Comparable to
VLC for Android
and
MX Player Pro
, SPLayer - Fast Video Player combines quick performance with a
diverse feature set
that extends beyond simple video playback. It even supports downloading media over the internet through
torrent files
or previewing their contents via direct live streaming.
Video player and more
On the surface, SPlayer - Fast Video Player is a simple video player with a clean and modern UI. It supports and can play pretty much all popular formats available today, and it can
cast your media
to a compatible
Chromecast device. Controls are gesture-based, and you have access to
Audio and Brightness Boosters
to improve your viewing experience.
Dig a little deeper, and you get access to more features available in this video player. You can create Private Folders and use background playback and
Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode
for multitasking. The main highlight, though, is its
built-in torrent client
that lets you grab media from the internet with unlimited speeds, with support for both .torrent and magnet files.
Further features and some issues
This player is
becoming more popular because of partnerships with several small streaming apps
. What happens is that when you pick a movie or TV series, instead of using a built-in player that’s noticeably slower. To combat this problem,
they require you to download this app
, which
works well without slowdowns whatsoever,
making this the top choice for such streaming apps.
To add even more features, it has
subtitle support
with a
size adjuster, color changer, and even a font changer
for a better reading experience. Splayer is also
available in many different languages
, so there’s no problem operating the app in your own native language. Plus, you can
switch it from light to dark mode
for easy night navigation for your eyes.
Even better, you can
preview videos
without downloading them via live streaming, which is handy because it lets you check for quality and such before proceeding. Unfortunately, when it comes to downloading itself, there is
no option to resume
from stopped or interrupted ones. There are also
occasional disconnection issues
when casting to Chromecast devices. Hopefully, these things will be addressed immediately.
Needs ironing out
As a video player, SPlayer - Fast Video Player is good and works reliably. However, some of its other features can be quite inconsistent and need more work to become more stable. Depending on what you need it for, the experience will be ideal or not. Check it out for yourself to see if it will fit and will cater to your needs or not.
