Compared to the other popular players like
MX Player
or
VLC for Android
, HB Video Player takes a
more straightforward approach
that lets users play any video they want right away. This notion is further supported by its
clean and minimalistic
user interface that is just as easy to navigate and use.
Just watch
The majority of people nowadays turn to online streaming services to consume video content. They're convenient, accessible, and don't take up much storage space. However, there are still some users who prefer
offline viewing
, whether due to the lack of an internet connection or personal preference. In these cases, a video player is a must, and HB Video Player is a
simple and lightweight
option.
This video player has a minimalistic user interface that features three tabs. The default one is Video wherein you will see all local files saved on your devices for
quick select-and-play
. The second tab is Folder, and here you can browse through your files in a
more organized way
when looking for something specific. A bonus is that you can also use this app for
network streaming
.
Head over to the Settings page to find additional options you can enable, including
Double Tap functions
for seeking and for play/pause. Back to the player itself, there are on-screen icons for rotation, button lock, changing aspect ratio, and even a
picture-in-picture mode
. Now, as this app's free, it comes with various ads. However, they
will often crash the app
when they appear for no apparent reason.
Problematic
To conclude, HB Video Player is a decent video player app that has all the basics covered and then some. It's clean, intuitive, and offers some nice extras that many will appreciate. However, the crashing problem caused by ads is a deal-breaker and ruins the whole experience. Until it gets fixed in an update, you would be
better off trying other options
.
