Comments on Media Codec Info for Android

★★★★★ Suggestions: 1. Link to Wikipedia article for each codec 2. Show codecs with hardware accelerated support 3. Make it open source with donate option & remove ads

★★★★★ It does exactly what's promoted, great app!

★★★★★ I found out what files my phones' hardware can open. That's everything I wanted

★★★★★ Media codec info Fantastic, made it easier to see exactly which codec app I needed to play a file that I've been trying to open for months but didn't know which codec I was missing to do it... 5 stars just doesn't cover it especially as its small n needs no permissions.... 🙌🙌

★★☆☆☆ Any chance loading up the videos itself to find out which codecs are being used for the video?

★★☆☆☆ Not useful, just extract raw information from the OS and display it. Not really testing if it supported or not.

★★☆☆☆ I am unable to see a film which file only support codec app. Which I am unable to download
