"MX Player is an outstanding media player that offers seamless performance and supports almost all video formats. The intuitive gesture controls for brightness, volume, and playback are incredibly convenient. Its subtitle support and multi-core decoding ensure a smooth viewing experience.

I really hate that I'm FORCED to go through a couple of ads when I'm switching from one track to another. I understand ads pay the devs, but they can make it less intrusive. I'm only keeping it cause the A-B play feature, but I'm looking for nother. An app shouldn't annoy its users, I can only take so much.

No app can beat MX Player. Absolute control on every aspect of the video, any screen ratio and crop. Customize the captions. Reminds me a lot of Media Player Classic on how much customization and ease of use there is. They are running a ton of ads though, while bothersome, I won't rate it down as long as it doesn't show during playback (it does on pause though). It should have a pro purchase option to get rid of the ads. Seems like decent policy to your customers.
