Not bad. Except. No DLNA support, no auto subtitles and no alternative language support like MX Player or VLC. The worst part. The app just drops connection after about 20 minutes or so and the file list must be refreshed frequently. File types are also limited.

Great app, using it to seemlessly stream my SMB shares to my chromecasts! Connections are solid and doesn't drop off like other apps. Would be nice if we could rename servers to something outside of the raw share name, and also creating playlists would be neat. Or maybe even just an auto play next episode feature.

The app works, but the problem is that it is mainly made for video, which I didn't know. I paid for it as it is quite cheap. As it stands, VLC is free and also works. I have not done a side by side comparison, but with VLC you can star folders in the server for easy access and it suits my needs better. I would like the app to be clear about what upgrading to premium actually gives you, as I still don't know what it does. Wish the developer the best of luck!

Weak UI and sparse search ability. Found the new Roku TV but displays movies incorrectly. Potrait aspect phone videos are displayed sideways! Developers need to address this issue asap. Uninstalling now. 👎👎👎
