Comments on Next Player for Android

★★★★★ Karthi Keyan · Jun 17, 2026

I like this update. It is awesome. Fix : Volume problem When I increase the volume it increases to random volume percentage. When I use landscape and reverse landscape my time and battery percentage system status bar showing it never hides. So please fix this problem 🙏🙏🙏🙏

★★★★★ Natsume · May 20, 2026

Minimal and best video player for android. It's like VLC with one of the best UI.

★★★★★ Satindar_R'2 · May 4, 2026

Next Player Come with Awesome Clean Ui. And feel So Smooth To Use I love this Video Player. But One feature is Missing. “A (Night Mode) feature Please Add Night Mode 🌌 Option... Thanks.” And I Give 5 Star's ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟

★★☆☆☆ Avisek Das · Apr 23, 2026

Great minimal UI, but a major issue: it uses a separate audio stream that bypasses system effects (DSP, Dolby, etc.). This breaks audio enhancements I rely on. Please add an option to choose the audio stream and default it to music. Until then, I’m using another player.

★☆☆☆☆ Mujtaba Ahmadi · May 7, 2026

This is a good video player, but we can't play audios. I also confused that how can I bring subtitle in a video.

★☆☆☆☆ Hemayet Hossain · Apr 17, 2026

Fix those: 1. When swip or double tap to ff a buffering animation appears on mid-display, fix it 2. Add subtitle multicolor 3. Use powerful decoder

★★☆☆☆ ARslan Ahmad · Apr 27, 2026

After too many updates this app is still unstable. If one bug fixed some other feature stop working. For instance, Picture-in-picture mode was fine earlier but with new update after adding search, multi-select and all that this mode is annoying and never works. You can't use touch in this mode. Some other bugs I found are following: - Showing total time over folder icon that is useless. - Always need to refresh every time, to fetch for new videos. It should be auto. - Last played is annoying.

★☆☆☆☆ Choko Coco · May 24, 2026

This ... Thing just Deleted my videos Without my Confirmation Permanently. And with no possibility for recovery. There was No Recycle Bin or any other Folder for Deleted files. NOTHING. I even tried to find them with several types of Recovery-Apps to no use. They are Just GONE. DON'T USE THIS APP.
