I basically found out about this app because it the only media player app that let you brighten up your videos way pass the norm particularly dark scene. Outside that it needs a lot of work. My biggest pet peave with this app is the fact you can't globally set a default video directory . Everytime I start up the app I have to set the directory and a better interface

MPV is my go-to media player on both macOS and Windows. I'm glad to see this android port works very well and it works exactly in the manner I want: no fancy Library view, just a Files view to navigate and play smoothly. The playback interface is minimal, swipe right/left to seek, swipe up/down to change brightness or volume. This is all I want personally for a media player on mobile.

Honestly, great. Best I have seen on Android in terms of playback quality, efficiency in battery usage, and outright performance. It plays videos my tablet can't play natively with almost no dropped frames and my tablet is not very powerful. Other, 3rd party players either didn't play at all or struggled with those formats. Only need two more features to be perfect: Casting support, and a slightly better interface or more customisation of said Interface. Otherwise, best there is on Android.
