overall, the app is great!

Yuri, 37 years old. Excellent player, convenient and functional. Many thanks to the developers! It works great, you can select an audio and video track + set synchronization with Hertz TV. One of the few players that normally reproduce 5.1 sound in a home theater.

Konstantin, 26 years old. Probably the best video player on Android TV, I use it by default, I didn’t delve too much into the settings. On the Hisense 55a7400f, online cinemas, torrents and an external hdd work without problems. Only now switching audio tracks when viewing is not the most convenient, but these are trifles.
