User reviews

Eugene, 30 years old. Convenient player for Android set-top boxes, supports NFS. There are, of course, drawbacks. For example, there is no way to change the position of the subtitles in the player. By default, they are at the very bottom and cannot be moved up. It’s not very convenient … But in general – the application is super!

Yuri, 37 years old. An excellent player, convenient and functional. Thanks a lot 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 on a home theater.

Constantine, 26 years old. Probably the best video player on Android TV, I use it by default, I didn’t dig much in the settings. On Hisense 55a7400f, online cinemas, torrents and external hdd work seamlessly. Only switching audio tracks while viewing is not the most convenient, but these are trifles.
